Amazon Basics Kitchen Dinnerware Set, Microwave and Dishwasher Safe, Plates, Bowls, Service for 6, 18-Piece, White

I was way overdue for some new dishes. All of my dishes were old and in bad shape and I broke most of my sets. I finally got around to purchasing more but hated the thought of paying so much for them, considering I needed so many. I found this set and decided to get it. I didn't need any mugs and this set includes six of each item so I thought it would be a good base set that I could slowly build upon. It would allow me to immediately have enough new dishes for a low price but then I can add to my collection on the more expensive dishes a bit at a time.This set is a great deal. The price is very low compared to others and the quality is excellent. The dishes are not light and thin; they are heavy (but not too much) and not fragile. Utensils do not scratch them. They also hold up perfectly in the dishwasher and microwave.The bowls are deep and perfect for soups and cereals. The dinner plates are a good size. The dessert plates are a bit small but are good for dessert. What I mean by that is that they aren't the type of plate you can use for a small meal. They're more for eating a sandwich on or a slice of cake (hence the title "dessert plate"). The rim of the plates takes up quite a bit of space so the actually eating surface isn't as big as it sounds by calling it a 10.5-inch plate. However, you can still pile food onto the edges to make up for it. It hardly makes a difference because the edges aren't much higher than the surface of the plate.The only flaw in these plates is that they don't stack evenly. They don't look uneven to the eye at all, but you can notice when you stack them. If you want them on display (in a glass-doored cabinet, for instance), they won't look very pretty. However, if you store them in a plate rack or in a solid door cabinet, they are just fine.These are great if you want a basic set of inexpensive dishes. They're a great starter set for building upon or for someone just starting out in a new house, dorm, or apartment.

Nice, clean set. Classic, go with everything look.

This is my second time purchasing this product, as we are adding more to our existing set. These dishes are heavy and well made. They wash easily and do not stain or scratch. They are both microwave and dishwasher safe which makes life much easier. Most people are shocked to find out they are from Amazon, as they look much more expensive than they are.

I was looking for a decent set of everyday dishes. I came across these, but was hesitant to buy because of some of the negative reviews. I took a chance, and went ahead with my purchase. I'm glad I did. I was pleasantly surprised to find that these are a perfectly serviceable set of dishes. I had none of the issues others complained about. They came undamaged. I've been using them, and so far so good.For the price, it's hard to complain. That said, there are few things I'll mention. First off, these are really solid dishes. They are thick and durable. But they are definitely not the whitest. In fact, I'd say they are more of an off white. It's not a huge deal because they still work great but they often look more gray than white in some light. I can get used to it, but something to be aware of. The other thing is the size. The dinner plate is a usable size, if not a bit small. The side plate and bowl are just a little too small. They work, but I'd love to see them about 20% larger.Beyond these minor quibbles, I have no issue recommending this set of dishes. They are a great price. If you're looking for quality china, keep looking. And for the record, I invested in a decent set of china that said "great for everyday use". Yeah, well no. They didn't hold up. This set of cheap dishes likely will.

Packaging was adequate and items arrived undamaged. Needed a set of twelve so ordered two of these. They can safely be put in the dishwasher. They are a little heavy, but that is what we wanted. The surface is smooth and shiny. I would recommend these to anyone that wants a heavier and practical set of dishes.

Fairly high quality set especially for the price. Washes and microwaves well. Overall a solid and affordable set.

Goodness I didn't realize I've had these dishes for almost four years. Only one bowl has broken so far, but all of them have been dropped on the counter and floor. No chips and scratches dont show either. They're medium weight, true to color, and completely stain resistant.
