This is a nice set for the holidays.  If you are looking for a perfect set with no flaws than you won't be happy because it isn't perfect..  However, for the price of the set looks impressive and is nice.  I purchased this for our Thanksgiving dinner and I received nice compliments on pretty it was.  I wanted china that could be easily cleaned in the dishwasher and could be functional for many occasions.  I am happy I bought it and know I will get many uses out of it in the years to come.  

Pros: Looks expensive, dishwasher safe
Cons: Has imperfections in the design.  Coffee cups very small.
