Very nice every day dishes.  You could find less expensive every day dishes, but these are very nice - beautiful pattern, sturdy ceramic, not thin.  There was one plate that had a bit of a chip on the bottom, but it was sealed in with glaze so it didn't happen after they were finished being made.  I didn't bother to return them because it doesn't affect me one way or the other.  I really like these dishes.  They were well packed so no damage in shipping.
