very disappointed. I like the style of the dishes (although shading in the center is darker than pictures- it is very brown). But I can live with that. The problem is the finish on the coffee mugs. It is a grey mat finish, and easily scratched from just normal use and hand washing. Mine is a household of just one adult, and they have scratches that are quite visible after just weeks of use I hate to thing what they will look like in 6 months.  So I would not recommend. This product will look old in no time an I will be contacting the manufacturer. Cuisinart
