Review of Mikasa Swiss Coffee Swiss Coffee Place Setting 4-pc.

My husband and I got 12 place settings from Bed Bath and Beyond for 19.99 a place setting for our every day uses.I personally really love these dishes.They feel nice and heavy.The colors seem some what off to me from various websites to the real thing.The center part is gray (maybe with a ever so slight blue hue--depending on your lighting) and the inside and bottoms are brown.There is a tan border line between the gray and brown.The brown part isn't glossy while the gray part is glossy.
We've had this set for about 3 months and haven't had any scratches or anything like that and they've gone through the dishwasher and microwave.I've even left plate of food in the oven to keep warm and they were perfectly safe.They also don't seem to get fry your hand off hot when you take them out of the microwave.We've had some other dishes in the past that needed a hot mitt to handle after getting out of the microwave--but not these.No chips or breaking yet.Well I take that back---one plate broke when our cabinet shelf collapsed which I'm thankful and surprised that only one plate broke. We've received many compliments on this set.I'm waiting on the matching veggie bowl and sugar bowls to arrive.They also have a cute matching tea pot.There are several replacement websites where you can get other pieces if you need to replace pieces.
Other reviewers on other websites say they don't like that the sets are consistent.I will say that each piece is slightly different in coloring and in the tan line thickness--so the pieces don't really match EXACTLY.It does not look like a mismatched college set, but looks more like each piece is handmade rather than perfect identical machine made. If you're looking for a 100% perfectly identical pieces then don't get this set.If you want to see this set in person, you might check a local Bed Bath and Beyond--one store had them in their bridal area on display but another didn't.
