I just received the sets I ordered and am more than pleased. From the picture, I expected them to be a slightly darker shade of beige, but am happy to report the color matches the background color of many other Corelle patterns... not quite white, not quite beige. The solid color is elegant and neutral -- the better to show off culinary delights, or perhaps a beautiful tablecloth or centerpiece.

After half a century of living, the little things mean a lot to me. I appreciate Corelle's durability, reasonable price, ease of cleaning and forgiving properties. It also stacks nicely in a minimum of space, unlike heavy stoneware pieces. If a piece does eventually get broken it's not a big deal.... after all, I've never had a piece break during the first four or five years of use and I'm the Queen of Klutziness. I've found Corelle dinnerware to be very lightweight (a plus for those of us with arthritis) and forgiving (a plus for those of us who are dexterity-challenged) and extremely durable (a real plus during the "hurricane hour" before work and school, or when the kids gather at our house for a snack). I can stack three sets (12 place settings) in a minimum of cabinet space, and it's a breeze to load them in the dishwasher because they are very lightweight. I really like the mugs that come with this set, as they are heavier and the coffee stays hot longer than with some mugs. I have noticed in the past that the Corelle mugs have outlasted every other mug we purchased.

I did consider buying chinaware this time around.... for about a minute. I have seen so many "fine china" (partial) sets over the years -- usually covered with scratches and stains, sporting chips, nicks and flea bites. I suppose someone felt they couldn't throw them away because they were so expensive and "valuable." It amazes me that some people would spend up to several hundred dollars for china dinnerware... in fact, up to several hundered dollars per place setting. Yes, way.

Luxury comes in degrees, and is all relative. To most people in this world, Corelle dinnerware would likely seem quite luxurious, and I feel blessed to be able to afford it, and I'm thankful for the freedom and value it provides me, and the cleanup time it saves me every day, 365 days a year.

My husband bought two sets of these the other day and I love them! With kids and ceramic tile, I've been stuck with melamine for more than 10 years. These are simple and classy and have a great mug. The color is beautiful and will go with any tablecloth or silverware I decide to put with it. The color may be the inspiration for new tile on the countertop. I've already bid on and won the serving platter and serving bowls. I'm waiting to see if I win 8 pasta/salad bowls and am considering bidding on a creamer and sugar and a butter dish. Can you tell I'm sold?

This one is a perfect mix and match for any set that has beige background. Simple but elegant. One thing to know, the mug was a stoneware meaning it is not chip resistant.

I'm quite surprised that Amazon sells such heavy products for such good prices. Corelles are all very nice but this one (or any of the whites) are particularly good for everyday use - cheap and unobtrusive. They're far superior to porcelain or stoneware because they're lighter, less breakable, microwave/oven safe and highly stackable.

However, one of the plates arrived broken in my shipment. Given Amazon's high standard of packaging and the "unbreakable" reputation of the Corelle line, this suggests poor packaging by Corning. Return was not a problem, but just be aware that this can be a problem.

I was trying to find some plates that would be light enough for my kids to get out of the cupboard and if they dropped one it wouldnt break. These are perfect. And they look dressy enough that they can be used on any occassion. I love them. And the best part was that they arrived the very next day. Thanks Amazon, I will definitely shop here again!!!!!!!!!

Ordered several sets for everyday use and for casual dinner parties. They are a nice color, plain and simple with no designs. This does a nice job in the presentation and detail of the meal. Like the coffee cups especially, they are perfect for the coffee lover who loves to chat after dinner. Not To Big/Not To Small! Everything fits well in the dishwasher. Great set of dishes. Won't go wrong with this set.

This is one of the single best purchases I've made from Amazon. However, folks should be made aware that the mugs are stoneware and the color isn't an exact match to the dishes.

The Sandstone color is gorgeous and a very classy neutral. These dishes match anything and everything. I plan to coordinate them with my Johnson Brothers Friendly Village around the holidays and they look great together! Great, extra dishes when you have more guests than a matching pattern of dishes.

I take mine out on the deck and use them on a steel grate table. No chips to speak of. These dishes can go anywhere in the dishwasher (top or bottom rack) and no fears of hormone-emitting plastic. These dishes are made from glass and do not interfere with your food or your thyroid. They come with a nice warranty and they are Made in the USA! Yeah! I have also purchased the matching platter and larger bowls. I coordinate them with my other outdoor plates and it always mixes and matches quite well. By the way, the small salad plates that come with this are the perfect size for birthday cake and so lightweight. They are my go-to birthday cake plates.

One last thing is that these take up no room in your cupboard. They stack up perfectly! You will love these dishes!

Arrived quickly - less than a week, with no damage. Really like the color a lot. Couldn't decide between white, a pattern of some kind or these. These are better looking than I expected. The mugs aren't glassware like the plates and bowls are (they're stoneware), but they have a great shape, medium weight, great handles and the color matches almost perfectly. All in all a great set and I'd recommend it.

I had always wanted a set of Corelle dishes, but they were always too pricey for me. However, since my family started doing "zero waste" parties, etc., I needed to get some dishes which were lightweight, easy to clean and could stack easily in the dishwasher and the cupboard. No more paper plates or plastic for us! I purchased five sets of these dishes as the price was the best I'd ever seen. I LOVE them. I really, really, love them. I have a full set of 20 dinner plates, bowls, and small plates stacked in a very tiny space. They clean up sooo easily, plus I can run the dishwasher less since I can fit in so much more. Not only that, the dishes are quite simple and elegant. I was also very pleased with Amazon, because when two of the sets came damaged, they sent out two replacement sets very quickly and with no hassle. This is the first review I've ever written on Amazon despite being a years-long Amazon consumer. But, hey, that's how much I love those dishes!

If you are not used to corelle you should know it is much lighter/thinner than ceramic, so you will be able to feel the difference. However I find it to be great for everyday...doesn't stain, doesn't break, not fancy but looks nice. This pattern is a light beige color will match pretty much anything.
