I love these dishes!  The gentle square shape is very easy on the eye.  I was looking for the pointed square shape at first but went with this s instead.  I wanted microwaveable dishes because others get to hot if you use them to reheat a food.  I love the cups/ they look smart, hold a good amount of liquid and are thin rimmed on the lips when sipping. The soup plate is much shallower than I would have liked but eating my yogurt and blueberries in the morning is a perfect vessel for it.   I am so pleased I am buying another service for 4.
