I have this set for 2 years. The saltshaker has no problem, but 2 parts of the pepper mill, the part of the handle and the top screw, were broken under normal use after a few months. In addition, this pepper mill doesn't work well if you fill it with peppercorns. When peppercorns are full, it produces very little and very fine pepper grinds; however, it starts to make very big & rough pepper grinds when the amount of peppercorns is getting low. Even though these look very pretty, it was a very bad choice.
