I purchased two sets of these dishes. They look exactly as pictured. One thing I didn't realize is how thin they would be, however, I've heard that Corelle is very strong. I do feel, though, that they would break easily if dropped with how thin they are. The cups are thicker with a kind of rounded square opening. All in all these dishes have a great look. I love that they are square versus the usual round plates. I've received many compliments.
