A: Please be aware that the silver coating on these pieces is imperfect. Our original vision for them was a chrome coating that turned out not to be feasible. We ended up deciding to go ahead and make this set with the best options we could provide for the silver coating.

As noted in this Kickstarter update, our factory did everything they could to ensure the durability of the silver coating on the pyramids, but even so, they can get scratched and may wear off if given enough use, so please treat these more gently than regular pyramids. With a little extra care, your silver pieces should stay shiny and pristine for years to come.

Note that, as of that update, we had still been planning to make the version in distribution gray, but we ended up making them red (as mentioned in THIS update).
