• "I am somewhat dismayed that one of the smaller plates already chipped and I really do handle these with care."
• "Quality is not great but just acceptable, a lot of glaze faults."
• "Poor quality-paint had flaws in it and the gloss covering the paint was not properly finished."
• "Nearly all my bowls have chips in them at this point."

Weight and Handling

Pros:

• "They have nice weight and sturdiness to them and wash well, no dings or chips."
• "The plates are sturdy and have a good weight to them."

Cons:

• "This set is twice as heavy as the other dishes by Amazon."
• "HEAVY, not like in a sterdy kind of way. Like in the could do arm curls with it way."
