I have had Corelle dinnerware for my everyday dishes that I have used for 48 years and they still look great. My everyday set was a service for 12 of the white with gold ring of flowers. I bought the plain white to add to my set for when I entertain without using my China. In all the 48 years I have never broken a dish. They microwave nice are dishwasher safe and since they are thin do not take up much space when stacked.
