[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These plates are great for any household! I love the colors of the dishes and the glossy look it has. I ran them all in the dishwasher with heat, no issues there. The only thing to keep in mind are the bowls are not super big. They are good for dinner time for holding things like sauces, chopped veggies, or a small serving of soup, not great for a big bowl of cereal like some other dish sets. Definitely not a problem as these are exclusively for regular meals as a family, they look fancy!
