The finish is poor quality in my opinion. The plates and bowls are nice on top, but the bottom is not smooth like the top. Even my Walmart dish set has the same finish on top and bottom. The cups are really poor quality. The feel and look bad with seems and a rough feel. They are also quite small. I'm not tall or heavy and my fingers don't have much room to spare in the handle. The bowls are really big and quite shallow. Great for a salad, but not for breakfast cereal, etc.Unfortunately, we bought two 6 service sets. We'll buy plain white bowls and mugs for cereal and to have a nicer set of mugs. Disappointed!!!In you get them, note the top of the Styrofoam box sticks to the wrap that's around the big plates. The two halves do not want to separate. This was the case on both sets we bought. The styrofoam breaks before the halves come apart. I thought they were taped together, but not so.These plates are a bit thicker than they appear and yet very light weight. Great in the microwave too.These are elegant yet affordable and I love the soup plates!These are my new dinner dishes. I just wish that they weren’t so heavy.El producto estaba Linda pero no tenia calidad y se rayaron al Tercer o o cuarto Dia yo lo retorneThe wording is misleading. You see the word "glass" and think you are getting tempered opal glass dinnerware. Then in the description it clearly states that this is porcelain dinnerware. Maybe that is the reason why one reviewer complained that it's heavy, while another stated the pattern was coming off. Neither of these things should happen with tempered opal pure glass dinnerware. I know because I was a long time Corelle user, looking for tempered glass dinnerware in the perfect configuration at a reasonable price. Wayfair has this design in both glass and porcelain, with the porcelain set selling for a lower price. I hope you do not purchase the porcelain set from here for the price of tempered opal glass.After looking for a long time, I finally found this plate set which is not very heavy, with anti-slip bottom and beautiful pattern. It can also be filled with soup when loading vegetables. It is very easy to use, we order plates and it was good for normal meals but the good thing was it came with small, medium and large plates as small can be used for dessert, Medium used for normal meals and large for steak dinners. I would 100% recommend it to you.I am really pleased with this item. I haven't marked on durability as I haven't had them long enough to comment. I have only given 4 stars as there were no cereal bowls and I had to order those separately. I know it's a personal choice but I couldn't see the point of soup plates and mine are now in the cupboard. It would be nice if you had the choice of soup plates or cereal bowls.The set in Opal Glass arrived the day after ordering, well packed and all the glasses were wrapped and safe. I started using them the next day - around 18th of august. As for today the decorations are falling apart gradually while using them. Such a disappointment as plates are very nice white colour, lightweight as I wanted and they match with every table settings. They are also the right size for us. See pictures attached. I used them in dishwasher but never in a microwave.Bought Spark, 60-Piece Dinner Set Ivory White. Looks nice on picture advertised,not too good on reality.Quick delivery,good packing,poor quality.From 60 items 23 was scratched,dented,stained with paint as you see in the pictures.Colour is not white more like a grey.Cups too small.Contacted customer service and they told me will refund 10£ only and keep the product or give to someone else as present because return is :"Considering the return it is too trouble for you" as they said.Yes the return is trouble for me.Not impressed for a 100£ set.Poor quality.I do not recommendThese plates can’t withstand heat and shatter easily when exposed to heat. I have had one of the large plates shatter when simply placing a freshly cooked steak upon it and 2 of the small plates suffered similar fates. I’m now not even using the soup bowls for fear of hot soup going everywhere. Do not buy these as they are not safe .
