Livingware Classic Café Red 16pc Set

I love, love, love these dishes! I got this set along with one plain white set (also Corelle) to mix and match for use as everyday dishes. I grew up with Corelle dishes in the 80s. Over my young adult years in apartments I accumulated various partial dish sets given to me by others and I hated how bulky and heavy they were. (Sometimes so heavy that grabbing a few plates in one hand to set the table would strain my wrist- and I am not frail and elderly) I finally decided to get something *I* liked and would truly enjoy using each day. Corelle dishes are great. They stack easily, you can fit a ton of them in cabinet or the dishwasher, and they are very manageable and lightweight, with clean, simple lines. We have been using ours since last summer and not a chip or scratch in sight. My Mom's original set lasted more than ten years with 6 active kids clanging and banging them around, so I expect these will stand the test of time as well. The bowls are the perfect size for cereal and the small plates are good for a sandwich, english muffin or toast. I use the coffee mugs every morning. I have had no quality issues with them at all. I love the red trim on this particular set, it's almost like a 1950s diner look. They mix and match well with my plain white set and they go with the red accents in my kitchen. If you are looking for an everyday dish set that is durable, stackable, lightweight, and has nice clean, classic lines, I think you will really like this set. I know they are "just dishes," but I truly get enjoyment out of using these each day.
