This is a nice basic table setting.  It looks lovely on the table, but is casual enough for every day use.  I couldn't be happier with it.  The only thing is I wish the cereal bowl were deeper instead of so shallow.  But it stacks well in the cupboard and is nice for soup & salad.  I just prefer a narrow/deep cereal bowl over a wide/shallow one, so I use a different bowl for my cereal.
