Overall, very pleased. My only issue with this set (and it is minor) is that they are apparently irregulars; that is, the plates and bowls are not all the exact same shape, so they don't lie flat on each other in the cupboard. I notice this because my cupboard space is small and the plates take up more space than my old plates, and I can see how they ripple and aren't even. That said, I've had no trouble with them in terms of cleaning or chipping, and though they are advertised as a Christmas set, I find the pattern is unobtrusive enough that I use them year-round.
