Let me start by saying I was skeptical about glass dinnerware – until I tried the Corelle Vitrelle set. The first thing you'll notice? These plates and bowls are ridiculously lightweight. After years of clunky ceramic dishes that made my arms ache during dishwashing marathons, this set feels like I'm handling air.

The triple-layer glass construction isn't just marketing speak – I've accidentally knocked plates off the counter (multiple times) and they've survived without a scratch. My kids treat them like hockey pucks during mealtime, yet we haven't lost a single piece in six months of daily use.

About that wildflower pattern: it's more muted in person than the product photos suggest. Personally, I love the vintage charm this creates, but color purists might be disappointed. The design scales differently across plate sizes too – a minor quibble that only design nerds (like me) will notice.

Where these truly shine is in practical use. They stack like a dream, taking up half the cabinet space of my old stoneware. Microwave reheating doesn't leave them nuclear hot, and dishwasher cycles leave them sparkling without any weird food odors clinging on.

The 18-piece configuration is smart – six each of dinner plates, appetizer plates, and bowls cover most meal scenarios. Though I wish Corelle included salad plates (available separately at Target) to complete the set.

Two caveats: First, packaging could be better – some reviewers received chipped items. Second, while nearly indestructible under normal use, extreme impacts can still break them (ask me how I know after that unfortunate incident with my patio table).

For RV owners or anyone craving durable yet lightweight dinnerware with personality beyond basic white, this set delivers surprising value. Just don't expect neon-bright colors or restaurant-grade heft.
