The set of pans is an excellent value for the money. The storage box was damaged in shipement and it wasn't replaced but other than that it's a good deal.

I've had this set for a month now and am very happy with it. I needed a new set of pots and pans because my ones from Target (not Starfrit) were all scratched on the cooking surface. When my kids got older and started using them, they weren't careful about not using metal spoons and spatulas on them. Everyone is under strict orders to use plastic or wooden utensils on these pots and pans and so far, so good. I even put them in the dishwasher and they hold up great. My husband says they take longer to heat up than the old ones we had, but that's minor in my book. The plastic box they come in is cool, but unnecessary. I would have preferred to pay less for the set and forego the box but I'll use it for storage of something. Buy these. You'll be very satisfied with them.

The smooth ceramic performs surprisingly well. You can't really fry an egg on it without oil, but it is more non-stick and easier to clean than hard anodized surfaces like Calphalon. I've now switched to Starfrit when boiling bones for stock because the froth leaves a ring on my stainless pots that is impossible to remove. I even deep fry in the sauce pot because oil splatter comes right off. It's nice that the coating extends to the outside (but not bottom) of each pan or pot.
Build quality is acceptable but not great--comparable to entry level non-stick offerings. The glass lids even look like they came from the same factory. Both the pan and lid handles are attached by Philips head screws which came loose after the first week's use. :(
The degree of the "Eco-friendly" and "better for the environment" claims is questionable. The application of conventional teflon non-stick to cookware is probably not great for the environment, but I rather doubt the application of this ceramic coating is pollution-free either. The use of "99% recycled aluminium" is probably behind those claims. But why the set ships in a plastic tote is beyond me. Would anyone store their cookware in it?
I can believe that ceramic is more inert than teflon, and that it is "better ... for your health", especially at the higher temperatures required for frying. However, there is no information about what kind of ceramic is used, or that is in fact safer, so you have to take it on good faith.
All in all a good second set of cookware especially if you believe teflon is carcinogenic. I would not use the Starfrit when thermal performance is critical, e.g. searing, because the pans are on the light side. 3.5 stars.
6 MONTH UPDATE
There is a chip in the center of the small frying pan revealing the aluminum despite careful use, i.e. no metal utensils and hand washing only. Who wants their food to be touching recycled aluminum? On closer examination, the ceramic finish of the larger frying pan looks like it was fixed by hand because you can see what looks like circular brush marks. The others in the set are perfectly smooth. Non-stick performance on all still pretty good (about 75% compared to brand new) but discovered that grease splatter from frying does not wash off internal walls so easily and requires some scrubbing to remove. Downgrade to 3 stars.

I absolutely love this cookwear. Super easy to cook with and to clean. I would have given it a 5, but you do have to be careful with it. I got a couple of chips on the rim on the first day. I will not return it, though. I've been treating it with great care because it is so wonderful.

I love the pans to cooks with. They are excellent, however, they are getting chipped at the rim of the pan when I stack them in the drawer. I have to put towels in between them, ugh! If you were to hang them it would help them last longer.
