Just got my Famiware set in 'white circle' (though some reviews mentioned green issues). First impression? The gold trim is *chef's kiss* – way fancier than my old IKEA plates!
The stackability is a lifesaver for my tiny NYC kitchen. Bowls nest perfectly inside plates, and the embossed texture adds nice grip (no more spaghetti slides!). Microwave tested my leftover pad thai – no weird sparks or overheating.
BUT heads up: The white is more 'eggshell' than stark white. Gold detailing does rub slightly after dishwasher cycles (I'm on cycle #8 now). They're heavier than expected – dropped one from counter height onto tile and... SURVIVED! Chip-resistant claim checks out.
Bonus: Comes with those little foam protectors between each piece. Shipping box looked like it survived a warzone, but everything inside was pristine. Would make a great newlywed gift... if they promise not to return it for being 'too fancy for ramen nights'.
