I really like these dishes. They are quite a bit different in appeareance than my old ones, but I've decided I really like them. They feel very sturdy and shine. I did not have one broken dish when they arrived, and I ordered 3 boxes. I was very impressed by that. I noticed they do not seem to get as hot to the touch when I used in the microwave, compared to my old dishes, that was a good thing. So that was exciting.  I do wish that they had more to offer in this pattern, besides just the basics. But Im still glad I got them.
