scratches stacking the plates? Can anyone who's had these for a while comment on how well the finish hold up when they are stacked and jostled around, etc.?

Hi ASC...I've had 3 sets of this dinnerware & though I don't use it for everyday, I have had no problem at all with scratches and mine are now about 4 years old. I do take care when I stack them but have never put any covering between. They are nicely heavy (I like that, some may not) so I suspect if one wasn't careful they might cause some damage, but I would think it would have to be from pretty harsh handling. I have been delighted with my sets & quite enjoy using them from time to time & especially at Christmas (that's why I got 3 sets). So far I've never had a piece chipped, cracked, or broken. And by the way, I'm in my 70's and can lift them just fine but if I was going to have a group of older folks to entertain, I would not use them to entertain buffet style. I find them lovely as do my company. No matter how attractive & fancy some of the paper or plastic plates are, I find they are generally not sturdy enough for other than picnics or backyard outings. Hope yours works as well for you as they have for me! Rh

Thanks for asking this! I too bought the non-divided plates and they warped TERRIBLY after washing once. There was a little insert that says just to bend them back if they warp from washing... but that NEVER worked. =( I'm hesitant to try the divided, but I really like them and hope they'll work better. Love the bowls!

Nope, I have not noticed this. I think the texture/finish of the plates are slick in nature and arrived this way.

I have not noticed this issue at all. We have had our sink for three years, and although it no longer looks brand new, I don't notice any big scratches. This may partly be because we always leave the grates (that came with the sink) in place on the bottom, and I am sure they help prevent scratches since nothing really touches the bottom of the sink.

I have had mine for 4 months and they have held up to my abuse, when I'm done I usually just toss them aside and they don't even have a scratch on them. Not to mention that they also feel like a tank when you hold them.

They look to be all hand-blown and the colour is within the glass.....hence the price. They will scratch tho, so be careful stacking them.

I've had a couple sets of these for about 6 months and a year, purchased separately (needed more) and cannot tell them apart. They were hand washed for the first few months but have stood up fine to regular dishwasher use, too (we had one installed about 6 months ago). No rust so far, including the poor fork I dinged up in the garbage disposal (you can't hardly see the scratch).

I have not had any issues, but I avoid using any "green" scrubber type cleaning. It's not surprising it scratched. I usually just soak it in warm soap water and wipe with a cloth to clean them.

Nate,I bought my wife hers for Christmas, and it still doesn't have any scratches. I would contact your supplier and ask what they are able to do for you.

There have been a couple scratches over time, but I think it's pretty normal. The ones I have seem pretty sturdy. They haven't fallen a part apart yet and the hardware has stayed in place without loosening. I hope this helps.

They do scratch over time. I've had mine over a year. However, they still appear black. So scratches do not go deep and they still look great on the dinner table. Salad plates do chip easily due to shape. I have replaced three of the eight I purchased so far.

I've had mine for 16 years! I cook every day and I've never put them in the dishwasher. I am now looking for a replacement. The coating disappeared from the bottom of my favorite used ones..probably had something stick and left on for too many days (scrubbed the heck out of it).... the coating wore out in about 10 years (but I still use.) Still cooks great, but I want some new ones for the non-stick coating.

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.

I have been stacking mines since I received them and haven't seen any scratches inside. Received them about a month ago.

I have some dished on mine that are pretty heavy. They are holding up just fine.

No, my plates do not have any scratches at all and I have had them for over 1 year.

They will look buffed or scratched almost immediately, just like the cloudy finish that I'm told comes from cooking with salt. It does not hamper their utility. They are the best pans I have ever used as well as the most expensive.
