I bought this set 2 years ago and immediately had trouble with them chipping and breaking. The dishes say that they are dishwasher and microwave safe but there is definitely some flaw in them that causes them to chip or crack. I've had to throw away a couple plates because they were completely broken in half. Cracked right through the plate. 
I did contact pfaltzgraff when I had 5 dishes chip the first few months and they were kind and replaced those five as a "one time convenience for free." I now have over a third of my large set that is chipped so I'm writing this review to let people know. You can see in the picture 11 of my large plates that are chipped. 
I love the pattern of this set and it was expensive so it's very sad & frustrating. :(
