I have always used Calphalon cookware! I decided to buy this set of 10 when I moved into a new house. The pieces arrived in an overall good state; however, the way they stacked some of the pans in the box allowed them to rub on one another. There were several small areas above the handles, just outside of the cooking area, where the nonstick coating was rubbed completely off! The rub spots actually go all the way down to the metal pan itself! I didn't mind too much since I don't plan on cooking food on the rim of my pans. The lids were a nice touch for the pots! This was another great Amazon experience!
