Absolutely in LOVE with this set! I got the Ink Green color and it's just soooo deep of a color, but yet really vibrant. Exactly what I was looking for ^_^ I ordered place settings for 8. One box has arrived and the other is on it's way. The first box, everything was very well packaged all in cardboard. Nothing was chipped or broken.  I washed everything in the dishwasher and ate my first meal on the large dinner plate. I'm so excited to have a dinner party now!
