We love the size, the design and the large edge of the plates. Small plates are a good size also and the bowls are not huge but big enough for a full can of Progresso soup. I like the cups, but they could be larger. What I like most is the quality. The plates are very durable and do not take on the metal scratches from dinnerware. The plates are so smooth that food cleans off with less effort that other plates. I banged a plate fairly hard against the sink edge by accident and it did not chip or make any mark at all. Time will tell if they stay looking so good.
