Chipping: How chip resistant is this after years of use?

I have had several pieces of LC for a few years now...like three years. I take care not to knock them around the kitchen, wash them carefully in the sink, etc, and have not had any trouble with chipping. Also, LC has a great warranty against manufacturing defects.

I've only had this particular model for a couple months but have owned two other models and never experienced any chipping even in the northeast winters

We have had our table for about 5 months and have not had any chips to either the chairs or table. We have had spills, dirt, crayon, and marker on it, but it has cleaned off with a moist towel or Lysol wipe. Our set still looks nice and I still love it. Our 3 year old daughter uses it, and as a girl, she is not as hard on it as some boys can be.

I would contact the seller or manufacturer for replacement parts or unit if you still have all the necessary information. These items should not chip easily.

The item was chipped when I received it so I can't say. It hasn't incurred further damaged since I've owned it, likely due to the fact it has been handled with care and isn't used often.

I have used mine at work, everyday since December 2013, dropped it and banged it around a couple of times and no chipping!! There is a small dent though :/

I have had this for almost a year and it still looks brand new. It's the main workspace in our tiny kitchen, and it doesn't have any chips at all.

we also had problems with our thin board. this maple end board has not chiped or split on us at all and we use it to open large hard vegetables. I have sanded the top once and added oil once sense we purchased it. we only use it for vegetables and fruit cutting , no meats

No, they are as good as any other set you would buy at a department store. I've had mine for a while and no chipping yet.

I have not had them that long (3-4 months) but so far they have not chipped. I tend to be careful with dishware anyway - I place them in the cupboard gingerly, load them in the dishwasher in such a way that they don't bang against each other, etc. I hope this helps.

Significantly, one of mine took a chip out of a plywood workbench with little to no damage.The plastic ones I've used on the other hand seem to shatter whenever they touch anything other than air.

No, I haven't had any chipping problems. For normal wear and tear, Le Creuset carries a lifetime warranty.

I think it's pretty sturdy. We haven't had any problems with chipping or breaking.

Hi Roger: This stacked dado system is the best I've found in over 50 years of woodworking. I have had little to no chip-out problems. The trick is keeping the blades sharp and in great condition, with no pitch or rust. Good luck, Cal

I bought standard black drain pieces at Menards. I was worried that they might chip, but my plumber said that the kind of finish used should hold up well. After using the sink for a number of months now, I agree with his assessment -- there's no indication that they will chip.

Yes, I have had mine painted for 2 years and no chipping has occurred. I receive constant comments from guests saying they cant believe its painted. They really thought I had granite counter tops.
