These are lovely everyday dishes. I purchased these sets because I was looking for light weight dishes to replace our everyday stoneware set. The description said the dinner plate weighed 1.2 lbs.; however, my scale showed it weighed 2 lbs., which is the same weight as the ones I replaced. We're keeping them because the pieces are oversize and look great. I do think you should correct the correct the specs to reflect the true weight of the dishes.
