There are some positives.  I love the look.  They are also solid plates without being too heavy.  They arrived without flaws.  There are also some negatives.  They get hot pretty quickly when heated in the microwave.  The small plates are absurdly small.  I got these because I didn't want mugs.  I looked at a lot of different sets.  I thought these would be great with the two kinds of bowls, but the small bowls are to small to really be useful.  I didn't even unpack them all.  At best, they fit a small scoop of ice cream or a serious pour of a condiment.  I like the set well enough to keep and don't relish repacking them to send them back.  However, if I had it to do over, I would not have bought these.   There are other sets with mugs (that I wouldn't have used) that I preferred.
