Do you have to polish the silver top & legs-in other words does the silver top tarnish?

I bought this product for use at our church, it has not tarnished. I kind of doubt that it is real silver at the price point.

Well. since It's been a bit more than one year I own it it has not tarnished, still looks like new.You have to tighten the legs from time to time. That's all the care it needs.

The housing unit does give a silver appearance, doesn't have a copper look at all. You will need two people to install but once it is up it is so beautiful! Have gotten many compliments on it.

Tarnish on silver is a special case. Tarnish removal requires chemicals that react with the tarnish. I have never tried removing tarnish from silver with an ultrasonic cleaner but I don't expect it would work, for that reason. For most general cleaning, a special cleaning fluid is not required. Water alone or water plus a little detergent. Many people do buy ultrasonic cleaning solutions to add to that water instead of detergent, but I haven't found it necessary.

There is a board inside the cloth for the bottom and there are dividers to keep the various pieces stacked. Then you pull the cloth cover over the pieces to keep them from tarnishing. I have several and they keep our pieces relatively tarnish free. I polish the silver once every year or two.

Ours is silver on top. Also one thing I felt to be strange, on the front there is a door that has to be lowered before the DVD tray can come out. Not sure why it's even there but we just leave ours down all the time. Hope this helps.

Use Maas after polishing. Spouse says silver does not retarnish. It is a preservative. "Works great."

It does great on everything, although they have a silver polish available on their website I haven't tried but I'm sure will do a great job too.

It will certainly NOT remove the scratches. The silver may help paint over scratches to make them less noticeable.

If it's not too tarnished, yes. If it's really black, like one piece of mine was, it will work but my muscles feel it and I didn't get all of the tarnish. I used a toothbrush and a scotch scrubbie to get into it, but it worked mostly. Much easier to just wash all the silver twice a year if you really don't use it. Worst case, I think the silver cleaner is Dip It. MUCH easier to use.If you do use it, put it on, leave it for a minute or two, then scrub at the tarnish. I found that worked better, but if the silver is really tarnished, buy the silver cleaner.

The finish is shiny (not glaringly so, just not a brushed finish), and has stayed so for the 6 months we've been using ours (with normal silverware use and washing in the dishwasher).

Not sure if it is or not. What I ended up doing before I used it was clear coat it with clear lacquer. It's been a few months and it hasn't rusted or shown signs that it will.

One of the best metal polishes for tarnish removal and with more effort small scratches. Metals like silver will eventually tarnish.

Not for sure. I have sold Native American jewelry which is all silver. I think properly cleaning and displaying on the cloth should get you a long way in keeping the silver tarnish resistant.

I really don't know but I wouldn't chance it, with the experience I've had, I'm pretty sure it would scratch the silver, not polish it.

I've had the set for a couple of months. You definitely will have to polish then regularly if you want them to stay shiny.

They only affect the silver and keep it from tarnishing. They do a great job at it too. Thanks for asking.
