Love this design - even more in person.  It is not a heavy weight ceramic - quite light.  We were not concerned about the dish weight - wanted the "look" and it is adorable.  If I were rating ONLY the packaging, it would be 1 Star.  The dishes were packed in a styrofoam-type container - then packed in a box - then in another box.  Sounds good -- however the top plate was allowed to slide and 1 broke.  Worse yet, the mugs were stacked (2-stack) with only thin paper between.  In 4 boxes - only 1 bottom mug made it, without breaking!!!.  The reason I still gave it 4 stars is because Customer Service came through quickly and I am satisfied.
