are they heavy or light weight compare stoneware/corelle.

They are heavy. I would compare them to stoneware vs. corelle. So far, we have had no trouble, whatsoever, with our dishes. There was some trouble with shipping, a plate or something broke, but they did not hesitate to replace our order. We do use the dishwasher on our set; we have had no chipping thus far. We are completely satisfied with our order of these dishes. Thanks for asking.Ben Graff

About the same as stoneware. Really love the dishes. We get many compliments on them.We put them in the dishwasher with no trouble. In shipping, one plate was broke and they promptly replaced it. No problem at all!

The material is thicker than corelle, but not much heavier. The dishes look like stoneware, but are glazed to give a more polished finish.

They are much heavier than Corelle. Very strong and durable. I have been very pleased with mine. I've had them for over a year.

Heavier. They are definitely a heavier weight and better quality than I expected. I am very happy with them.

I'm sorry--we had them sent directly to our young friends for their wedding. They look more like stoneware to me vs. Corelle.

They're not particularly lightweight but I wouldn't say they are unusually heavy. To me, they're just the same heaviness of your average larger-sized mug. They're not any weightier than the other mugs in my cupboard.

I believe they are heavy in a "good way". They feel very solid, not cheap at all. I use them every day and am very satisfied with the way they cook. I am not good at estimating weight....but as I said, to me they feel very solid.

I do not know if the plates are heavy, as I bought them last year for a Christmas present for my daughter who lives out of town. She told me when she recieved them that the set is gorgeous, commented the colors were beautiful and a little more vibrant than pictured on Amazon. She loved the set so much that she got rid of all her old glassware and dishes and bought everything that would compliment this set. I think you should refer to things of RR that you can see in stores. Everything I have seen of Rachael's in the stores, her stuff is substantial, but not too heavy. My daughter made no comments about too heavy or too light, so, I think the set is likey good there.

Don't know how to answer you. These are not heavy but they are not so light as to feel flimsy. These silverware is in between the 2. Heavy enough so that it won't bend easily but not so heavy that a child can use easily without any problems. My suggestion is to order a set and if you don't like them, return them. I ordered 2 sets because I loved the design, weight, quality and the price.

They are not big, bulky stoneware...probably medium weight. We purchased them for a rental property and they hold up very well. My only complaint is they eventually get black scratches on the plates from forks and knives.

I'm not sure that it is stoneware, but it certainly is heavier than bone china. They have a sturdy look and feel.

The pans are not heavy but lose their lustre very soon. They look old before they actually are. Hope this helps

Stoneware. It is heavy duty. I like it. But, it weighs a lot, so if you were looking for something lightweight, this wouldn't be a good choice. I think it makes great coffee.

They are not light, the sides and bottom are stainless steel and the bottom has a thick aluminium "Heat sink" added so they are lighter than cast iron but heaver than an aluminium pot of the same size. Hope this helps

They are not quite as thin as corelle, but they are not far off. I would say that they are a tiny bit thicker with just a little more weight to them. They are definitely closer to corelle than the heavier stoneware on the market.

The cookware has a matt finish. Is it a heavy well that is relavent to what. It's lighter than lets say a cast iron pan. But heavy enough. They are well made and look good. So go for it. Happy cooking

Weight is light but not flimsy. I think you will be happy with them. I weighed the largest skillet just now. It's almost 3 pounds. Larger sauce pan is 2 1/2 pounds. Does that help?

Corelle plates from Walmart are much lighter. The main reason I got this set was because it looks pretty compared to the regular walmart ones, but mos of the rr cups and bowls have chipped away in 1 yr of usage.

These are lighter than other stoneware, but they are a little noisy putting away. If I were 75 years old, I would get something lighter.

I don't really know how to respond to that without being objective but I would say that they have their weight to them without being too heavy. (And with this I am referring to the larger pieces.) I would tell you that if you are interested in this set, I've owned mine for 8 months now and they still look brand new and I use these pretty much every day. Hope this helps.

I have been using mine for several months now and am very happy with them. They are not one those lightweight versions. This is the real deal good quality heavy flatware!
