Ordered 2 set of these dishes and both arrived on time in perfect condition.  Design is classy enough for entertaining and seem durable enough for everyday use.  I have only used them for a week, so can’t comment on how they hold up to long term use.  Dishes are not as dark as they appear in the photo and have more of a shiny finish, not matte like in the photo.  Plates have a curved edge.  Size is not a problem, they fit nicely in the cupboard and the dishwasher. Great value for the price (under 60 for 16 piece set).  Noticed on the Royal Doulton site that this set has been discontinued.
