So far, I love these dishes. They look very stylish & classy …. dress up the table or can just be casual. The size of the items (plate, side plate & bowls) is perfect - not so large you’d think you are feeding a bear! I’m trying to keep my weight down and really large tableware means I fill the plate and consume it all. With this set, I can do that and not worry. I’ve seen sets like these for three to four times the price.
