I had been a user of Corelle when my children were young and I had switched to other types of dishes in the last few years. Boy, were they a disappointment! All they did was chip and crack. Now that I went back to Corelle, I am so pleased with this product. It is sturdy and withstands the use of my grandchildren as well as my husband. The color on these dishes is excellent and pleasing to the eye.I am amazed at the different types of Corelle that is out there! Hard to make a choice but I am very pleased with the design that I chose. Everyone comments on how pretty it is.
