The tree is simple and beautiful. The best style I have ever seen.

The mugs far exceeded my expectations. Here's why:
I have a child who likes to help with dishes, so things get bumped sometimes. Over the years I have tried earthenware, stoneware, porcelain, tempered glass and PYREX (borosilicate glass).
Earthenware is porous. The colors will fade or chip. Since it is fired at a low temperature, it is not very strong. Not always microwave or dishwasher safe. I am never using earthenware again.
Stoneware normally looks great on the outside. Since it is not as dense as porcelain, overtime the inside of the mugs (or the outside of the dishes) tend to loose its shine and will crack if bumped. Not always microwavable.
Porcelain is the most beautiful and long lasting if handled carefully, but may crack or break if bumped. Microwavable and dishwasher safe.
Nicely designed tempered glass looks great and is heat and break-resistent and microwavable. However, the choices are so limited.
PYREX, oh, I wish they will break more easily, because they look so bad (just like test tubes) that I don't want them anymore.

These Bodum mugs are made of HEAVY porcelain. So they have the shine of porcelain (and very slight translucency at the rims under the sun). And yes, we bumped them several times. They are study.

An added bonus is that those mugs are just perfect for the Senseo machine, better than Senseo supplied thermos. A frothing cup of coffee in a heavy white porcelain mug is just the thing for mornings.

This is a nice set. Mugs are a good size and weight.
Not dinky little tea cups. Takes up a minimal amount
of space on the counter and looks good.

The cups are heavy and huge. The cup stand is beautiful. The cups are brittle and break easily.

Great, great, great! They are a very sturdy mug and look just lovely on the counter top! A must have for the coffee/tea drinker!

Looks nice, space efficient. Keep it right next to your coffee maker or on your breakfast table. Black is the best color for coffee mugs since stains don't show. However, these particular mugs tend to get white stains on them from the dishwasher detergent. It could just be my detergent. Otherwise the mugs are sturdy, but kind of small (European style).

My husband bought me these for Christmas and I love them. The cups are thick.. feel like a restaurant cups, and the tree is very decorative. I love the way they look and feel. We use them every single morning for our coffee.

This was the perfect size and shape for my morning cup of coffee. The stand makes it convenient to have them next to my coffee maker. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

This mug tree arrived in perfect condition and is very good quality for the price. It assembles easily and looks good on the counter (saves cupboard space, too!). I like the sleek design--just white and silver. It would work well with modern decor or really any other type of decor. I also like the way it is packaged. It's a good looking box and would make a nice presentation for a house-warming or other gift. Better order two sets--one for yourself one one to keep on hand for a beautiful gift.

a perfect addition for any kitchen--attractive and functional--shipped quickly and arrived intact--the price was very competative

Although I'm not using the cups that came with the set, the mug tree looks very nice against my white/black color scheme. It is sturdy and easy to clean.
