Is the finish shiny? And if so, do the pieces stay shiny with use?

Yes they are shiny and will stay that way. Scratches are the usual cause of stainless getting dull as well as hard water. I have had my set for 9 months and use it everyday.It is s shiny as the day it came from the box.

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).

I would say semi shiny. Usage can dull them if you use a harsh detergent and scrubbing pads

These pieces are 18/0, which means the stainless steel contains contains 18% chromium and 0% nickel. The nickel, if present, would have given the metal a brilliant luster and resistance to staining. Instead, these pieces will have a soft shine, and will stain.

It is a little bit shiny. Our sofas were not shiny either and they look completely fine together. They don't look fake at all. We actually bought another one so that both our boys have one now. They absolutely love them.

Yes, the set remains shiny. We have used the set daily since Jan 2013. The set is also well balanced and easy to handle.

The finish is solid. We have had this item since July of 2013 and there is no sign of wear. My husband is not easy on his either, he yanks his towel off it. They still look brand new and we will be getting more for the kids bathroom. I did not purchase the shiny chrome bar, it is brushed nickel which is beautiful.

All parts are brushed, so nothing is shiny. We have no scratches on it after almost a year. Never even thought about it, so haven't been super careful. Very nicely made-- it has a high-quality, solid look and feel.

They do not have a shiny surface. They are a medium weight. I have been using them in Kindergarten, and they are holding up well.

I would not describe it a shiny. I had another Blanco sink in the previous house, and I did not notice any change in the surface over time. It is great material I would not use anything else.

Is shiny finish which can show fingerprints, smudges. So sometimes have to wipe off when setting out. On the whole is very nice and I'm happy with this set.

Most of the surface is shiny. If you look closely you will see just on the left side of the design (handles) is a brushed or satin finish with shiny backside. They are of good quality, nice solid feel and look great! I will be ordering another set of 8. Hope this helps.

Good morning. Sturdy wood pieces you assemble. As for the non-toxic finishes, I hope so!!! We've had it in our lobby for about a year and nothing has chipped and is in great condition. I do recommend this product.

Yes, they are shiny. In addition, USA Pans are the best I've ever used - easily cleaned and makes "awesome" baking products.

The finish is soft/satin type finish. It's not shiny. I have stainless steel appliances and it looks great. I was a bit concerned when I ordered, but they look great and work great.

When I first got my set, they seemed to be a bit shiny, possibly a light finish. It quickly wore off after a few uses. The handles are still shiny though.

I've been using this brand for about a year. It is very shiny. It does take practice to apply, but I have been pleased with the look of the finish.

It is shiny, the picture is not the best then. The set is beautiful, it was a great purchase and for a very good price too. I love this silverware, it is so complete!
