I love the design and the splash of color they add to my kitchen. I have  picture frame cabinets so they are always on display. This adds a lovely brightness to my kitchen. The king packed beautifully there was not one broken piece. I will say the only reason why I did not give them five stars, is because they are a little heavy. My house is an old 1901 Colonial and I am a little concerned that the weight of these dishes could make the shelves collapse as I purchased service for 12.
