I like these plates but there were some things I didn't consider when buying. The thickness of the plates made it hard to fit in our smaller than usual dishwasher. My husband was putting one in the dishwasher, it slipped from his hand and broke in 2. It was literally like 5 in from the floor when it fell. I didnt think it should have broken so easily. So we haven't had it a month yet and are already down a plate. I wish they were a little bit thinner but sturdier.
