I purchased this as a replacement for a 20 year old set of Corelle dishes. Not because there was anything wrong with them, but because I was ready for a change. This is a really nice set and you can't beat the quality of Corelle. My only complaint is the lighter stripes look grey in the picture, but they are actually a light green.

I ordered four sets to replace a collection of broken and replaced items (the replaced items never really matching) accumulated over decades. Some of the mismatching replacements were by Corelle. That's where we learned two things: Corelle breaks, but requires a high level of abuse before it does. No simple chips here. Corelle either shatters, or doesn't. Mostly it doesn't. Second, Corelle really fits the dishwasher well, better than anything else I have ever used.

Ocean Arc, the set I ordered, looks nice. The grayish lines on the plates are greenish in the cups. The plates and bowels are made in the United States; the cups in China.

The plates are relatively large. The length of a side matches the diameter of a round plate. In other words, they actually hold more than their round counterparts. They all stack beautifully, taking about a quarter of the space as the same amount of stoneware.

The 12 ounce cups are taller than the standard, 10 ounce mug. They are a bit narrower at the base, and quite a bit taller. They, like the plates, are squared off, but mercifully not by much. They can be stacked two high in the cupboard. The comfortable handle was a pleasant surprise.

In short, these are good, rugged, easy to work with, daily dishes, sold at a good price.

This is my third set of Corelle and I am especially pleased with it. I purchased two sets for 8 settings. And it's true, the packaging is truly no hassle. No clamshell plastic. The dishes' design is low-key pastel and contemporary, so it'll be a while before I tire of it. The square dishes fit in the cabinets welland take up less space than the round ones because they stack nicely. The cups are actually mugs and there are no saucers, which I REALLY like. I never used saucers anyway. However, I've found the small bases on the mugs causes them to be a tip-prone if you're not careful. The salad plates are big and serve as dinner plates for the kids and those us who always watching our portion sizes. I highly recommend the set.

We all know CORELLE DINNERWARE. It's sturdy, and a piece will be lost before it breaks. This wasn't the set my wife and I originally wanted, BUT... Once again AMAZON does it right. Amazon offered this set at the time we purchased it, for less than ANY OTHER website, go ahead, check for yourself, and with free shipping to boot. Another job well done Amazon.com, thanks

I love my new "Ocean Arc" dishes! They are so pretty! They fit better in the cupboards than the round dishes do. This set replaced a Corelle set that I bought in 1981....just because I wanted new dishes after all those years! It took me a long time to decide which new pattern to buy, as there are so many pretty new square sets!
If you like blue, these are the dishes for you. This is not a 'busy' pattern, so it doesn't interfere with the presentation of the food!

This is a very attractive set. I will get a lot of use out of it. Made in ther USA, which is very important to me!

I absolutely love this set. The only issue for me was I thought the stripe was gray and it's really a green. It still looks very nice. Washes great. I'm glad I chose this to replace my dishes. I am extremely happy.

Love these dishes! Love the style, the shades of blues and grey are very nice! Also like the size of the plates, seem larger than regular plates. Maybe this is because there is no rim on the outside of the plates, so you can really put food to the edge of the plate. I thought it would be a little weird that the bowls are also square but seems to be fine. My only concern is that the mugs aren't the corelle material, they are regular stoneware which means they are breakable. Regardless, we are very happy with these dishes!

I bought these to replace chipped stoneware plates, especially since I have younger children that are ready to use "big people" plates. They are light weight but appear very sturdy. The square design provides more room on the plate and a modern look. All pieces stack well in the cabinet and fit well in the dishwasher. The arc design adds some color, but doesn't take away from food presentation. I'm very happy with this purchase.

The plates are nice, typical Correlle-ware feel. But the mugs are a slightly different material and texture. Plates are made in usa, but mugs are made in china.
