Corelle 1136756 8 Piece Country Cottage Reviews Summary

Durability

Pros:

• "They are lightweight and durable. Stack low and take up so much less space than other dishes."
• "Very durable plates. Have accidentally dropped it on the floor and hit it on the counter and it didn't chip or break."
• "They are tough and durable."
• "These are the strongest plates I have ever had, they don't break very easy at all."
• "Corelle dishes are so lightweight and last a very long time. Chip resistant."
• "They are so much more durable than your average glass dishes."
• "These plates are triple-layer strong, lightweight, and chip and crack resistant."

Cons:

• "Every one was either cracked in half or shattered."
• "I'm not sure if one of the plates came chipped or if we managed to chip it, but I'm not used to Corelle chipping easily."
• "Yesterday I dropped a plate and it shattered."
• "Day 1 of using these and 1 already has a chip in it."
• "I tried some of the new Corelle Everyday Expressions made-in-China crap, and it was poorly sized for stacking and integrating with my older Winter Frost Corelle Vitrelle dishes and also shattered easily and was just awful."
• "One of the plates was completely broken in half on arrival."
• "It’s like it’s raining splinters of glass when one of these things hits the ground."

Design & Appearance

Pros:

• "The print is vibrant and fun, and the plates themselves are the perfect size for dinner plates."
• "The frost white is crisp and modern."
• "The intricate pattern reminiscent of hand-painted tiles is timelessly beautiful and will make your meals the topic of conversation."
• "The Portofino design is so much prettier in person. The blue tones are awesome!"
• "We are big fans of Corelle dinnerware and this new Terracotta Dreams is inspired by, in Corelle's own words, by 'Antique hand crafted Mexican Tiles' and it matches the description and inspiration spot on as it definitely has an Mexican art vibe to it and it looks beautiful on your dining table!"
• "I love my Corelle dishes and this pattern is very pretty. The print is a bit raised on the plate. The blue looks great."
• "Beautiful clear white plates are classic."

Cons:

• "The blues are much lighter in person, not nearly as saturated as the picture, and the pattern is not consistent from one plate to another."
• "Some parts of the pattern also have a 'worn out' and distressed look as well."
• "The pattern has not held up to use over time. I got them in December 2021 and they are fading with time and use."
• "Only problem is the pattern is fading after only a few years which is a huge bummer."
• "The design is also much lighter and smudgy than I thought it would be."
• "From the photo I thought the design was pretty. However, when I compared them to previous corelle plates purchased years and years ago, these do not feel as well made."
• "The bad thing is they are absolutely so thin, they won't sit on the table without sliding all over the place!"

Packaging & Shipping

Pros:

• "THE PLATES WERE PACKED VERY WELL WITH CARDBOARD BETWEEN 4 PLATES AND TOP AND BOTTOM."
• "They arrive perfectly fine through shipping, not a scratch and minimal packaging."
• "The plates were delivered in perfect condition. We looked each one over and didn't find any cracks, chips or anything else that wasn't supposed to be there."
• "They were in perfect condition when they arrived."
• "Fyi, they arrived in very solid exterior packaging and unbroken."
• "The plates came securely packaged."
• "The packaging was very meticulous, with no shaking, and the box was not easy to open."

Cons:

• "This was a gift. There was a broken plate in the package. I do not want to ask the people who received it to ship it back. Can I get a replacement plate?"
• "I was pretty upset initially when I saw one of the plates was broken."
• "I just received my replacement order of Corel dished because the first set of 8 were shattered. These were also shattered."
• "One dish is chipped. Back they go."
• "Arrived not just broken but shattered-100s of little pieces under the big pieces."
• "When delivered one end of the box was opened. I assumed it was fine but when fully opened, some of the plates had clearly been used and repackaged."
• "These come packaged in a box that is just big enough for the stack of plates with zero cushioning."

Functionality & Usability

Pros:

• "They are lightweight when unloading the dishwasher, they take up less space than ceramic dishes."
• "Work well in microwave and dishwasher."
• "Dishwasher safe, microwave safe and (low heat) oven safe."
• "You can use them in the oven, microwave and dishwasher."
• "They are lightweight, they stack great in the cupboard, and you can fit a lot at once in the dishwasher."
• "They can go in the dishwasher, microwave, and still look great after many years of daily use!"
• "I use them in the dishwasher with no problem."

Cons:

• "These plates absorb heat in the microwave so you should have a dish towel or some other heat absorbing tool to help you hold these plates after microwaving."
• "The design came off after washing by hand."
• "I have washed these plates twice, one when I got them and once when I used it! The paint is gone!"
• "careful they get hot!!!"
• "Unfortunately, we hit a pothole going 2-3 MPH and they fell out of the cupboard and shattered into a million pieces."
• "Just got this set and after maybe 4 cycles in the dishwasher a plate is extremely warped."
• "Received used plates. They look used multiple times and smells food when I received."
