This dinnerware set is awesome ! They are true to color on website an off white with a slight hint of beige around the decorative inlay. I think they are very unique, I love that the dinner plate is square and the salad plate is round. At first glance you think they might only be traditional looking but I have an eclectic home more on the transitional side and I think they fit perfectly. The bowls are smaller but are deep. I love love love this set, so much so I bought 3 sets. Out of the three one bowl came broken and I called customer service and just like that they are sending me a whole new set, free of charge. I only needed the bowl but Wayfair is very customer service oriented and my satisfaction I guess must really mean something to them to do that for me. That is why I keep coming back to Wayfair. You guys rock !
