I saw the mixed reviews online and bought a set a month ago. They fit perfectly into my coastal theme and the color is great. They are solid, but not too heavy to hold and they do NOT scratch. I bought a second set this week and added the vegetable bowl and 8 fruit bowls. If I had to sname something that isn't perfect, I would just like the big bowls to fit better in the dishwasher. But it isn't that big of a deal. I love the set.
