This dinneware got to us much much sooner than expected.  That's always a plus.  I love the look and design.  I haven't had a chance to use it yet so I'm not sure how it will fair in the microwave and dishwasher.  We're waiting to get into our new home.  But I did pull it out and check it over pretty thoroughly.  It's just what I wanted and expected.  I don't see anything disappointing about it at all.
