These are great lookings dishes and large in size. I had read one of the other reviews before I purchased them and it said they did not fit in that persons dishwasher. I thought possibly they may have an odd dishwasher. Apparently they don't because they don't fit in mine either. Mine is a Bosch. The dinner plates have to be hand washed. The dinner plates will also not fit on the lowest shelf of my cabinets as someone else had said due to the support bracket in the cabinets. I kept them because they are really cool on the table!
