I bought this to replace a set of Corelle dinnerware we've had over 15 years.The old set start getting gray and streaky as if the years of utensils against the surface in daily use finally took a toll.When I decided to replace that set, I had no doubt that it would be with another set of Corelle.It is lightweight, dishwasher and microwave safe, is thin enough to not stack too high in the cabinet, and it stays nice looking even with heavy use. This set arrived well packed, the Corelle box and bubble packing inside another box, and everything was intact.The plates are really big!We will probably end up using the lunch plates as dinner plates sometimes.The bowls also have a very large capacity, easily two cups.
One main difference between this set and my old one is the coffee cups are not the same material as the dishes... they used to be made of the same 'vitrelle' and now are porcelain.I like the new ones better; they have a little more heft and keep my coffee warmer longer, and they are more elegant than our regular old unmatched mugs.
I love the squared shape of all the pieces, even the cups are a bit square.Perhaps it is because of the shape that the pieces all seem to have so much capacity.I like this pattern, Simple Lines, because it is a simple contemporary desigh.If I have one complaint it would be that the lines don't look solid and dark on the plates; in places the lines look like chalk stripes.
