Epoque Hammered Italian Flatware Sets

Do not buy this flatware. We bought 6 sets--an investment. It says it's dishwasher safe stainless steel. Within weeks we had rust even though we'd barely washed it. I reached out to customer service and specifically asked if this was an anomaly because I didn't want to be dealing with more than $600 worth of rusting flatware. Without addressing that concern at all, they had Mepra send another set. Less than 2 months later 3 more sets are rusting. I reached out with photos, referenced the fact that this had happened before and I'd voiced concerns. After a few emails I was told too bad, Food52 doesn't cover anything past 30 days so you're stuck with it. Obviously flatware should last longer than 30 days. I was told as an apology I could have a $20 credit to purchase something else on the site. You have really got to be kidding me. I purchased from Food52 because I expected them to stand behind their products and it was a big purchase. Now I'm stuck with $600 worth of flatware that will continue to rust. I'm beyond disappointed and I certainly won't buy from Food52 again.
