The set is a good modern shape. It washes very well in the dishwasher and is light to handle. The dinner plates are smaller than earlier sets we have had  so we were a little unsure at first but there is plenty of room when you start using them and slightly smaller portions is a good idea anyway. However the set is DEFINITELY NOT WHITE! It is a very soft, subtle grey colour and the difference is very obvious when placed alongside genuinely white crockery. It was OK for us because our kitchen has grey in the decor but if you need a white set you will need to look elsewhere. It took 3 goes to get a set of salad plates that were not shattered on arrival but as per usual Wayfair were diligent and determined in there efforts to get the order complete and were pleasant to deal with.
