they are not especially heavy. they are good quality, so not extra light but i have arthritis in the joints of both of my thumbs and i don't notice them being hard to handle.

Not heavy at all. Light and cheap feeling. Don't be surprised if they arrive in pieces at your doorstep. That's what happened to my two orders of these dishes.

These mugs are a little bit weighty. They are pretty sturdy. The plates and bowls are of average weight, not any heavier than any other plate. The mugs are rather large, so by virtue of size alone they have noticeable weight to them. I think that even with arthritis, you would be able to lift it.

As pretty as these dishes are, you may find them a bit heavy. They are quite sturdy but the mugs maybe too heavy for you to lift easily when filled with tea or coffee.

I wouldn't call them heavy. They have the weight of stone wear. They aren't particularly light either. If you need a lightweight dish a thin China or corelle brand dishes may be best

We gave it as a gift in the summer. I don't remembering it being very heavy. The shipping weight states 12 oz.

Not heavy at all but definitely has weight. I love this entire set but the salad bowls are like serving bowls.

If your Mom is arthritic I would not buy this mug for them just on the basis that it is pretty heavy. I left this cup at a bus stop one day because I got so sick of it spilling coffee down the front of my shirt. No matter how you adjust the lid you cannot get it to not spill and it also leaves way too much coffee in the cup that you cannot get almost no matter what you do. I would not buy it.

It is not heavy. It's made of some kind of plastic metal. I returned the product bc one of them broke in shipping but they did look nice.

I think they are lighter than most stoneware on the market. We have been very happy with these so far. Very durable and no problems in the dish washer.

They are fairly light unless you have lid on. I haven't weighed them but they aren't cheap feeling

Not heavy at all. We were looking for something light as well and these are perfect....

I purchased them for a wedding gift. I also gave a set to my daughter & her husband, she said they are light weight but not awkward to hold, they love them!

They're very light. I'd say they're about as heavy as those really cheap, thin glass cups you'd get somewhere like Walmart. (But my kids haven't managed to break these yet!)

They are thick enough, if that makes sense. No cracks (have dropped them a couple of times) or problems with dishwasher use for about 3 months. I bought them for my parents who both have arthritis. The handle is large enough to comfortably hold the cup and it easily takes a 12oz. cup of coffee from their Keurig machine while leaving plenty of room for cream. I bought two more to use as water glasses! No complaints!

I can't tell you what they weigh exactly but they are lighter than they appear. They are no heavier or maybe a little lighter than my regular cups. Not too light to make them unstable or easily breakable. They are nice cups and stand up well. We use them daily and wash them regularly in the dishwasher.

I bought this for my husband who has much larger hands than I do. I find I can not use the high quality knives that he uses because of my arthritis and the smaller size of my hands makes his knives off balance for me. Having said that - I do not know how heavy it is because I just tip it up and rock it. I find that the weight of this is it's asset for me because I do not have to grip it hard or push down on it. I simply rock it and before I know it the job is done. Hope this helps.

It weighs 4lb 7 and 3/4 oz. weighed on my kitchen food scale. I have rheumatoid arthritis and can pick it up easily. Also the handles stay cool and are ergonomically designed which helps in lifting it easily.

No, not heavy at all- in fact they are very light and have to be assembled, the sections just screw together. Honestly, I thought they would be bigger, but they are fairly small.... Get lost amongst all my big furniture.

No. I have osteo-arthritis in my hands and these are light enough for me to handle comfortably.I think the covers are heavier than the pots/pans! But they are fine too. Good luck!

The pans are very light. An additional benefit with my arthritis. Just have to remember to keep heat low as liquids are absorbed/cooked off very quickly.
