Received this dinnerware set about a week ago and they are so lovely. The photos here really don't do them justice. We are using them for our every day dinnerware but they could most certainly be used for formal occasions as well. 
They are durable, microwavable and dishwasher safe. Love these, really a great purchase! 

Pros: Great value, durable, dishwasher safe, microwavable
Cons: None
