Way more durable than the Zanzibar dinnerware set from the same company which chips when you basically touch anything with them.  THESE however are not as vibrant as the picture suggests.  I'm drinking out of the purple cup now and  it is more of a brown color than purple. I was disappointed with how these looked in person.  Like I said though, the durability is much better than the other set I have ordered.  Personally I'm coming to the conclusion that Wayfair has cheap end stuff that doesn't hold up as I have had to request replacements of several things I have ordered.
