We bought two sets of these Corelle dishes a few years ago. I just loved them because the color was neutral and they just don't break. We moved into a new house and we will be doing a lot more entertaining, so we bought another set. Amazon offers them for an excellent price and the size of the bowls are just perfect. They match exactly with our old ones and you cannot tell the difference.

I researched dinnerware for months (!) and decided on Corelle...and I am SO glad I did. I ordered three sets and they arrived in perfect condition, are light as a feather and stack so well I actually bought a shelf device for the cupboard and got double the space as a result. The main reason I wanted Corelle was I got fed up with burning my fingers on dishes and bowls from the microwave. This dinnerware lets the food heat up but is only hot where the food or liquids actually are, so the edges where you pick up are cool to the touch. Yes! The cups in the set are stoneware, unlike the rest of the set, but this is no problem. They match perfectly and I guess there's a reason they had to make them stoneware (they heat up great too).

I had read a couple of other reviews of this item stating that the first shipment wasn't packed well, resulting in damaged goods. That happened with my first shipment, too. I found the box on my doorstep, having been left by the carrier. When I picked it up, the broken glass could be heard and felt rolling around in the package. Amazon.com made it right though, and the second shipment was in perfect condition. The dishes go with anything, fit well into the dishwasher (one of my many complaints about the more expensive stoneware I've been using) and are very attractive. I would have given the product 5 stars, but the mugs are stoneware, made in CHINA. The same kind of mugs could be had at a "dollar store" for...well...a dollar. This is a return to Corelle for me, having used it for many years, and thinking I needed to "upgrade" to nicer dishes. No more. I'm sticking with Corelle from now on...

This wasn't exactly what I expected, and yes--the mugs are different from the other items. The bowls are a bit small--not good for soup or cereal really. But for the price, they are great. I was thankful the few times I dropped a dish and it just bounced on the floor. These are offwhite, more cream colored than pictured here.

I ordered these for my son and he likes the light-weightness of them. I also like the durabilty. You can't go wrong with Corelle.
