We use these plates where I work and they are awesome. I work in an assisted living facility and these dishes are used in the Alzheimer's area. Things in that area have to be durable and for the price most of the people who live there are playing, they have to be classy. Fiesta makes both of those possible.

I don't know how many times these plates have fallen to the floor, but very few end up broken. Though they are a bit costly, you wouldn't have to spend a lot of money replacing them or time looking for a matching color or pattern.

When I was first married 28 years ago and registering housewares preferences at the local department store, my father teased me about choosing fine china and what he called "throwing china", the everyday stuff. Well, if anybody every throws Fiestaware at you, duck! Good, strong, sturdy stuff.

I have had better luck buying the open stock pieces than buying sets -- the glaze in some of the plates in sets has been flawed. I get both cobalt and periwinkle, and have found that the cobalt shows flaws more readily than the lighter color.

Collecting two colors is fun. There are some colors that I just don't want to eat off of, but blue makes everything look tasty. Cobalt seems to present food more dramatically, but periwinkle makes for a nice "blue plate special" too.

I bought these plates and thing that they are great. I really wish that I wouldn't have bought the cheaper look-a-likes before I bought these.

I like the pastel color and how it coordinates with the other Fiesta colors.

These plates are also very durable. I've broken several of the look-a-likes just from normal around the home accidents, but the Fiesta is holding steady.

Don't waste your time or money looking at all the different dishes. Go with Fiesta!

I have collected Fiestaware dishes for almost five years now. I like Fiesta because the lines and the design of the plates are so classic. These dishes are very heavy compared to most other stoneware, and they are not prone to brakeage in normal every day use. You use the microwave with these dishes. Fiestaware also compliments their dishes with all sorts of serving pieces, flatware, glasses, napkin holders, and so much more. If you are looking to build up a nice collection of dishes that won't go out of style, you have found what you are looking for.

I have used the same Fiesta Ware for the last 12 years and I have not broken a piece yet! Even when my 2 teenage boys were babies, and doing dishes, a piece may have slipped out of their hands, but nothing was ever broken. This shows how durable the Fiesta Ware really is. I would highly recommend Fiesta Ware to everyone of all ages. I own 3-20 piece settings at the present time and plan on expanding. I like the fact that you can collect all different colors and it looks great! I will be ordering more for when my 2 boys go to college. I plan on ordering my mother a 20 piece set for her birthday. I love it and I know you would toooo!

I always loved the original Fiestaware that my Grandma had.I was very happy when the new line came out.I purchased my first placesettings at least 8 years ago and they are wonderful! They take a lot of abuse as we don't have a dishwasher and not one has broken or cracked. My sister had bought Pfaltzgraff at the same time and has since replaced them all as they cracked,chipped and discolored.I am still buying additions to my sets. Now my kids are buying it for themselves. Great stuff!

You just can't go wrong with Fiestaware. It's sturdy, durable, attractive, cleans up easily (from table to dishwasher to cabinet). And if my rough-on-dishes family can't break it, no one can!

I work in an assisted living facility and we use Fiestaware in the Alzheimer's area. These dinner plates are great because you have room for a main dish and two side dishes as well as a dinner roll. With being used in an Alzheimer's area, these plates are occassionally abused. I have seen the accidently dropped and I have seem the purposely pushed off of the table. In either case, the plate didn't break. Though they were a little pricey (and we even get a deal because we buy in large quantities), they are worth it. Ours seem to last forever. They get used for all 3 meals, plus snacks. And, if we need it, these plates have double and mini serving platters.

I recently bought the 4-pc place settings (plum) and LOVE these!!
I was very impressed with the fact that they survived shipping during the holiday season!

No matter what lovely color you choose, these dinner plates are a wonderful addition to any table. Classy and never flashy, the solid colors are very easy to accessorize with. Even though these plates are china, they are very tough and durable. Mix and match with other dishes in the Fiestaware line and add some excitement to everyday dining!
