Promising review: "I love these mugs. I was looking for something with a 'natural' look. These are perfect! They fit nicely in my hand, the handle is not too big or small, and being dishwasher safe definitely a plus. The largest brew for a K-cup machine is 12 oz. and this mugs holds exactly 12 oz. so sip before walking away or just brew 10 oz. YES I would buy these again!" —Joanne Buck

Promising review: "These are beautiful napkins. They are a fine weight for everyday use and hold up to the washing machine. Being linen we didn't expect them to be wrinkle-free but they are amazingly stain resistant. We are totally in love with them. We got a set of each color. They are big enough we can use one color napkin as a placemat and then an alternate color as the napkin to mix and match with the placemats. The coral color is our favorite." —Deanna O'Shaughnessy

Promising review: "I had gotten used to being frustrated eating pasta from soup/cereal bowls at home for years. I even sometimes dreaded heating up leftover spaghetti, because the shape of a cereal bowl does not allow for even warming in a microwave. These are everything I ever needed. They are perfect for all of those in-between dishes and cuisines, where neither a plate nor a full-on bowl feel appropriate. So far, we've enjoyed a Sicilian mushroom penne, pan-fried ramen, sweet potato rice bowls with avocado, and lots of leftovers in these babies. Fantastic." —Renee Egan

Promising review: "These dishes are absolutely beautiful. They came very well packaged. The pattern is as pictured and the feel heavy, like they will last for a while. The bowls and cups are of good, useable size. The plates have a nice curve on them so that if the mashed potatoes are a bit runny they wont run off, a feature that I really like and was nicely surprised about that." —Dell

Promising review: "I love these so much I bought some more. They are magical, mystical, and just so pretty. I have so many decorating ideas, they make me smile every time I see them. I dropped a plate the other day and my heart sank, I was expecting it to be shattered, but it didn't faze it. I love that the melamine is also so light, which helps with my arthritis and corporal tunnel. They are much prettier than the pictures too." —Regina Repka

Promising review: "We bought this great set of plates for our son-in-law. His oldest son is 'into' space and they love to eat off these dishes. He had great success getting his youngest to eat something by saying, 'Lets see how ___ tastes on Mars!' The child actually ate this food item he had been avoiding like the plague. It seems to be an adventure to eat lunch on Jupiter or dessert on Pluto. Great fun to be had with these very well-made plates." –Nelson G. Proctor
