I was impressed with the durability and beauty of this product. The pattern is elegant enough for formal dinner parties and the dishes are sturdy enough for every day use. The fact that it's dishwasher safe is a huge benefit- no chipping or pattern fade to worry about.

I was so disappointed to receive this item broken on the initial shipment - then when it was shipped the second time, it was broken also. Whoever packaged it for shipping did not pack it properly - just threw it in a box and sent it on it's way. Then the thing that really bothered me - they informed me they couldn't provide a replacement. It was a gift, and the person was really disappointed. (this was three weeks later)

We looked at a lot of china as we were creating our wedding registry and this Mikasa set really caught our eye. It isn't gaudy or shiny or any of those things that you wouldn't want your guests to think about on the rare occasion that you actually eat on this stuff. The packaging was fine and we even lucked out and were able to get a great deal on some of the larger multi-packs at a department store. Right now all of the sets we have are just sitting in boxes packed away in a basement, but once we finally have a china cabinet to display these in we know they're going to look great. Maybe one day we'll even eat a meal on them!

they make dull food look great. they make horrible coffee look great. they even made disgusting salads look great.

they do not affect the taste of your food at all, and they do not clash with your clothes. They are white, with a bit of silver (or platinum) or something.

I received 10 place settings of this pattern and several serving dishes for wedding gifts. They look beautiful and have not chipped or had the platinum rim wear off after 2 years. My husband and I make a tradition of cooking a nice dinner together and eating on our china once a week so we use it more than most people would and it has held up beautifully. The bottom of the dishes say they are dishwasher safe but I hand wash mine and I think that is part of why the silver rims have held up so well after frequent use.

I absolutely love this set. I'm pretty particular about what I purchase & looked long and hard until I found what I wanted. I've used it several times, had no problems with the shipping like the other reviewer & it's still in mint condition. Every time I pull it out I get compliments on it. It's great quality at a great price.
