Review of Whittier 10" Dinner Plates - Set of 6

Loved the look, but one out of six arrived chipped (even though double boxed) - you can tell these are from the cheap side of China by the very low quality boxes and tape they come in. I chipped two of them just putting them in the drying rack, by slightly bonking edge of one to another. Three out of six DOA on first day. Better try to find something for double the cost, that doesn't chip when used. Disappointed. Now I have three plates, not sure what to buy instead. WAAAH!

Review of Calypso Basics, 44601, 12 Piece Enamel On Steel Bowl Set With Lids, Pink

I recently purchased these bowls and I have to say they are not only functional but are really very pretty. They go from the fridge to the table and back with no problem.The seal is good and snug,and I like the fact theat they nest so they store easily. At a recent pot luck they made my homemade coleslaw look really attractive on the table. The pink is a nice retro color, and I like that the lids are the same color, not just a plain or translucent white. Nice bowl set, I recomend them.

Product Description
Calypso Basic's twelve piece storage bowl set come with six bowls and six air tight plastic sealable lids in the same fun color. Each bowl is make of enamel on steel with stainless steel rims. The set includes six bowls; .75 quart, 1.15 quart, 1.5 quart, 2.15 quart, 3 quart, 3.75 quart with powder pink color enamel on the outside and white enamel interior. This bowl set is great for storage, mixing (please use wooden/silicone utensils) and even looks great as a serving bowl.
