I purchased two sets and recommend you do the same. I've been very pleased with this set of dishes. UPDATED Dec. 4, 2017...I have had to return both sets of these dishes. The coffee mugs are not well balanced and a guest almost spilled hot coffee on herself. I purchased the turquoise set, they are very pretty and overall they are well made. If you don't intend to use the coffee mugs they will be fine. I went with a few sets of simple white dishes and I am happier with the versatility of these more than a set with a pattern.
