I really love this design. Previously I bought a set for 4 people, but felt that it wasn't enough for me because I frequently have guests at my place. So I bought more plates and mugs to make it set for 8. Can't be happier. My single friend who was visiting me even said that after seeing my dining set he how wants to have a family because that's what gives coziness - family and nice dinnerware. #sweepstakes
