My husband and I got this dishware for our wedding and we've had it about a year now. It's been reliable, cute, simple and study. We are very happy with our choice! One thing we might do differently is by the pieces seperately. We bought 12 sets that included a large plate, small plate, bowl and mug. We use all the dishes, but use the mugs less frequently, especially as we have more personal decorative mugs. Overall, great set!
