Stone Lain Albie Stoneware 16-Piece Fashionable Dinnerware Set, Kitchen Plates and Bowls Units, Dish Set for 4, Blue and Black

Beautiful and sturdy however slightly heavy since its stoneware
This is a 3-month in review. I bought the Stone Lain 16 Pieces Two-Tone Color Glaze without Rim Stoneware Round Dinnerware Set during the Black-Friday sales. Our family consist of 4 members and all of us use these plate-wares everyday extensively.DeliveryNormally when I order stuff from Amazon it arrives within a day or two, some may take maximum about a week. This one though came after a month wait and although I was expecting broken pieces within the shipment, surprisingly every single of the 16pcs came intact and unspoiled. The delivery box had chinese letters on meaning it probably was shipped directly from China? Eitherways glad that the pieces were intact.DurabilityHonestly I was half expecting them to break after seeing so many negative reviews, even though stone-wares are supposed to be heavy and robust. Out of packet build quality seems to be top notch, however I remembered seeing so many reviews with broken pcs of ware after micro-waving. Naturally we started to use the pieces inside microwave for 20-30s and gradually started to increase at around 1 min mark. To my surprise, not only do these pieces stay relatively cool even after 1min microwaving but I have yet to have any crack inside the micro-wave. Food does get warmed decently well too although it would struggle if the food is just out of the refrigerator. Nowadays though we warm food items on these plate wares for more than 1min30s inside microwave without experiencing any problems.SturdinessThese plates are heavy, so when they do bump on things they give out a deeper sound compared to thinner porcelain wares. Also I fear they may break thinner wears after accidental bumps since they feel so robust. Till now though haven’t experienced any chips on the corners after extreme use. Also knifewares havent scratched on the surface of any plates yet, atleast not visible to eye.CleaningWe dont use the dishwasher, only hand-cleaning. These are extremely easy to clean since left over food dont seem to stick on them at all.Overall, extremely satisfied with the purchase and would recommend, however I am still aware that Im lucky to have them shipped over without any broken pieces. So I cannot comment on the customer service aspect.

Extremely nice and durable for the price
I’ve had these dishes for over a year. First time in my life that I’ve ever eaten off something fancier than a Walmart brand cheapo plate at home.These have a nice heft to them without being heavy. They FEEL fancy and expensive, if you know what I mean. And to be honest, they are fancy, but in a non-showy way. Whenever I’ve had guests over I am actually proud to serve food on these dishes. That’s probably dumb, but as a single dude living alone, I take pride in not slapping down some bachelor-chow style slop on a paper plate. I can make real meals and serve them on real dinnerware without breaking the bank too hard.These plates and bowls clean exceptionally well. The paint/color has not scratched or faded a single bit on a single plate. I use forks and knives and stab these things all the time. No scratches. They look new every time I take them out of the cupboard. The only bad thing that’s happened was I dropped (fool that I am) one of the cups about 5 feet onto my vinyl kitchen floor. It shattered. However, that wasn’t the first time. I’ve dropped the plates and other cups a few times and they didn’t break. They seem fairly resistant to breaking, but they are ceramic, so not impossible and some care has to be taken to not drop them… like I didGood plates, buy them if you’re tired of feeling like your dinnerware is cheap. It will ench

Great customer service from Stone Lain
The product itself is perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. When it arrived, however, there was two pieces that were broken. I accessed the Stone Lain website and filled out the replacement form as required. I didn’t even need to make an account. I had the replacement items within 7 days. I was amazed how smoothly it went. I do not fault Stone Lain for the broken items by any means, nor the quality of the product itself. I am sure “something” happened during the shipping and handling process. Very satisfied.

Excellent quality & kind company
Excellent quality. We found minor scratches / spots on 3 & wrote mail to the company. They couriered immediately. Neighbour friends loved it much as well & gifting them one now.Can’t ask for more! Excellent!

I was so impressed with these dishes. Durable so pretty. Would recommend them for sure, good price

My set had multiple imperfections and it gets scratched easily, I go real easy on these plates, it’s kind of like the finish didn’t get any protective coating.

Me encantó este juego de platos, lo recibí en tiempo y nada venia roto, cada plato traía un protector individual por lo que llegó en excelentes condiciones. Llevo aprox. un mes usándola y los platos extendidos, que son los que uso mas, ya perdieron un poco del acabado que traían inicialmente en comparación a los platos hondos, y también se han comenzado a rayar con los cubiertos, no sé si esto sea bueno o malo pero entiendo que todo se desgasta con el uso. Son platos pesados y se sienten y ven de buena calidad. Lo único que no me gustó del todo y no me di cuenta cuando hice la compra es que de la base, no solo es que cambia el color, sino también cambia el acabado, son asperos, lo cual hace difícil apilarlos sin protectores entre ellos. En general son buenos platos y los recomiendo con su debido cuidado.
