I have been married for 30 years and my 2 children are now adults.  I finally have a new dinnerware set that is beautiful.  No cracks or chips and all pieces accounted for.  I could hardly wait for this time when I could purchase the set I would fall in love with and not be afraid of the childrens accidents.
Here it is,  a year later.  NOT loving these dishes anymore.  The trim color comes off a little each time they are washed.  The dishes dont stand up to metal utensils.  They are scratched up from forks,and cutting our food on them. Scratches are gray, so you can imagine how unattractive they now look.
