Gibson Soho LoungeSquare Reactive Glaze Stoneware Dinnerware Set, Service for 4 (16pc), Sand

The first thing you notice is the packaging. When I opened the box I was surprised how well packaged everything was to preserve the dishes from breakage. I always worry about fragile items shipping through the mail but I have a Kohl's near me if I had to return this so I thought I'd take a chance this once. I'm glad I did.Next, the dishes were thick and heavy. Not super heavy to where you will wear out your arms but the type of heavy that resembles durability and quality. If you've ever handled a ceramic plate or Correlle plate you know how flimsy or extremely light these can be. They handle in the microwave well. The plate is warm to the touch while the food is heated to your liking. The other plates I mentioned you would need oven mitts to remove your plate from the microwave.The sizes of each dish are perfect. If you own a single serving keurig machine the cup size is perfect for the biggest cup setting with enough room to add some flavored creamer. If you're one who likes their food items not touching each other you can space out each item nicely on the dinner plates. The smaller plates are perfect for open faced bagels with cream cheese without overflowing on the plate. For those diet portion sizing these small plates are great for smaller meals. The bowls were slightly bigger than normal size bowls I've seen from other dish companies but I like them. You could either use them for cereal, soup, or holding your chopped up veggies you prepped for cooking.The only reason I gave this rating a 4 is because of the slight dimpling on the cups. (Pictures posted) The pics I posted were of 1 cup that had the most dimples. I did a close up on the same cup so you can see them better. The other 3 cups only had 1 or 2. Nothing too noticeable. The 4th cup I saw 15. I'm sure if you complained to the creators they would send you another cup.Regardless, I'm VERY pleased with the dishes. They're absolutely beautiful and functional for everyday dishes. What you see in the photo on Amazon is exactly what they look like in person. I'm usually wary of online shopping because that is not always the case but you get what you see with this product.As for price point, I use to work for Mikasa. If you know this company, they sell dishes, cups, stemware, serving plates, vases, and other decorative household items. The price of these dishes is comparable and reasonable.SOHO Lounge is a wonderful product. I would recommend them to anyone. In fact, I'm buying another set soon.

It arrived in perfect condition. After reading reviews, I have not used it in the microwave, but with that disclaimer, I will say that they have been very durable. They aren't perfectly identical, as some have a little different shape, but for me, it adds to their charm. They have withstood the dishwasher and a clumsy housekeeper, so I am extremely pleased with this product.

I bought these for my grown son who just bought his 1st house.Grey color is beautiful....male or female. Quality and style are amazing

These weigh in at above their price class. Super nice looking plates and they’re pretty heavy too. Not always an indication of quality, but these plates match the weight with quality - they are nice! They’ve been through nearly a year of abuse and show no signs of deterioration despite constant use.

These are dishes I've owned for 8 yrs and when we bought our current home, i ordered more. I chose a neutral color to match most any occasion. They are strong, durable, and resist chipping, while adding beauty to the table. We love them.

This is such a beautiful dining set. They have some weight to them, and feel very durable when holding them. The big plate sizes are great for meals, and the smaller plates are good for side salads or desserts. The bowls are great for making Ramen. And they match beautifully with our black stainless steel silverware. Overall very happy with the purchase

My dishes arrived intact. No chips or broken dishes. I loves these dishes.

2 dinner plates cracked through and 1 bowl broken. Rather than send the whole dinner set back replacement option should be available. Will not now be returning due to the ridiculous cost of postage. VERY disappointed especially as this was a Christmas present.

this dinnerware is disgusting quality, apart from a broken bowl when it arrived, the glazing looked like it has been glazed by a 4 yr old. the glazing and quality is very bad, i expected it to be nice as it wasn't cheap. i wouldn't buy anything from this company ever again. and returning it has been a nightmare.

Absolutely love this set! Was a bit unsure after reading sone reviews but I'm so glad I went for them! Highly recommend this set!

Excellent, please see our recent review on the Blue ones, we bought to mix and match the shades. Highly recommended.

I purchased two sets of these (purple and blue) and am very happy with the purchase.The dishes arrived in pretty boring boxes, but very well packed with nothing broken. They're heavy but not terribly so (somewhere between corel and typical ceramic), they're sturdy (I'm sure I'll eventually break one but so far so good), and they look good.They've also been through my mean old dishwasher many times with no issues, but are easy to hand wash too.Overall I'm very satisfied with them and would recommend to anyone else looking for a nice square set.
