Love my Fiesta Bistro sets. Bought 4 sets on a decent sale...two in scarlet and two in sunflower (which to me is more of a light daffodil). They arrived in good condition.and were well packaged in bubble wrap. We have these same dishes in our time share condo. and surprisingly they have held up well with the number of new tenants every week. They are strong, and sturdy but tend to be a bit heavy for an older person to hold. Hopefully they will sustain the abuse left by my husband who is not always watching where the tap is located when washing dishes by hand. But who's complaining...he's washing the dishes!
