Amazon Basics Cafe Stripe Dinnerware Set with 16-Pieces - Black

I was looking for a replacement dinnerware set as my farmhouse set was bought a good decade ago and was looking rather tatty, so it was time for it to go. After looking at many sets on here, from the pricier to the cheaper I was swayed by both the cafe-stripe design of this set, plus the many favourable reviews. The price I wasn’t too bothered about, but when I noticed the price I was rather delighted. I ordered happily having already experienced the quality of the Amazon Basics brand and awaited my orders arrival.My dinnerware set arrived extremely well packaged and there was not one casualty. Once all unpacked and inspected I washed out one of the cups and made a cup of tea. I know it may sound a bit daft but I find tea either tastes great in a cup or it doesn’t. To me, a lot seems dependant on the cup! I have special cups I use for tea and others for coffee. I like these cups. The pristine whiteness of the inner allows me to brew to the required colour and they are extremely comfortable to hold and not too heavy, nor too light.The plates are perfect for everyday dinners and the dip allows for the use of gravy when required. My first use of these plates was with a roast dinner, with Yorkshire puddings and masses of roasties, mash and gravy. I managed to get my rather large portions on these plates no problem. They wash easily and stack well in the drainer too.I haven’t used the side plates as yet but they are stacked happily in my cupboard ready for their first use.The cereal bowls were tested out with a chocolate Cheerios experience with lashings of ice cold milk. Nice bowls! Hold a lot and nice high sides so you can pile plenty in.I like the red/white cafe stripe design and overall this set is remarkable value for money and is ideal for established families, people moving into a new home and newlyweds etc.I really like the Amazon Basics brand. Super low prices, the standard of quality I like.4 x dinner plates4 x dessert plates4 x bowls4 x mugsDimensions:Dinner Plate: 10.5 inches (26.7 cm)Dessert Plate: 7.5 inches (19.1 cm)Cereal Bowl: 5.5 inches (14 cm)Highly Recommended!!

The design is basic, smooth and not too heavy. Great for everyday use and easy to wash. No sharp angles .very pleased with it.

Bought this service for everyday use, to my surprise the quality is good enough for when friends turn up.... my only disappointment was the overall size of the dinner plate. It still does not fit in dishwasher.These plates will help curb large appetites, they have a lovely rim with smaller food surface area. Can’t be bad.

Very strong cutlery well worth the money very pleased

This 16 piece set is a good affordable product.I can't see them lasting for 30 years like some of your mum and dads, but, if money is tight and you need to replace or setting up home for the first time or moving into a new flat and need all kinds without being able to afford too much these are perfect.The pattern is simple and clean as you probably expectYou've got 16 pieces-that's 4 mugs, 4 large plates, 4 side plates and 4 good sized cereal bowlsCombine this with the cutlery set that was I want to say £8.97 - as I did - and on a budget you really can't go wrong.I am always worried when I order things like this that something, at least one maybe two items will get smashed in transit. I am happy to report that not only did this not happen, but the packaging was brilliant.They came in a large square box which had added layers of card protecting each and every item and it was very tight in the pack so very good protection from jolts and bumpsBottom Line: If money is an issue, get these. More than do the job in the the short to midterm anyway

Its not what I was expecting. I can't say it isn't porcelain, as described (I just don't know) but its thick and 'kitchen quality', not what I wanted.

Exacly as shown in the photo.Perfect.

Excellent, although the mugs are a touch small for me.
