We registered for these dishes for our wedding in 2009 for every day use as that is what they were recommended for by the sales associate. After washing and beginning to use them, they started to chip. Not because they fell but rather from stacking, putting in the dishwasher and just trying to use them for what they were intended. Within a month at least 4-6 dishes were either chipped or broke. 2 years later they just sit in our cabinets as we are afraid to break more of them.
