I've been living with dishes from the 99 cent store and thrift stores (hey, I live alone, I'm a clutz and don't want to feel bad if they break, and I use paper plates anyway...) I finally decided to get something nice since relatives are visiting (OK, I'm showing off, their kitchen looks just like mine did before this shopping trip).I've always admired Corelle, but never got any.I looked on line and found that even though the manufacturer seems permanently stuck in the 1960-70's as far as most of the designs, somebody in the company actually learned it is 2007 and designed a few pieces that look fabulous and modern.I strongly recommend that you look in the stores (although Corelle is hard to find)before you pick a pattern.I was going with Simple Lines and hadn't even considered Kobe, but when I saw and compared it was no contest!
WalMart was $49.99 for the sixteen piece set and on line and at Target, etc. same thing is $69.99 up to $85.99 (plus shipping if you get on line, plus sending anybroken pieces back, etc.)One of the boxes in the store "rattled" like some pieces were broken, and one of the cups in the two sets Ibought was nicked and I'll have to return it, but I didn't really care about the cups a lot anyway, they just came with the dishes and bowls. The dishes look and feel great and wash up PERFECT!I expect raves from my guests and am actually trying to find another pattern called Cherry Blossom that is also in the square plate style.Looks very elegant as well as casual depending on the setting/placemat.
