Solid purchase
Date: February 11, 2010
"I had originally registered for a different set thathad a little detail. I switched to the aspen because it has a great, clean, simple look and it's sturdy. Additionally, it's always nice to have a nice all white set then get decorative accent plates to liven it up. My husband tends to not be gentle with plates and the dishwasher, so the cost of this set is great if I ever need to replace a dish or two!"

purchased replacement pieces
Date: February 3, 2010
"My husband and I purchased our Aspen set about 5 years ago - when it was made in Sri Lanka. The new Aspen dinnerware is made in Indonesia and are a bit heavier and are slightly grayer in color. We needed to replace some broken pieces however so we are keeping the replacements."

"Outside Treats - At Home!"
Date: February 2, 2010
"After having dealt for many years with over-decorated dinnerware, I finally saw via Crate&Barrel what I had in mind for use at my Brooklyn Heights dinner table. I sent for six sets of their Aspen Dinnerware, noting how "relaxed" it looks and how hefty it is when washing, drying and storing it in my kitchen. It's microwave-safe porcelain and has a way of making my servings (home-cooked or the take-home variety) really come across! Because it's thicker than the usual, it maintains my servings warm and tasty long after I get them to the table. Crate&Barrel tells me that it's one of their most popular dinnerware patterns. That's motivation for me to get back on line and look over matching serving pieces!"

"Great set. Problem - EACH time we order we get slightly diff size plates, which is annoying. This time just ordered 12 plates to get an entire set that MATCH. Be aware as buyer."

Great Wedding Dishes
Date: January 9, 2010
"I recieved these dishes for our everyday and our "china" dishes. These are durable and also look great when entertaining. For the price they are a great product. For other customers, they are not expensive so they should have known these wouldn't be as heavy duty. I love these dishes and are a great product for a new couple starting out together."

Aspen Low Bowl
Date: December 21, 2009
"The low bowl is very very shallow. I wanted a nice wide bowl that wasn't too deep for soup and sometimes cereal, but this low bowl was a little too shallow. It would be better suited for pasta or a very thick soup that doesn't require a larger serving. Other than that, the color and quality seemed nice, but they had to go back since they couldn't serve my purposes."

They chip so easily
Date: December 3, 2009
"I had my last set of plates (everyday I registered for for my wedding, not from C&B) for 14 years. I just got sick of the pattern so i was so happy to find this affordable and plain white pattern from C&B. In the entire 14 years I had my last set, maybe one plate was chipped. In the past 9 months or so since i've had these, almost all the bowls and some of the plates are chipped. I am very easy on my dishware. but for some reason these are not great quality compared to what I had before. I'm so disappointed and it's embarrassing to serve on these when i have guests."

just what I was looking for
Date: November 16, 2009
"I'm in the process of replacing my dishes and serving items, so I bought two of the 9" serving bowls and four of the 6.25" individual bowls. These were just what I was looking for, and I'm very happy with my purchases."

The best plates for a great price
Date: November 8, 2009
"We just bought these and I couldn't be happier. They are solid and sturdy, and they fit great in my dishwasher. You can dress them up or down, and since they are so well priced, you can easily replace any pieces. We went from the Samoa plates to these, and I am glad we did."

Great product, great service
Date: October 28, 2009
"I ordered the Aspen dinnerware on Sunday, it was shipped on Monday, and I received it on Wednesday - in perfect condition. It's really classy and so versatile. With white dinnerware, you can change the look with different linens and accessories - perfect for the changing seasons and for holiday entertaining. I coouldn't be more pleased! Thanks, CB!"

durable plate set
Date: September 28, 2009
"These are a great durable product that doesn't chip and rarely breaks. I've used this set for over 2 years and have only broken a few pieces after many drops on the floor. I really love how they show food on the white background."

Exactly what I wanted!
Date: September 17, 2009
"Love my new dishes. I especially like that they do not have rough edges on the bottom of the plates to scratch when stacked. These are lovely and are perfect for casual use or more formal meals. The packing is fabulous. I cannot believe how wonderfully wrapped and boxed everything I order from C&B is. great purchase!"

Everything I had hoped for
Date: August 31, 2009
"I did a lot of research before purchasing these dishes as I didn't wanted to make another mistake. I have spent a lot of money on dishes only to be disappointed. They are not only beautiful, they are light weight, and easy to clean. I am very happy I made this purchase. I would highly recommend them. The reviews and the help of the salesperson at C&B tremendously."

Inconsistent
Date: August 30, 2009
"These plates are lovely for how inexpensive they are. However, as other reviewers have mentioned, plates sourced from different locations are different. The plates made in Sri Lanka are larger and a different color than the plates made in Indonesia. Probably not an issue if you by your whole set off of a shelf in a C&B store, but definitely a problem if you put them on your wedding registry and recieve parts of your set at different times."

New manufacturer
Date: July 29, 2009
"I bought 2 - 20 piece sets this past spring and loved them. Last night I bought another 20 - piece set. When I got home I found new set is made in Indonesia instead of Sri Lanka and the dishes are more gray in color. Not near as pretty nor do they match the ones I already have. I am very disappointed"
