This set has everything I wanted in it. The design on the plates are gorgeous! Im super happy with the bowls, I eat my cereal in them everyday. The only, only issue I've had is that one of the dinner plates kind of wobbles on the table, as if its not flat. I received it like that. Its kind of annoying, but I can deal with it. I have used the plates in the microwave, and they do not get hot.
