These are very nice and substantial dinnerware.  There is some weight to them, however, I do still feel they are a bit fragile so no accidentally dropping or bumping them on counters.  I ordered the white and love that they actually look like stone so not solid white. I'm not usually fond of round dinner ware simply because they fit oddly in cubboards, but these are great.  I am thinking of ordering the dark blue to go with these I love them so much.
