PfaltzgraffMaddy 12 Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4

This review is for the Pfaltzgraff Maddy 12 Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4.The Dinnerware Set is absolutely beautiful, and simple. The 12 Piece Dinnerware Set wash well, work in the microwave with no issues, hold food well, and I love the white color, simple casual design, good price for the quality. No issues with them breaking or chipping.

These a great for everyday use and seem like they will hold up well. They are priced well and I feel like they are overall nice quality. There were a few blemishes and inconsistencies in the finish of a few plates, but I liked them enough still to order a second set. The second set was perfect so the quality might vary a bit from set to set. I am really pleased with them and feel they are a nice value for the style and quality.

Love the style and the detail of the plates. It has convenient grooves in the set which prevents slippage I will have to purchase another set for the dinner party that i'm giving.

Our dishes have not aged very well with 3 kids, and the main set does terrible in the microwave. As in, the dish gets hot, the food not so much. So I got these so my kids would stop complaining about how terrible our dishes are. Sad but true!I like the fact that the food is inset in the big dishes, as it makes it less likely for something to slide off. For us that happens frequently enough as our house has plenty of chaos. I saw another review where the lady actually measured the amount of "food" space with a ruler. For me that is more of a plus.These are really clean looking, and hopefully won't chip as easily as our other set. They are prettier than I thought they would be, and more solid feeling. They are a little shiny but not annoyingly so. Also, the raised designs on the side make the bowls easier to carry, which is another nice surprise. Same with the plates, gives your fingers just a little bit more to grab onto when carrying it over to the table [or wherever... admitting here that we do not always eat at the table!]But back to a key reason I bought these to begin with: microwave-ability.On that front I'd have to say these are a big step up from our previous dishes. They aren't as good as the few random bowls we have that are super microwave friendly and barely get more than slightly warm. But luckily, they do not suffer from the same problem as many of our other various dishes: the plate gets hot, the food not so much.The plates and bowls get pretty warm, but the food gets HOT. Nice.I'm delighted. They have leveled up my kitchen, and everybody is happy. Great buy.

These plates are beautifully made, it definitely beats your basic big box store sets. I like the subtle but sophisticated designs and i have not experienced any defects yet.
