After a few years of regular use, our Noritake Colorwave dishware has mostly remained intact. We've had multiple chips and a few breaks, which has necessitated buying a new set of dishes to replace broken pieces. Normal wear-and-tear has left slight/minor fork and knife marks on the porcelain dishes. They're only lightly noticeable. For the most part, they've been good daily-use dishes and I would likely buy them again. Decent quality for the affordable price point.
