They are good everyday plates.  Visually they are a good looking plate, the mugs are very nice looking.  The issue is the sizing of the plates and bowls.  The plates are a little larger than normal, my cabinet door won't close flush due to this.  The bowls are not very deep, especially for cereal.  Past that, they seem to be made will with good materials.  They are heavy weight, so they don't feel as if you might break them if you set it down to hard.
