I was so excited when I saw these on Target.com because they are so beautiful and have the shabby chic look I was going for in my kitchen. I received them with two bowls broken. I called Target and they sent me a brand new set to replace my two bowls. I returned the remaining pieces, and they paid for the shipping. What I love about these dishes is that they look pretty and go with everything. What I don't like is that they don't all look the same. Some of them have paint marks on different places of the paint which looks sloppy and rushed. I also noticed that a lot of the dishes had hairline cracks in them from the poor quality of glaze. Luckily, I was able to switch out the bad ones with good ones when Target shipped me the new set. Also, they feel somewhat fragile when you use them. They feel like you could break them easily...but so far, I have not had any problems. The bowl is the PERFECT size for everything. The bowls are really deep so they are great for cereal, spaghetti, or whatever else. The cups and saucers are very small and if you are using them for an every day basis...forget it...because they are much to small to enjoy a cup of coffee--you have to keep refilling it. I am giving these dishes 4 stars because they are beautiful, go with everything, and because I like the size of the bowl.They are not getting the 5th star because some of them were not glazed and painted well, they feel really fragile for everyday dinnerware, and the size of the cup and saucer are really small. Also, they do not stack well. When they are stacked, they are not secure...they look like they could tip over. Still, I really like them.
