Made In Cookware

Never heard of them. I went to their website, and it said "Made In kitchen products are made in the best factories around the world." So, given the low prices, I take that to mean Made In China, Bangladesh, Vietnam, etc.
They have some well-known chefs endorsing them, but chefs will endorse anything, if you pay them enough.
They are probably okay. But, since I don't know anyone who has them, and have never had one in my kitchen, I don't know.

And here is their story (seems not to be China, Bangladesh made etc.).

I wouldn't say the prices were particularly cheap either. I wouldn't pay this much for a non-stick frying pan.

Exactly and this doesn't look like a proper carbon steel pan compared to De Buyer, Mauviel etc.. and it's even more expensive.
Had a look to their website and my impression is that they are using outsourced manufacturers for different products and marketing them under one brand. Maybe they are good, but I wouldn't risk it..
They don't sell carbon steel. They sell multi-ply cookware with stainless steel and aluminum layers, similar to All Clad.
As for price, I only looked at one of the multi-piece sets, and it seemed pretty cheap.

They do seem sell carbon steel (maybe you didn't spot it): Made In | Carbon Steel Collection
Maybe your idea of pretty cheap is rather different from mine! Unless, of course, they are selling much cheaper to the American market. I was looking at the UK version of the website.

I've bought this one for 30€ and very happy with the quality! The ones on the website doesn't look like carbon steel.
de Buyer Acier Carbone Plus-koekenpan 30 cm 5110.30
I didn't see the carbon steel. I don't think that was what pocofan was interested in.
The set I looked at, the 11-piece sous chef set, is $599, and has two sizes of that non-stick skillet. Now that I looked again, it appears to have a carbon steel skillet, as well.
They have a 14-piece set called "The Executive Chef" that sells for $849. That's a whole kitchen worth of pans for 850 bucks.

I've never heard of the company. I typically won't buy any cookware without testing it first. I'll buy one piece and see how things go. If I like it, I may try one or two more before investing in a set. I don't trust any celebrity endorsing anything at any time for any reason. LOL
The only thing I can see from the website that bothers me a bit, is that Made In appears to use a brushed finish on the outside of their pans, instead of a polished finish. My experience with brushed finishes on anything is that they are harder to get clean, since stuff has a rough surface to grab onto.
Like MJD-L said, I would buy one pan first, try it, and if I like it, I might buy more. If I didn't like it, I'd return it, and move on. It is just so hard for me to make an assessment on a brand I've never heard of, let alone used -- or held in my hands.

I use what we have, my wife shops at Briscoes a lot, everything in there. Quite often she texts me a pic of an item (pan) and say do,we need one? Yay or nay from me.
