At first I was concerned that the pattern was a decal, but read on the box that it was painted and fired. The pattern felt and appeared chalky, however was quite beautiful after being washed in the dishwasher and even better the second time. I love them.

My husband has been after me to replace our nice, but chipped dishes for quite a while now (I got them for our wedding and still loved them after 30 years) and I had been putting it off... I finally bought the Corelle dishes in the Summer Meadow pattern since they are known to be chip resistant and I wouldn't have to worry about the grandkids as much.I expected them to feel a little "cheap" because they were so light weight and was hoping they wouldn't look too "granny". But I wanted the additional bowls since we use them a lot and didn't want to spend a fortune on dishes right now.

After having them for several weeks now, I admit I like them very much. I actually counted them to make sure there was really 12 in the stack (because they took so little room in the cupboard) and it is much easier to wash and care for them. The colors are more subtle and much prettier in "person" than the photo.

I wish there were more accessory pieces - but I purchased Corelle plain bowls and platters in white - and found the Noritake Colorwave in Sky is the perfect soft blue and matches it amazingly well - so there were the salt/pepper/creamer/butter,gravy etc to match. (Unfortunately the color has been discontinued by Noritake so get them quick while the bargains are there and they are still available).

My husband likes them also so it was a good purchase. Since then, my sister ordered a set in a different pattern is also happy with hers. Chip free, practical and pretty is a good thing!

These dishes were purchased as a Christmas present for my mom-in-law. We had looked at them at an outlet store but knew ordering on line was the way to go with free shipping. She has had Corelle dishes for years but just the plain white ones. She is very happy with her new pretty floral pattern. I don't think you could ask for a better product. They are light weight, stack in limited cupboard space, very rarely chip, stains clean up easily with baking soda, fit nicely in the dishwasher and come in a wide variety of patterns. My Mom has also used Corelle for years and so have I and my two sisters. I've even given them to my son since graduating from college to set up his own housekeeping.

I already had a 20-piece set in this pattern from another store, but I wanted 8 servings so I ordered a second set. I've had my original set for more than 6 months and it's durable and very pretty. This set did not come in the original packaging like the other set I ordered - it was packed in plain brown cardboard. It was, however, well-packed and everything made it in one piece.

As other reviewers noted, this item doesn't match the product description. There are 4 dinner plates, 4 small plates, 4 cereal bowls, 4 small dessert bowls, and 4 stoneware mugs. For whatever reason, this new set came with 5 dessert bowls, which works out well because the blue trim on one doesn't look quite right.

I thought these would be mediocre when I purchased them for my mother - but she LOVED them. She kept going on and on about how pretty the print was. They are good quality and look nice, not tacky!

I bought these for my winter place in Florida and I love them, so I bought another set, and will probably buy another. What's great about this set is that it comes with two size bowls and not the useless saucer that come with most of the other 20pc sets. No negatives as far as I am concerned!!

I've just received this set and wished I had listen to the feedback on the quality of the design print.
The design on the plates are definately not handpainted. It is a printed design. The print is VERY very bad. The whole flower design had a fuzzy border all around it. When I look at it, the fuzzy flowers gives me a headache. It is also true that the printed design makes the surface of the plate bumpy.

Pro: unbreakable, scratch-resistant
Con: print is rough and produces a screech sound when scratched

The product has a beautiful print. It is soothing with cool colors. The print is not overwhelming. I wish that I would have felt the product. The white part is smooth whereas the print is rough. If you were to run your fork across the white portion of the dishes, it will run smoothly, but if you were to run your fork across the print, it will produce a screech sound that is quite irritating. Overall, the product is well designed but it would have been better if the whole dish was glazed just like the white part is.

We bought 2 sets of this when we bought our house over 3 years ago. I very quickly browsed through the reviews and noticed there was debate over whether the design would last. I can tell you that the design is going nowhere! These are our everday dishes, going thru the dishwasher (extra hot cycle,) hand scrubbing dried-on foods, banged around, microwaved, baked and anything else you can do with dishes, and they handle everything beautifully- after all, it is Corelle! It's lightweight, and a breeze to handwash. I always dreaded handwashing the heavy ceramic baking pan we have, so I went out and bought 6 different sized Corelle baking pans. You will not regret buying these dishes...only don't buy too many- I don't want everyone having the same pattern as I do!

Very good for the price. Size and weight do not seem as substantial as Corelle dinnerware purchased years ago.
