NutriChef 8 pc. Tri-Ply Copper Kitchenware Set

Very nice on first inspection the set seemed to be substantial and sturdy pieces which I attribute to the stainless steel. The large stockpot had several areas where the copper coating either didn't adhere or was rubbed off during production. The imperfections tell me all I need to know about the copper. I understand tarnish/patina and this isn't tarnish. At first, I didn't want to have to send all the items back and risk the same situation. The chat Customer service was good but I had to reword my conversations several times to actually get anywhere. They first offered10% off and eventually gave me a partial refund of $52 as they wouldn't do a partial return and exchange, which is what I originally thought I wanted. I came to the conclusion that I will be returning this set and looking at other options. If I want any substantial form of copper cookware, it’s gonna cost! I cannot afford, justify, nor do I need (or do I?) Mauviel but I would like a few visually pleasing and useful pieces of copper cookware.
