Stone Lain by Mercer Dented Debossed Stoneware 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Grey

I absolutely LOVE this dinnerware! I have the gray and it is gorgeous and well made. I’ve had them for 6 months now. They fit great in the dishwasher, stand up to every day life and I get compliments on them all the time! Would absolutely buy again!

I spent months trying to find the perfect, unique dinnerware and I thought I had found it with these Mercer Project pieces. They are sturdy, beautiful, look great, can withstand the force of being dropped. I've had these for the last 6 months and I wanted to get some real use in before writing a review.If you want beautiful, long-lasting durable plates and bowls...these are not going to be your guys. The first issue is that they scratch incredibly easy. If you're very careful with the way you eat or never actually cut your food on the plate or in the bowl then you can avoid scratches, however regular use - these are getting scratched up unless you eat incredibly delicately. And again, if you're simply using a fork to cut an egg in half with your breakfast...you're scratching these. If you're cutting a piece of meat...you're scratching these. And the scratches are very visible and ruin the look of the dinnerware.Secondly, because they are stone this dinnerware is LOUD against silverware. If you're sensitive to the noise of scraping then you'll hate having these. This isn't your typical silverware noise, it's a lot more 'nails against a chalkboard' kind of scraping sound because of the stoneware. I've worked in the food and bev industry in restaurants for year and I personally didn't think it would be that bad based on other reviews I saw. However, the scraping of silverware against this stoneware (when I'm using it, not when someone else) does make me uncomfortable.I've seen other reviews mention that because the plates don't have a lip that sauces can run off the plate, which can be true, but I'm just aware of how I place and plate food and avoid that issue.Overall, these are gorgeous and look so freaking good, but they're not designed to last except as showpieces or something you're very careful using when you eat - and good food should not be enjoyed cautiously for fear of scratching dinnerware.If you're really set on getting these, you've been warned. But I would look elsewhere if you have the option. I'm currently shopping for new dinnerware.

These are nice but extremely heavy!! You definitely can’t pile them all onto one shelf. Really, my only complaint is that I wish the bottoms were the same color as the plate and the sayings are corny. I suggest leaving them off or at least write something good.

This stoneware dish set is absolutely perfect for our rustic luxury designed home. They are stunning, sturdy and quite the conversation starter. :) There is a little saying on the back of each dish which is a very personal touch that brings a smile to all who read them. We love these a lot and many quests have commented they want them, too.

It’s a very nice set but is very heavy for daily use. It definitely has a statement when you set the table but for every day use I don’t like it
