IS this set heavier than corelle?

I would say they are about the same weight per piece. Maybe even the Lenox china is a bit lighter.

It is very different and lovely. More like fine dining ware. I love my set!

You will like these. I felt same way....did not want any more heavy stoneware type.....did not like Corelle's light weight. These are right in the middle of that difference. We have had these about 6 months, very happy with quality.

It is not so cumbersome that it feels heavy when using the pieces, but, yes, they are a heavier set. I have not had any bending with any of the pieces. They are still beautiful after many months of every day use. I love them, and will order another set soon.

In my opinion they are much better quality than Corelle. Myself and my two children use them daily. A grown man and two children ages 9-11, we are not always so gentle and have not experienced any chips, cracks or breaks.

It is neither. It is heavy. It is not plastic, it is not corelle. It is kinda like stoneware.

Yes, it is heavy and no the lip on the side will not accommodate a butter knife. But it does go well with the other Corelle pieces.

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

I found them to be pretty heavy compared to what I had before. I bought 2 sets and kept them both.

Not heavy at all. I like this set far more than I thought I would. Great for warming food in the microwave.

It does have all 4 pieces: dinner plates, salad plates, bowls and mugs. I think the title is just pointing out that the mug is not made of the Corelle material, but is a stoneware mug. I love this set!

I have not had any problems with the plates and bowls chipping or breaking, however I have yet to knock them hard against the faucet or drop them on the floor. They go though a daily routine of moving in and out of the cupboard against other corelle dishes and I do not notice any harm. I am sure I will eventually knock them about, but for now, the plates are as strong as they are lovely, only time will tell. If they are as resilient as my older corelle sets, I will have no worries. Remember that the mugs are not corelle and will break. I hope this helps you.

It is not Corelle like the Corelle dinnerware. It is light weight and only for the microwave, not an oven. It is dishwasher safe on the top shelf.

None! I search the internet and bought each plate, plate by plate. I bought 3 plates from one person and the rest individually. The cost of the other 5 plates ranged from very reasonable to "no way, Jose". These plates are not included in the Corelle service for 4 set.

The plates feel a bit heavier than other Corelle sets, but that really shouldn't concern you. There is no real stonework. The entire set is wonderful!

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.

Probably not quite as thin as Corelle, but very thin. You can see shapes through it if you hold it to the light. It's much classier than Corelle.

Corelle is known for being little weight. That is why I selected this product. I was having trouble handling other dinnerware because the of the weight. I recommend this product if you are looking for pretty dinnerware that is so easy to handle. All patterns are painted on the Corelle.
