Dinnerware appearance is OK but to me the artwork does not look as dark as the picture...it looks a little faded.  I carefully inspected each piece and found bubbles and pitting on several pieces.  I chatted with customer service immediately and they were wonderful.  They are replacing the items.  It was a no fuss no hassle experience.  To me, the dinnerware is not suitable for everyday use even though it says microwave/dishwasher safe.  The plates are thin and you have to be VERY careful with them.  The bowls are smaller than a normal bowl.  My overall assessment is the value and quality does not match the cost of the item.
