so happy!

"I searched for 2 months for modern white, practical everyday use dishes and finally chose these. Crate & Barrel packaged them so well it took some time to unwrap them and I appreciated not having a single scratch!
These stack well, no marks when you use a knife on them and they aren't too thin or too thick. Exactly what we were looking for and I bought place settings for 7 for the under the price of other retailers with less quality dishes.
No complaints at all, load in dishwasher nicely too. Highly recommend! Best purchase this year so far"

great dishes

"These are exactly what I was looking for to replace my aging dishes. Bought two sets plus extra plates. Their simple, clean, all white design looks great. The pieces are all generously sized. Because of their design. with the simple lip at the edge, the dinner and salad plates have much more usable space than the ones they replaced. They contain liquids very easily. For the price, they can't be beat for everyday dishware."

Fav everyday kitchen item

"Picked up 4 dinner and salad plates at an outlet store 5 years ago. These are the greatest plates for everyday use.
Thick and sturdy but not too heavy to hand wash. We aren't gentle with things here at our house and these plates have taken beatings and survive still with no chips.
We use the salad size the most; it's plenty big enough for regular meals. O and, the edges have a perfect lip for liquids such as sauces and juices.
Later I picked up the wide soup bowls. Also great in minimizing tipping incidents.
Can't say enough about how much I love this collection. Nice looking and family friendly!"

Good basic plate

"The plates are very well made, but be aware that they are fairly heavy and that the surface area is quite large. Overall a great basic plate."

Perfect Dinnerware

"I purchased these plates and they are perfect. The little lip around the edge of the plate is great for keeping food on the plate and the style is classic. Cannot recommend enough!"

Great plates

"I ordered these plates to use for every day eating. They're great!! The quality is high--consistent with all the products I have purchased from Crate and Barrel. The plates are the perfect balance between weight, quality and durability. The lip around the plate makes it greate for eating on the couch."

Casual and versatile dishes

"I ordered the 6.5" bowls as I needed something a little larger than the 5.5" bowls which I already have. Am very pleased with the size. I have had the Cafeware I for many years and have purchased Cafeware II serving pieces as needed. I love the fact these are nice and heavy, very durable and simple dishes. Because they are white, the food really pops out on them. I love putting them on colorful and patterned placemats for a modern look."

Very happy

"I read all of the reviews before purchasing and the few negative reviews turned out to be positive for me. These dishes are not "pure" white, but rather a dirty white. I had a previous set of dishes this color and didn't want to have to replace serving pieces.
The dishes are heavy.
This is a very basic, "less is more" style of dinnerware.
I had one plate broken in shipping which was immediately replaced at no cost to me after calling the company.
The lip around the edge of the dish is great for juices/liquids from food.
I shopped around EVERYWHERE for new dishes and this quality for the price couldn't be beat!

Really Nice

"I love the overall appearance and and the quality! Really nice! I feel like this is a classic look that will hold its own for a long time to come.
One dinner plate and one salad plate each had a small manufacturing ding which Crate & Barrel promptly handled by shipping replacements. My only complaint, and it is a small one... the plates do not stack as well as I would like because of the rim/lip. It is not a huge problem, but possibly something to consider. I have never seen anything packed so well in my life."

Lovely and practical dishes!

"Nice warm white color, and love that the plates hold sauces without spilling. Cups are a nice size for either coffee or soup. I found the plates to fit well in my dishwasher even with the raised rims. The plates and bowls are sturdy and wonderfully stackable. The cups don't stack, but do feel nice to hold with the cool ribbon-like handle. Sturdy, packaged well and eco-wrapped, the dishes arrived in perfect condition. The employees at the outlet store (on Clybourn) were very nice and helpful. May order more!"

Love my new dishes!

"Love my new dishes - arrived quickly, packed unbelievably well, not a mark or a chip on them. Beautiful, well-made everyday dishes. My only beef, and this almost made me send them back, is that they do not fit very well into my dishwasher. I can only put the dinner plates in every 2nd slot in the bottom rack because of the higher lip, the small plates have to go into the bowl slots, and the bowls, I can only fit two on the bottom and the rest have to go on top or be handwashed. This may only be a problem because I have a "European" style dishwasher (a Bosch), and may not happen with a more American-style model (like a Kitchenaid or a Kenmore). I do however, love them enough that I would rather wash a few dishes by hand or run my dishwasher more, than to send them back."

Perfect Everyday Dishes

"I purchased three sets of this dinnerware approximately 10 years ago. I purchased another set for my son while he was in collage. I love the "cafe" style and durability. We use these dishes for everyday and Thanksgiving dinner when we have more than 8 for dinner. The mugs are the perfect size for my daily coffee or tea. I LOVE these dishes!"

Great Dinnerware

"I purchased 12 place settings several years ago and only recently broke to cups. I ordered two replacement cups online and was very happy with my order. I received them quickly and they were really well packed! This dinnerware if very durable - you will not be disappointed."
