Many years ago, when Corelle first came out, I had small children, and my sister gave me a gift of Corelle for Thanksgiving. It was wonderful because the children had broken so many plates and cups prior to this durable gift. Through the years, and many moves, I have used ordinary dinnerware. But now, remembering the good quality and other features of Corelle, I decided to rid myself of all the old, heavy dishes and get a small set of dinnerware just for me. I have arthritis in my hands, and the lightness of Corelle is perfect for me. Of course I love the retro look from diners of yore that I ate in as a young woman. Great buy!!

Great for someone just starting out. Far superior to the extremely cheap Wal-Mart/Target dishes. Very durable, very inexpensive, and the set looks fine.

Picked out by my daughter for her first apartment and what a terrific deal on Amazon. Dishes arrived well packed and in perfect condition. She is very pleased

I got 2 of these sets and have been very pleased with them. Not a single piece arrived broken or chipped, which is what I was the most worried about after reading other users reviews. The mugs are stoneware, so I'm curious to see how long they last. My plate set before purchasing this was stoneware and they were full of chips.

Update (11/19/2010): After owning 2 of these sets for almost 3 years I can say that nothing has broken or chipped (including the stoneware mugs). Great purchase.

The dishes are nice quality.. main plates are good size but the bread dish and bowl are smaller than previous Corelle dishes. I took pictures to compare the old size and new. The new bowls are sitting inside the older ones. The only other problem is that instead of the cups being make as Corelle, they're stoneware from china. I see quite a few people have commented about this. You even see quite a few of the cup sets on Ebay, which tells you people generally aren't happy buying Corelleware and getting cups from China not made of Corelleware. But for the price it's a good set. I just don't know why they made changes to an already good set and design.

I've had Corelle Dinnerware dating back to sometime in the 1970s and I've loved everything about it. It's everything the descriptions say it is, very lightweight which makes it easy to carry to and from kitchen to Dining Room, or outdoors, and it always looks good. The new designs are interesting, although some are a bit too busy for my tastes, but I really like the Classic Cafe Black Corelle Livingware 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4, Classic Caf¿ Black. I purchased two sets to have a service for 8 and I'm seriously thinking of purchasing another two sets. I've received many compliments since I got these and am proud to set a formal dinner table as well as a picnic table with these dishes. Thank you Amazon.com for the quick, easy and reliable service.

We have more than enough dinnerware at our house but it is very heavy for someone like me who suffers with rheumatoid arthritis. I decided to try the Corelle Livingware Dinnerware Set. It fits my needs perfectly - light weight, sturdy and attractive. Not real fancy but very practical.

so far they seem to be very durable for glass plates....dropped several times and no breakage yet....if you are looking for something light weight and durable I would recomend these.

THIS SET IS JUST PERFECT FOR DAILY USE. WITH A BASIC PRINT THAT GOES WITH EVERYTHING AND CORRELLES LIGHT WEIGHT DESIGN, THIS SET IS JUST RIGHT FOR MYSELF AND 3 KIDS!! EASY TO CARRY, EASY TO CLEAN AND EASY TO STORE!!! I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS OR ANY OF THE OTHER CORRELLE PRODUCT JUST FOR THEIR LIGHT WEIGHT DESIGN IN COMPARISION TO REGULAR CHINA.

Great for everyday uses. The plates and bowls are relatively thin, however that makes them easy to get from the dishwasher to the shelf. They also take up less space than stoneware plates.

The slick surface cleans very easily.
