We purchased this set after a lot of research. Since we have young children we wanted something durable. So we looked into Corelle. We weren't thrilled with the way Corelle is so thin but discovered their Ultra series. It is very nice and hardly seems like Corelle. It definitely has more of an earthenware look and weight to it. Some of their other styles that are not Ultra are attractive but I just don't like how they are so thin. We are very pleased with this set. We enjoy it more than we thought we would and it already withstood my son dropping a dish!

We recently bought three sets of these, plus some accessories. We love the pattern, it is simple yet pretty, and the neutral colors match most decor well. The accessories are also very nice, as they are stoneware, rather than corelle glass. I do wish the bowls were a little deeper for cereal or ice cream. Also, some of the accessories listed at corelle.com are not yet available anywhere, though I would expect to see them for sale soon.

I grew up with original Corelle dishes, and even though they are almost break-proof and stain-proof, I never liked the weight, feel and look of them. When I heard Corelle came out with their "Ultra" line, that are 70% thicker than original Corelle, I knew I had to have a set. I ordered two sets of the "Autumn in Hanover" pattern and they are wonderful. They do not look or feel like Corelle. They are the perfect weight and with two children, I don't have to worry about broken dishes anymore! They also stack up much nicer in my dishwasher then my old stoneware dishes, and they are easier to clean because the surface is smoother. Amazon.com had the best price I could find online, about $20.00 lower than other websites that carry the same dishes.

I got this pattern in various piecemeal pieces last year. I love the weight, love the look, and love how easy they are to clean. I also found a solution to the lack of cereal/ice cream bowls. The nearby outlet has a "hybrid" section of dishes that are the open stock plain dishes. They are mixes of the sandstone and the white, which matches the eggshell color of the Autumn in Hanover dishes as well as if they were made for it. We do use the regular bowls more for the kids as I originally thought, because the higher edge on the bowl/plate means easier eating for two and and less mess!!
To end this-- I love them more than I thought I would!! I do wish they would come out with more patterns, though. I like variety...
