I was pleased to receive my cookware set quickly and in great shape. No dents! They were lighter than I expected, but that is a good thing...easier to handle! Speaking of handles, they are sturdy and smooth. I don't care for the hanging ring since my cookware is on slide out drawers, but I do like that the set doesn't have "bolts" on the inside. They are smooth inside and that makes easier clean up. Over all a great buy!
