The whole household is very happy with these dishes. They are substantial, every item is a good size, and they look great. They don't get overly hot in the microwave, unlike some of the dishes we used to have. We bought them (two sets) in order to have some dishes that would work nicely for the holiday season, but that were not so Christmas-y that they couldn't be used beyond. We will probably use these through February. In the right setting they could be used year round. They are quite attractive.

The dishes arrived in perfect condition, very well packed, and quickly.
