If it was just the picture on the website, I might think it was just my computer screen. However, the box also shows a very bright blue mug and the colors in the plate too. When the box is opened, I found a lighter blue...not primary bright blue, more like a Williamsburg Blue. It is still pretty but not what I really wanted. The other colors are the same way...pictured as very bright but muted out of the box.

Another deceptive thing to note on the picture. It appears that the smaller plate is almost as big as the dinner plate. It is described as a salad plate...it is a bread and butter sized plate. I am not impressed with that. That being said the detailed description does state the correct dimensions of that plate. In a typical family-style dinner I really have no use for it. I would like a larger salad plate that is just the right size for the kids.

As others posted, I too wish the Memphis pattern would also be on the other complementary tableware. Lighter color issues aside I do like the pattern. I would only suggest that when one makes a purchase you realize the picture is only slightly deceptive.

I do like the Corelle name of products. With my kids learning how to set a table, I need something a little more durable. This will do nicely until they are old enough to be able to deal with china.

Pieces are thin and fit easily in dishwasher - jets can reach all surfaces, even bowls stacked next to each other in rack. If dropped, they stand a chance of survival. Great value and I dig the pattern.

In CR we celebrate Mother's Day on August 15th.

My mother wanted to have Corelle dinnerware in her beach house, mainly for being safe and light-weighted for her grandchildren to handle.
You can imagine little wet hands and feet in the kitchen looking for something to eat and taking plates full of fruits and cookies.
She is delighted with the pattern too.

This item was purchased as a Christmas gift for our daughter. She likes primary colors, so this pattern was a real hit. She is already using the dinnerware and is thrilled with it. Both the price and quick delivery were a plus with Amazon.

I have owned Corelle dinnerware for over 20 years. It has served our family well, but a few of the pieces chipped or were broken over the years. Since we needed a larger set for our growing family, I purchased three of these sets to replace my old pieces. I was tired of my old floral pattern and wanted something festive for our kids so I decided to try this pattern. The previous reviewers were right in that the colors are much more muted than they appear in the photos, but I still think it's a nice choice. I was also a bit surprised that the mugs are stoneware, but after getting over the surprise, I'm actually very delighted with them. They have a nice weight and feel to them, and I like them much more than my old Vitrelle cups. I would have been thrilled if they came in red. We'll see how long they last with my kids. I only wish that the luncheon sized plates were included. I ended up ordering them separately and now have all the pieces I need.

The small plates are much smaller that I had anticipated and therefore almost useless for anything other than a large cookie.

As many other reviews mentioned the salad plates are too small, the mugs are heavy, and the colors are very muted. But, my biggest problem is how hot the dishes get. Serve a soup or stew and you'll need hot pads handy.

We bought these as a take-along for when we rent vacation homes and for that purpose they work ok, but I'd not be happy to use them very frequently.

Very happy with the Corelle livingware set. Light weight, durable and I really like the mugs that hold 11 ozs and are pretty too!
Only complaint is that I would like the larger plates. This set comes with the dinner plates and the 6 inch plates. I believe the 8 inch plates are available for seperate purchase, however.

Corelle products are great! I chose this set for it's known durability, lightweight, and simple design. The only negative thing I would say about this set is that the cups/mugs are no longer made of Vitrelle.

I love the Correlle dinnerware I ordered. It's exactly what I needed. All the products are durable (I've dropped a plate and nothing happened). The only problem I realy had was the coloring of the dishes. They look brighter in the picture but are actually a bit softer, almost faded looking. The colors are still very pretty all together.
