I bought 8 place settings of these dishes as I thought they would be just as great as the other pfaltzgraff dishes that I has bought previously, I'm very disappointed as just about everyone one of my dinner plates have chips or big chunks of the finish coming off of them. These are a beautigful design, to bad that I wasted the money on them as they aren't holding up at all and I'll probably have to go out and buy new dishes again.
