   These are really nice plates. They have a classic beauty and simplicity, but at the same time a modern look…and the best quality: resistance. They are unbelievably strong and last forever. And you can never go wrong with simple white…you can combine them with different color table cloths, and colorful glasses. Plus, they are extremely cheap but with a quality worth lots of dollars.

   I found out how dangerous these plates are. When I dropped a smaller plate on the counter from the cabinet it shattered into a thousand little pieces all over the counter, floor and flew across the room as far as 12 feet away. The broken hards are like little razors and are very difficult to see. It is very likely that these could fly into ones eye and cause serious damage or at least require a trip to the doctor to have it removed from the eyeball - yeesh, sounds very painfull. I am thinking of getting rid of these and replacing them with regular ceramic plates that don’t break into so many little pieces and “literally” explode all over the place from impact. I agree their should be a recall or at least a warning on these. The ironic thing is that on the back of the plate it says break and chip resistant, but if anything they break easier than glass or ceramic plates I have had. Even though it might be rare for one to drop or brake a plate, when it does happen it could cause serious injury if toddlers, little children, older people, or the disabled are nearby and step on the pieces. It took me like a whole hour to decontaminate the kitchen and then even later on I found a shard of glass on the rug, leading to the living room even though I made a point of not walking into the other oom until I swept and vacummed the kitchen. The shards are very scary looking like they could penetrate an artery!
   I had Corelle for so many years and never broke one with everyday use, but when I did drop it a couple feet it shattered into so many small pieces compared to other plates - maybe it gets really brittle after microwaving them since they are a sort of glass, however they are supposed to be microwave-safe.

   The plates were as described and arrived in great condition and in a timely manner. Thanks.

   I give Corelle 5 stars. They are hard to break. That being said, if you DO break Corelle, it turns into thousands of needle and razor like shards that are really dangerous. I buy, use and recommend Corelle, but just be careful around the breakage if you do break a piece.

   I looked for somewhere to find these Corelle plates and found them on Amazon. My favorite dish and plate design should last a while and withstand my abuse.

   This is an excellent buy. The plates are a nice crisp white and wash up beautifully in the dishwasher. They don’t get too hot in the microwave either. I love that this set came with glasses instead of mugs. We don’t use mugs much at our house and these glasses are the perfect size for water. I like the basic white color because I can always add additional dishes and they will match anything. I would buy again.

   This is a very nice set. Easy to store and clean. I would like to order more and see that the Corelle Winter Frost which is also white is cheaper. Does anyone know the difference other than this comes with glasses and the Winter Frost comes with mugs?

   Corelle has always made an excellent product and this a nice simple starter set. For me it was a replacement set. (Word to the wise: Don’t use when giving neighbors treats because the plates are so nice you’ll never get them back.) In the twenty plus years I’ve had my Corelle set for everyday use, I’ve only ever had one place get a small chip in it. Other than that none have ever broke, they still look like new and are great for use in the microwave!

   Only thing that would make this set perfect would be to get rid of the cheap glasses and replace with pasta bowls. They’re not fooling anybody by adding these glasses (which you could buy anywhere for about a dollar) as a filler making you think you’re getting some kind of great deal.

   I’ve used this set for 2 years. Easy to clean, fairly durable - one plate has chipped and 2 glasses have broken.
   The nasty surprise? One glass arrived with an unfinished very sharp area on the rim about 3/4ths of an inch wide. That went into the trash; it wasn’t worth the effort to return it.

    I purchased two of these sets to have a nice supply of dinnerware for everyday use. I love the light weight, durability, and space saving design of these plates and bowls. I will never go back to stoneware!

    I thought I was getting 8 plates for this price and I was very upset when it arrived and there was only 1. You could buy a plate directly from Correlle cheaper than what Amazon is charging. This is not the first time I have gotten screwed over by the way Amazon worded things. I think they do it intentionally. Don’t buy from Amazon, it is a rip off!
