Not up to desired quality
Bad quality
Poor quality, plates uneven, no glaze in places and one bowl smashed and one plate chipped on delivery
Much heavier than I expected
Slightly heavier than a normal plate
heavy
however a little expensive
Get these, dont go for the ones slightly cheaper, its not worth it
Look more expensive than they are
thickish - a little overpriced
Too thin and lightweight need to use 2 just for a couple of sandwiches so false economy
They're also quite thick and heavy, though this is going to be a positive or negative depending on your own viewpoint
