Purchasing from Wayfair is wonderfully easy and delivery was prompt with no issues at all.  I like my new dishes though they are both darker in color (I got the gray/blue) and thicker than they look in the picture.  The paint under the glazing does seem to have puckered, or at least it is not an even color but I do not mind that so much.  The plates, both sizes, and mugs are nice and large.  The bowls are deep but thick and heavy.  Overall I would say that I would love to have been able to handle the dishes prior to purchasing them. I guess that is one of the downsides of shopping on the Internet! Still, the new dishes are attractive and I will enjoy them.
