I wanted to use these for a while before writing a review. At first I was tempted to return them but seeing how return shipping was going to be too much I decided to use them. At first the dinner plates seemed to have too much of a bevel and I didn’t believe they were flat enough. I was afraid food would just settle in the middle but that actually isn’t the case. We’ve used these for at least a solid month and they are nice everyday plates and easily could be used for more formal dinners. They hold up well and seem to be made of good quality. My husband thinks the cereal bowls are too small but I think they are average to slightly small. Really glad I kept this set! Great shade of white. Not stark white but not cream.
