Dish Set is Great - FedEx Not so much
The dish set is great, colors are beautiful, they look and feel great! I don't have any issues at all with the product. I like it so much, I decided to go buy 2 more sets like this for my sons new house. They have an Asian flair to them and thats exactly what he's been looking for! Strangely, when I picked them up at FedEx, they were in an unmarked brown shipping box. When I got home, I opened it, to find the manufacturers box inside the shipping box. I opened the manufacturer box to remove the dishes and each part (bowls, plates, cups) were taped with "FedEx" tape and most of the dishes were broken. Overall, only 3 cups, 1 dinner plate and 2 bowls are usable. The rest of the items are trash. It's a shame because it is such a beautiful set and I would have loved to have used it in my home...and I will, just need to go buy two more sets!!

    Beautiful dinnerware
    I love the shape of these dishes. It makes me feel like I am eating at a restraunt. They are a high quality product. I want to buy a second set incase I ever break one. So far they havent even chipped one.

    Nice
    These are nice plates for the money. Nice design and modern look. Despite what some review them as heavy. They are not heavy at all Seemingly very durable . Only complaint is they are hard to get. I think that speaks for itself.

    Rich color, beautiful and durable
    A very nice set of 16 dishes. They are not only pretty but durable, too. They are rather heavy and don't seem to be too prone to my abusive, old hands. I was concerned about the square cups, but the inside is rounded. The large plates are 10 1/2", the small plates are 8 1/4" and the bowls are. 5 3/4". The cups hold 14 ounces. . Although I'm not fond of washing square plates, they are definitely keepers as the beautiful rich red glaze match my kitchen. The outside glaze is a matte black and compliment the overall look. Even if you're not as eccentric as I am, I would definitely recommend buying them.

    Beautiful dishes
    The Better Homes and Gardens Weston 16 piece dish set is absolutely beautiful. I have gotten so many compliments on my set already! All three of my daughters wat a set now! Each dish is heavy duty and solid. I have yet to get a scratch on one or break one, I have the world's worst butter fingers. The bowls are perfect size for soup, salad and cereal!

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
    Upon first glance, this dinner set is dramatic and attractive to behold. They are artsy and sophisticated. The red and black combine to make a contemporary, dramatic look and would make your dinners look wonderful in a more formal setting such as a dinner party. Red and black were my high school colors so I was especially pleased to see those colors in this dinnerware. The color is different and lends itself more to an elegant dinner party. The black edge surrounding the plates gives a contrasting look but the edges are uneven. They appear wider in one area and thinner on the next. This is especially more noticeable when the dishes are stacked in a cabinet. Looks aside, they are very heavy in weight, so I would not think these dishes are ideal for everyday use. Anyone with arthritis or bursitis in their arms and shoulders would have a hard time lifting one, especially if it was fully loaded with food. Children would have a challenging chore to carry one with food on it. If you are setting the table and trying to lift several plates out of the cabinet, then may the force be with you! Unless you are a weightlifter, it would be almost impossible to lift more than one or two at a time because of their heaviness. I love that they are microwave safe but lifting a loaded plate out of the microwave is also challenging. The dinner plates are HUGE and hold tons of food. But imagine a dieter trying to cut down on portion sizes. They would feel deprived to see such a huge plate with very little food on it. And some microwaves are too small to accommodate the large width of these plates. These dishes would take up too much room in a cabinet, especially if it's a small kitchen or apartment or camper. I did not care for the extra deep depth of the bowls. Glad they are dishwasher safe, however, I prefer to wash them by hand. Because of their weight, it is a tiresome task. I was disappointed, however, in how they appeared after being hand-washed and dried. The surface dried to a dull, spotty, "fingerprinty" faded look which makes the plates look like they need to be washed again. I was disappointed to see that one of the mugs arrived broken, because in my house, the mugs would be the most used in this set so having one missing is a deficit. Even though they were packed well with cardboard padding, a huge chunk was missing down the entire side of the mug. I love the large size of the mugs and the fact that the handle is large enough for bigger hands makes them very comfortable and convenient. These mugs were my favorite part of the set. If you want special occasion dishes, these would be a good set as the look is dramatic. But, for everyday ease of use, and ability to store and handle, I would pick a different set.

    Better Homes & Gardens Square dinnerware 16 piece
    This Better Homes & Gardens Weston 16 piece dinnerware set is impressive in both design and color combination. The brilliant shine and deep red color of the interior of the dinnerware set is an excellent contrast the exterior of the dinnerware set which is a matte metallic similar to an oil rubbed bronze in color. Lines between the the two colors are sharp and well defined. This is a heavy dinnerware set. The cup holds twelve ounces of liquid and the bowl holds twenty ounces of liquid. The plates seem extra large. No issues with washing the dinnerware set in the dishwasher, no crazing of the glaze was noted.

    Beautiful Dinnerware Set
    The shade of red used in this set caught my eye quickly, but photos of red objects are often different from the true color of the item. I was hesitant to order this set, as I have not been a fan of square plates, bowls or cups. When I opened the box I was delighted by how beautiful the shade of red truly is! The pictures online do not do this dinnerware justice. They are a deep, rich shade of red and are truly beautiful. I have been using the set for a few days now, and I actually like the shape. The dinner and salad plates are just the right size. The bowls are smaller, but deeper than bowls I have used in the past, but I really like them a lot. The cups are also a very nice size. I don't have to run back to the kitchen to make a second cup of tea like I used to with my other cups. They look smaller than my old cups, but they actually hold more tea. Each piece is well made and very solid. They are actually a little on the heavy side if you are used to using Corelle. I would not recommend these for my 85-year old mother. She would have difficulty getting them in and out of the cabinet. I have received compliments from my 23-year old son, of all people, on how great they look. He loves how much food the plates hold! I am very glad I ordered the dinnerware and definitely recommend them. I tried to take pictures of my set to include with the review, but the color in my pictures was not true to the beauty of the set either, so I decided not to post them.
