Lenox Portola Satin Black Piece Flatware Set, 20 Count, Metallic

The paint is already rubbing off the tips after 1 month, too late to return. Barely used and I only handwash dishes with Dawn Platinum. I can't even imagine what they'll look like several years from now. I don't know if I just received counterfeit sets because I ordered them here on Amazon but I'm very disappointed in the quality of Lenox and will not be buying from them again. Another minor criticism is if you look at the utensils, you will notice they kind of stem outwards near the bottom of the handle, almost forming a triangle shape. When holding the utensils handle, these points on each side can dig into your skin. This doesn't affect me personally but I have certainly heard others complain about it, predominantly women because they have softer skin. When my mother first used these she actually ended up with a bad red spot between her thumb and index finger as they scratched her skin nearly raw.

They have lasted a year and 1/2 going through dishwasher everday.
