If you are anticipating a quality rivaling the everyday porcelain of Lenox's "Butterfly Meadow".... don't.  These are not that quality.  They are much thicker and do not have the delicate finish by any stretch.  But for the price, they will do the job of everyday dishes and should be more durable than stoneware given that they are porcelain.  However, it wasn't the quality I was expecting given the rave reviews.  So that is my caveat on this product.  I will probably return because I do not think that they are as nice in person as they appear online.  

Pros: Durable and relatively inexpensive
Cons: Too thick for porcelain and rough.  Like a poor relative of several other companies' everyday porcelain offierings.
