After shopping around for several months and seeing this set on several sites, it pulled me in, so I went ahead and ordered 3 sets to have a 12 piece place setting. I just love them. The plates are not too heavy (I was worried about that) and they do not get really hot when used in the microwave, both pluses. The pattern is subtle and very pretty. I would recommend the Trellis Coastal White dinnerware set.
