I have a family of 6 so dinnerware sets with more than 4 settings can be pricey. I ordered two of these dinnerware sets because they were so affordable, less for two than what I would have paid for a larger set. I opened only one box at the time and inspected the contents and then packed them away anticipating a move. Of course the box I didnt check had a bowl in it with a chip. Also some of the plates are a little asymmetrical. Over all not too bad for how affordable they are.
