Stone Lain Albie Stoneware 16 Piece Dinnerware Set, Plates and Bowls Sets, Dish Set for 4, Red and Black, Microwave & Dishwasher Safe

This is a 3-month in review. I bought the Stone Lain 16 Pieces Two-Tone Color Glaze without Rim Stoneware Round Dinnerware Set during the Black-Friday sales. Our family consist of 4 members and all of us use these plate-wares everyday extensively.DeliveryNormally when I order stuff from Amazon it arrives within a day or two, some may take maximum about a week. This one though came after a month wait and although I was expecting broken pieces within the shipment, surprisingly every single of the 16pcs came intact and unspoiled. The delivery box had chinese letters on meaning it probably was shipped directly from China? Eitherways glad that the pieces were intact.DurabilityHonestly I was half expecting them to break after seeing so many negative reviews, even though stone-wares are supposed to be heavy and robust. Out of packet build quality seems to be top notch, however I remembered seeing so many reviews with broken pcs of ware after micro-waving. Naturally we started to use the pieces inside microwave for 20-30s and gradually started to increase at around 1 min mark. To my surprise, not only do these pieces stay relatively cool even after 1min microwaving but I have yet to have any crack inside the micro-wave. Food does get warmed decently well too although it would struggle if the food is just out of the refrigerator. Nowadays though we warm food items on these plate wares for more than 1min30s inside microwave without experiencing any problems.SturdinessThese plates are heavy, so when they do bump on things they give out a deeper sound compared to thinner porcelain wares. Also I fear they may break thinner wears after accidental bumps since they feel so robust. Till now though haven't experienced any chips on the corners after extreme use. Also knifewares havent scratched on the surface of any plates yet, atleast not visible to eye.CleaningWe dont use the dishwasher, only hand-cleaning. These are extremely easy to clean since left over food dont seem to stick on them at all.Overall, extremely satisfied with the purchase and would recommend, however I am still aware that Im lucky to have them shipped over without any broken pieces. So I cannot comment on the customer service aspect.

I’ve had these dishes for over a year. First time in my life that I’ve ever eaten off something fancier than a Walmart brand cheapo plate at home.These have a nice heft to them without being heavy. They FEEL fancy and expensive, if you know what I mean. And to be honest, they are fancy, but in a non-showy way. Whenever I’ve had guests over I am actually proud to serve food on these dishes. That’s probably dumb, but as a single dude living alone, I take pride in not slapping down some bachelor-chow style slop on a paper plate. I can make real meals and serve them on real dinnerware without breaking the bank too hard.These plates and bowls clean exceptionally well. The paint/color has not scratched or faded a single bit on a single plate. I use forks and knives and stab these things all the time. No scratches. They look new every time I take them out of the cupboard. The only bad thing that’s happened was I dropped (fool that I am) one of the cups about 5 feet onto my vinyl kitchen floor. It shattered. However, that wasn’t the first time. I’ve dropped the plates and other cups a few times and they didn’t break. They seem fairly resistant to breaking, but they are ceramic, so not impossible and some care has to be taken to not drop them… like I didGood plates, buy them if you’re tired of feeling like your dinnerware is cheap. It will ench

10/10 perfect set I love love love it

I decided it was time to replace the square shaped dinnerware set (not this brand) because many of the corners were breaking off. I'm so glad I went with this set. They are perfect, and being round they fit so much better in my cabinet. These dishes are heavy and well made. They do get hot in the microwave, but I have yet to find dinnerware that doesn't, so I'm not deducting a star for that. I deducted one star because the set isn't flawless, but let's be real..... How long would they stay flawless after using them daily? Minor cosmetic flaws were not a reason to return them in my book.

Love these great quality

I have had this set for years now - it is excellent!The set has a distinct feel of weight and quality. After years of use, I cannot detect and degradation, and the color is same as the day it was new. Totally worth the money, in my opinion.

This is my favorite set so far. Its so beautiful and good quality. Its heavy, easy to stock, and beautiful. I definitely got my money worth and I totally recommend it. We would definitely buy more colors.

Love the way plates have raised sides and the size of the bowls and mugs. Only downside was the broken bowl.
