I am quite happy with the sets I ordered.  The dishes are heavy and look good.  The salad plate is a little smaller than I hoped and the soup bowl a little larger.  The dinner plate is a good size.  I ordered two sets with mugs and four sets without and was pleased I had that option.  We always seem to end up with way too many mugs and that problem was solved with the options for these sets.  I do wish there was open stock offered, though, since I had the dishes two hours when I dropped and broke a bowl.  Totally my fault but it would be nice to be able to replace it.
