These are a nice size and the shape is also nice--has a smaller footprint than the round plates if you are cramped for cupboard space. They are made of the traditional thin Corelle material and are a more "shallow" plate--like the traditional Corelle plain white dishes.

If you like the square shape and want a Corelle set that is a little fancier in solid white that will dress up for formal occasions, you may want to consider the award winning Corelle Scandia White in Corelle's Ultra line. The Scandia White pattern has a fancier mold and the plates are a little deeper and thicker than this set.

The major difference in the Ultra line and this set is the Ultras are 70% thicker than the traditional Corelle and have three layers of "glass" on the finish instead of the one layer on this set--The Ultras have a glossier finish--elegant--and a little more weight. You can gather more info on the Ultra line at corelle.com

These are nice, but for the same price at Walmart, you can have the square Ultras.

I spoke with a Corelle rep on the phone and asked her about the difference between this set and the Scandia White set. She said she owns BOTH sets, but is planning to give her set like this away and only keep the new Scandia White set.

The local Walmart did not carry the Scandia White Ultra, but carries several other Ultra square patterns. They also do not identify them as Ultra, but they are Ultra.

Corelle has introduced serving pieces in the past month in the Corelle material that match this set. The matching pieces for the Scandia White pattern are made of stoneware.

This set will give YEARS of service and may be preferable for someone looking for lighter weight dinnerware. The lighter weight may be easier for children and elderly hands to carry and handle. This is a GREAT everyday pattern.

I really like the look of these square dishes. Switching from stoneware to Corelle was a good decision. They take up much less space in my kitchen and it's easier to carry a whole stack of them with my arthritic hands.

Because of their smaller size, we use the lunch plates more often than the dinner plates. But we miss having the smaller bread & butter plates, so I ordered some plain white round 6 3/4 inch plates. Disappointed that we couldn't get small square plates, but the round ones will be OK.

The 22 oz. bowls are larger than most. The slight lip on the rim helps to remove them from the microwave without getting burned. Corelle doesn't heat up like stoneware.

Also disappointed that the mugs are NOT Corelle glass, but porcelain. They feel nice in your hand but could tip easier than most mugs.

Overall I really like these dishes and would buy them again!

While I love the set...the plates are Pure White, but the cups are not. The cups are an off-white. Not an exact match.

Cups were not made out of Corelle material. They were made out of thick cheap porcelain and they were made in China but the plates were from Corelle material and they were made in USA.

I really like the style of these dishes and that is it. I haven't had the dishes for two months and I am already looking for new dishes. The dishes stick together when their placed on top of each other and stain really easily. I just feel like their not a high quality. I read other peoples reviews and thought I would be getting a good set of dishes and now I wish I could return them.

I hadn't had Corelle dinnerware for 20 years. I remembered how much I loved it when I had it and how indestructible it was. So I bought the new White Square pattern enough for 20 place settings. By the second week one dinner plate broke in the dishwasher. Then another one broke simply setting it on the table with food on it. So I called and ordered another place setting for 4. That arrived with a bowl and a dinner plate broken. I am still waiting (a month now) for replacements for the so called "unbreakable Corelle". Even if there is a guarantee, trying to get any item replaced is difficult. I wouldn't recommend Corelle dinnerware anymore. I am a very unhappy customer.

Love my set of dishes!! The mugs are small (and fairly worthless to me) but I love the whole set. If you shop around, you can usually find a better price at Walmart. Buying the entire set is far better than buying individual dishes, which was my original plan because I wanted the plates but also wanted deeper bowls. But if you find the set for under $50, it's better than buying just 4 plates and 4 saucers (which are $6 each on amazon).

Years ago I used to have Corelle dishes and marveled at the durability. I finally just got tired of the pattern and, not liking what Corelle was making at the time, moved on to other manufacturers. A 6.9 earthquake destroyed most of my current dishware, and a year later I am coming back to Corelle. Square plates!! I love this set of Pure White. I like to change the look of my table, so I have mix/matched them with a full set of Corelle's Bamboo Leaf square dishes (another winner), and with the odds and ends of my other dish patterns. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that the mugs were not the same material as the dishes and were made of porcelain.

I love Corelle products and these square white dishes are beautiful. They are safe.(unbreakable with normal use) You can use other colorful or designed dishes with them and any color or shape glasses you desire.Also any type flatware. Just play them up or down and have a beautiful table.

My daughter-in-law and her active boys love this dinnerware for its simple beauty and its durability. She wanted something light weight that the boys could handle doing kitchen chores, without sacrificing an attractive table setting. This fit the bill. Also, since the plates are fairly thin, she can easily stack place settings for 12 in a minimum of cabinet space.
