Excellent dinnerware set!  I love them! I bought two after reading the other reviews and I actually might purchase a third! They're simple and chic/Classic but updated. Great weight - not too heavy like my previous dishes but they feel substantial.  They look great on the table and since its a classic design you can dress these up or down easily.  My teenagers love them also. ha!  They also stack beautifully on the cabinet shelf.   One noticeable difference for me is the bowls.  The bowls are definitely smaller in circumference than our other pasta bowls but I think that's because this set doesn't have an exaggerated rim like more traditional soup/pasta bowls.  Ounce for ounce I think the actual serving size you could fit in these bowls is exactly the same but I havent tested that theory out yet.  :)  Delivery was very quick and they were packaged extremely well also.  Highly recommend these!
