Disappointed in return policy! … I recently purchased a set of pots and pans on 12/29. They were received within a week. They were well packed and nicely presented - considering the price of the set they should be! We unpacked them to check out the stacking capability which is very nice. I used the smallest pot to boil water and was very surprised after one use how easily they become “scarred”…yes I know they can be cleaned with bar keepers. A couple of points - they are heavy! Seniors beware the removable handle is easy to use but if you don’t the metal pot “rings” get very hot. - requires two pot holders if you don’t use the handle. The pots are also very large scale. I realize they need to be to be stackable but the smallest is not your normal small saucepan nor are the frying pans at the bottom of the stack! After all of this I realized this set was not for us and I reached out to the vendor to return the set (at least all but the one pot that I used)! They are telling me that nothing is returnable since I used the one pot! Their site says you can return unused items but it doesn’t say - that applies to an entire set if you only use one part of a set! Had I known this I would have purchased one pot to test it out then decide if I want the rest (149 vs 1k) - so beware! They seem to apply the return policy at their discretion! By the way - the communication is all through email. No one answers the phone and voice messages are not returned! For this reason I am giving them a one star!

sturdy, stackable for serious cooking but cumbersome for smaller spaces I really love how sturdy and stackable the set is. However, they aren’t ideal for smaller spaces . These would be great for prepping huge amounts of food for many people on a special occasion, but they quality of being large and heavy makes them not ideal for single people, couples living in small condos or apartments, or everyday cooking. Some of the pans hang over the side of my stove and encroach on the other burner area so I can’t use all the burners i need to to prep certain dishes . I think if you made a smaller set it would be a real hit. Personally, I prefer my more light weight pots and pans for everyday cooking. But having to store many set of pots and pans defeats the purpose of having stackwear intended for decluttering, organizing, efficiency and a minimalist lifestyle. I’m sad I gave my old pots pans away when I got the Stackware. I had high hopes for these.

New smaller kitchen The kitchen in our new, super energy-efficient home has less cabinet space than the prior one. It also has a super efficient induction stove. The Ensembl cookware occupied a lot less space. Ensemble replaced a decades old and much loved All-Clad set successfully. It's attractive stainless steel and my wife now loves induction cooking.

Repeat experience as good as the first This was my second order because I really love the cookware and wanted to gift it. My first set is over 2 years old and it still is shiny and cooks like a dream. I got a second set as a gift and my friends love it too. Customer service is always helpful and were able to ship an order as a priority before Christmas. Highly recommend!

Functional & Beautiful Investment I pre-purchased the full set of Stackware and it was worth the wait. The set is gorgeous – but also heavy, super luxe and heats evenly with no hot spots. The laser-welded handles eliminate obtrusive rivets to cook/clean around. The clear glass lids lay flat and stack well, and the removable handles let me maximize my stovetop space and afford a cool-touch surface when it's time to relocate from the burner. The set nests together on one shelf – and aside from my cast iron, stand on their own as everything needed to get any job done. In a world where I’m cooking frequent, healthy and creative meals from home, Stackware has made my daily kitchen time more enjoyable and my cabinets less cluttered – does it get any better for a city-dweller?
