We have very little storage and I keep my dishes on this little open shelf. For the space, I really wanted simple and white and this delivers nicely. I love the little foot or base of the bowls, just a hint of interest. The coffee mugs just hold 12 ounces so maybe check your k cup settings if you use that. We can be very tough on dishes and these have held up nicely for the first month. I’d buy them again.
