Love this dinnerware - it's exactly what I wanted and was worth waiting for.  Use it in the kitchen for every day eating but it's classy enough that I wouldn't hesitate to use it in a more formal setting.  Seems a little lighter in weight than most stoneware - I consider that a plus.  Haven't had it long enough to rate it's durability but so far, so good.  Also quite reasonably priced compared to other brands I had considered.
