I'm disappointed in the quality.  I unpacked the dishes and put them in my dishwasher on a gentle cycle before I put them in the cabinets.  Several plates had scratches across the porcelein.  Guess I should have checked every plate more carefully.  By then it was too late to repack the dishes and too expensive to ship them back so I'll use them until I find a better set.  So bummed and although dishes are "cute", I cannot recommend them because of the poor quality.
