My husband and I have had 8 place settings of the Noritake Colorwave Raspberry Rim dinnerware for almost 2 years now and we love it! It is a stylish but not flashy pattern and the color is wonderful. We don't have a dishwasher so I don't have any experience with that, but all of the pieces wash great by hand and we've used them in the microwave without any problems. I've noticed a few scratches on the insides of some of the bowls - probably from forks - but nothing too noticeable unless you really look for it. Overall, great dinnerware pattern with commendable durability and timeless style.
