We already had the white and beige but some chipped so we decided to buy another set. We decided to add some color in our lives. We love the different colors. They are beautiful. We decided to keep the good ones from our whitebeige set and mix all the colors together. I can’t say how durable they are. I don’t know why the dishes chipped. It could be heat from our dishwasher or just clumsiness. However, we still liked these enough to rebuy them. I think out of all the dishes I have seen on Wayfair they are the best quality. My spouse isn’t totally convinced but we figured we would give these another try. Beautiful dishes!
