I love this dinnerware set.  The weight of the plates and bowls is solid without being heavy.  I wanted plates that had an upward curve to hold keep sauces on the plate and these are perfect!  The set is great for every day and can also be dressed up.  I purchased a set of grey, beige, and ocean blue to have a little variety for serving and it looks terrific!  This set also fits well in the dishwasher, easy to load.  I'm so happy to have found this well-made set and bonus:  It's affordable!!!
