I have had mine for over two years now. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

Great question. I ordered from Blue Nile online. Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.
