The set of dinnerware is a lovely pale blue and appears to be quite sturdy without being overly heavy to handle.  It has a beautiful pattern and is easy to clean and really dresses up the table.  I ordered a service for 8 and upon unpacking the second set of dinnerware, I discovered one of the salad plates was broken.  I contacted wayfair and the customer service rep I spoke with had another set of dishes on the way to me in less than 24 hours.  I was truly impressed not only with the dinnerware but also with the timely fashion and the ease of solving the problem.
