Better Homes & Gardens by Dave & Jenny Marrs 16-Piece Stoneware Dinnerware Set, White

I was apprehensive about ordering these but I am very thankful I did. I have honestly wanted this type of two toned dinnerware for years now. I unpacked and placed them in my dishwasher immediately. No crazing!! I love the size of them as well because they are slightly larger than average stoneware dinner sets. Additionally, I stack them in a "two over two patter on either side of my cupboard. They don't scratch and have yet to chip. I love these so much that I am currently saving to purchase the Better Homes and Gardens Sofa by Dave and Jenny Marrs.

The Better Homes and Garden dishes arrived overnight. The cream set of two tone microwave dishes were extremely well packaged!! I feel these plates and bowls are of excellent quality and a true value for the money. The lower half of the dishes do have a contrasting color and a very slight texture to them, but I would not call it sandpaper like an other review listed here. I highly recommend this set of dishes, kudos for all the safety effort that went into planning with the packaging. Nicely done, I was happy there were no chips or cracks.

The color is matte which has a nice, expensive look. Heavy plates and pasta bowls appreciated much more than coffee cups that I have plenty of. Sandy bottom on dishes, so not sure how I’ll like in long term. One bowl arrived broken and I was offered 15% off.

Very cute, appear to be sturdy/chip resistant. However, only giving 3 stars as the ceramic bowl scratched by fork after first use. But Can’t complain too much given the price.

I don't remember the last time I broke a dish until I bought these. I've had them for about 3 months now and one shattered and the another is chipped. I wanted to purchase replacement plates however that is not an option. I would have to buy a complete new set. I don't want to do that. I don't need that many extra of the other dishes and I would still have an uneven set. Disappointed.

In terms of design, this set lives up to my expectations of BH%26G products. I appreciate that the set includes pasta bowls instead of mugs. The packaging was superior. Quality-wise, it is an utter failure. The first time I used a dinner plate, it was ruined by scratches on its surface from a regular table knife and now looks like a garage sale purchase. I am angry and terribly disappointed. I no longer have either the packaging or receipt so a return and refund will be a hassle.

This set is okay. It has a few nice features like the lipped dinner plate I really like that. The dinner bowl is different that you don’t normally see. The bowls are a normal size. However they look really nice but when your holding them the darker part is a rough material. My husband says like sand paper. A really non abrasive sand paper but still not super pleasant. For our liking anyways. They don’t stack nicely without it rubbing against the texture gnarly. For us we have to stack our dishes in the cabinet so it’s not ideal. They are dishwasher and microwave safe. I wanted to love this set. They look so nice but the texture ruins it. Wish it was the look but not the feel. They are however easy to hand wash as the bottom is grippy they don’t slip from your hands. That could be a plus for some people.

The dishes are cute and I love the bigger bowl…but I hate everything else about them. The bottom is very rough so it scratches everything. You barely use silverware on them and they make a horrible scraping sound and leave silverware scratch marks all over them. They’re also very hard to stack so with them being so heavy, it feels impossible to line them up. I should have returned the whole set the second I touched them but I thought I would grow to like them. After 8 months, I hate them more.

Unfortunately, these dishes were not the quality I thought they would be and returned them a day after receipt. They scratch very easily and over time would have been awful for every day dishes. The plates were also extremely heavy.

I used these once...with regular silverware and they are now scratched. In the attached photo you will see dark gray lines. You cannot actually USE these dishes. Wish me luck on getting a refund!
