Okay, so I finally got my hands on this 18-piece set after stalking it for weeks. First impression? The square design is *chef’s kiss*—modern but not trying too hard.

The plates and bowls are lightweight (good for my weak wrists) but don’t feel cheap. Dropped a bowl while unloading the dishwasher—it survived! Though I wouldn’t test fate again.

Microwave test: warmed leftover pizza for 2 mins. Plate was warm, not lava-hot. Bowls fit a whole ramen pack (priorities checked). Dishwasher-safe with zero fading—my lazy self approves.

Small gripe: the turquoise ‘beams’ design is cute but shows spaghetti sauce smudges more than I’d like. Also, unpack carefully—they’re packed tighter than my post-holiday jeans.

Verdict? For the price, they’re stellar. Not ‘heirloom quality,’ but perfect for daily use + pretending I have my life together when guests come over.
