I searched long and hard for a set of sturdy, white everyday dishes that weren't going to chip, crack and dull. When I found these, my heart skipped a beat. I spent the next month saying no to myself, that they were a little more than my original spendable amount. Then I woke up one morning realizing I couldn't get them out of my mind, and decided life was too short! They arrived and I was even more thrilled in person. perfect weight, not too bulky but not too fragile. Only problem - the mugs were missing from the box! Great Offer Stock Customer Support went in to overdrive to try to locate them for me, but when they couldn't - they were unbelievably generous to make it right! So I guess this review is more about their customer service than the dishes themselves. I am absolutely thrilled with both of them!!!
