Like the title says I was disappointed with this set. I've had many sets of Corelle plates over the years and they are my all time favorite brand of plates because they're lightweight and very break-resistant. I haven't had problems with my Corelle sets until this one and I'm guessing (and hoping) it was just a fluke.Everything arrived fine, nothing broken, but after the first dishwash (and after putting them away) I noticed the next day there was a tiny piece chipped off from one of the dinner plates. The tiny piece was sitting right next to the plate so it somehow chipped off in the cabinet. Did someone ding it or was it already chipping and the dishwasher did it in? No idea. All I know is this is the first Corelle plate I've had that has chipped. It was just one dinner plate though so not too big a deal.Another thing I disliked about this set is the feeling of the design on the plates. It's very rough and when you go to get a plate out you can feel/hear the gritty sound the plates make as they're scraping by the plate below/on top. I've had other Corelle plates with designs on them and they're smooth (or at least much smoother than this design). Not sure what the difference is in manufacturing but I don't prefer how this design was put on the plates.Other than the chip and the grittiness of this set I do love these plates. The design is beautiful and it adds a nice splash of color to the kitchen/dining room and they're nice to eat off of.Overall satisfied with this purchase and would buy again because they're just such a beautiful design. I think I just got one bad plate and it's not speaking for this whole set or Corelle in general. Like I said, all my other Corelle sets have been wonderful.Like other reviewers, the first set arrived shattered. There were little to no packaging inside to protect the dishes during shipping at all. However, the replacement set arrived 2 days later and were in perfect condition. This is my first set of Correlle dinnerware and I couldn't be more happier with the beautiful design and light weight. These are such a space saver as I was able to fit everything nicely on one shelf and still have room left for my glassware. I also love that they are made in the USA (as stamped on each plate) and I appreciate the great customer service. Looking forward to adding more pieces to my collection!We bought these b/c of pending houseguests with kids and the fact that we don't have lots of presentable dishes. This set was chosen for the speckle pattern and b/c it did NOT have mugs/cups. We have plenty of mugs and needed plates & bowls instead. Had the finish where the speckles are been smooth, the rating would have been a 5. It is not smooth. As a result, for adherent foods like melted cheese, the speckled area is harder to wash by hand. (I cannot speak to how dishwashers handle such foods) Piece sizes and capacities are practical. If they absorb the insults of day to day use as readily as our older Corelle does, this will have been a very good investment.I love Corelle products because of their durability. However, the bowls in this set are quite small (few scoops of ice cream or a small serving of cereal for a child). Otherwise I have no complaintsIt's great! Haven't had any issues, as per usual. It puts up with clumsy self really well. No chips, tarnish, or anything.My husband needed dishes for everyday that weren't heavy like our stoneware. This works out great because their chip resistant and lightweight. We use them everydayThis is by far the most beautiful, yet simple, everyday use set I have had. Other sets although beautiful, kept on chipping but this has been so easy to maintain. The set’s footprint is so small that I have been able to use the entire set of 18 ( Dinner plates, salad plates, small plates and bowls) on one shelf!!! I only wish they made serving dishes that match this set. Can’t recommend enough.I’m sure I would love these dishes if Amazon ever arranges for the carrier to deliver them to me.
