When I ordered these bowls they were 19.99 I see they have gone up as of 10/7/08 , even so they are a good investment. The bowls are a good weight ( not your Nana's mixing bowl set ) , the colors are really pretty . They say they are dishwasher safe but I wouldn't , I don't want to damage them. They are also not microwave safe.

I would also not use them for storage they have Melmac in them which is the same toxin causing the babies in China to be come ill , I would over time wonder about long term food storage and leeching of the toxin. That said for mixing they should be fine , its not like your eating the toxin , all plastics etc have toxins in them you just don't eat them.

The only thing I dislike is how much each bowl can hold is not marked on the bowl , it is however on the box. My husband cut it out and we scanned it into the computer for safe keeping.

All in all I think this was a worthy purchase.

Well Martha and her 2,000 products scores big with me. I like the feel and weight of these bowls, they do not feel like your average department store prep bowls. The colours will work well in most kitchens, even the red is an opportunity to give you a bit of a bang. But I love the muted colours the most,

As I said they have enough weight so you are not afraid of them falling a part on you if you have to whip up some cream, by hand, in them. Also you can throw a fruit or vegetable salad in them and take them to the picnic table.

By the way do not forget to try Martha's small prep bowls. My daughter who is getting into this baking desert on Sunday is delighted with them.

These bowls are great. They are very sturdy for mixing things in them and they are pretty enough to set food out in them. They wash easily and I just love them.

I bought the bowls directly from Macy's. When I opened them, there was a warning on the bottom of each bowl not to use in the microwave. This was not mentioned on the box - only that they are "versatile". Not very versatile to me. Other than that, they are pretty and nice sizes. I will just have to warn the other family members not to use them in the microwave, and hope they remember.

I received these as a gift and I love them! They are much lighter and more durable than the ceramic set I was using before and the colors are much nicer. They do great in the dishwasher and they seem practically indestructible.

I had these bowls sent to me and they arrived with the largest one broken. I sent them back and they were reshipped to me, and they arrived again, broken. I finally gave up and had Macy's refund me, but they refused to refund the shipping and handling, which was roughly $7. 3 months have elapsed and I've lost money and still have no bowls! Such a disappointment. I will not shop with Macy's again.

I've seen these bowls for the same price at Target - do the legwork! Bring home unbroken bowls!

I like the brights colors of these bowls. I am annoyed that the least prettiest colored bowls are the ones that fit most needs. Also, food splatters out when mixing because bowls are wide rather than deep. I like using the red bowl for serving large salads or potato chips on holidays. I guess the light weight is convenient, but I am getting concerned about the high use of plastics. I bought these two years ago and am on here again looking for another set. I guess that tells you how satisfied I am. I paid the high price too. I am getting either pretty ceramic or stoneware bowls for sure. I will see how I feel about the weight of them. I will keep these for some uses.

GREAT set of bowls. Colorful, durable and convenient. Really nice selection of sizes, too. Ignore the fact that it has Martha Stewart's name on it; there's nothing wrong with these bowls.

My largest bowl also arrived broken. Unfortunately, I didn't notice it before I had already thrown out the box and now can't return them.

Normally, I would just assume bad luck and give this a slightly higher rating. However, given that someone else had this same issue - twice - I have to assume there is some defect with these bowls. BTW, the shipping container and packing box were in excellent condition, so hard to blame this on abuse in transit. This certainly doesn't bode well for long-term reliability, either.

If there weren't issues with breakage, I would probably lean towards three stars. Bowls feel solid,but they don't have non-slip bottoms, which would be helpful for mixing. Also, the colors are a mixed-bag - some are nice others are pretty ugly.

Who would have thought that it would be so difficult to find a decent set of stacking mixing bowls?

These bowls are perfect and durable. The colors are bright and fun and there is a size for every need!
