Love this dinnerware set!  It’s more matte, which I prefer, than the photo. The packaging could be better. They sent a replacement set due to a bowl chipping as I was unpacking them. The replacement set came with a broken pasta bowl. No big deal since it was a replacement and was grateful that they even sent one. They do mark easily with a knife but that doesn’t bother me, I think it adds to its charm.  You honestly can’t beat the price if you’re looking for something modern without breaking the bank.
