We've had 3 red round plates chip. I thought these were supposed to be so durable

I purchase the set of knives by Hampton forge and I have not had any problems with the paint chipping. I use them regularly because I cater...I plan on ordering two more packs within a few months...very good product...

I have not had any chipping, however I have not owned them for very long. I love the knives, so I hope the paint does not chip

I too have not had an issue, I was nervous with the reviews but I even cook on them (burger or so) I really like them, they are very heavy and seem durable to me. Ive had mine since last Christmas.

My dishes came from a company in Florida(Bealls). I ordered them a couple of years ago. They were very well packed and not one dish was broken or cracked. I'm sorry your experience was different, as they are lovely dishes.

Yes, no problem at all in microwave. I have been using them for a few years and never an issue. Dishwasher safe too. Never had any breakage. If you stack them, I suggest folding a paper towel or two in the bottom bowl. It just keeps any accidental banging from chipping. They are sturdy but I like to be careful. I love mine.

Have only in microwave and for salads. They chip very easily though. I am very careful with them. Half already have chips. My ARC rimmed glass bowls I have had for years have never chipped. Must be made out of different kind of glass.

I have had my dishes for about a month. So far no chips. I don't think that they will chip easily.

I got this set for my son and family. They have 3 small children and use these dishes in the microwave a lot. So far, not a single broken dish. They have had the set about a year. That's pretty much all I can say. No issues with the casseroles in the oven, either. Hope this helps

I just thoroughly cleaned them with my usual household all purpose cleaner then rinsed off the counter two or three times to make sure I got any and all residue off, then let it thoroughly dry. I don't believe I ever used anything abrasive or sanded first. I am not having any chipping problems. I just followed the directions in the kit. I had mauve/rose colored formica counters that were really "fugly"! Looks a lot better now and I'd never done anything like this before! They came out great and they're hold up great. I'm careful not to cut anything on them or put anything hot on them and I wipe up with my dish cloth when I'm done doing dishes or just plain water.

I haven't had a problem with their chipping but then I don't stack them in the cabinet either. They have a good feel of stability about them and I've appreciated the three different sizes (weights). I'm older and the largest full of beverage is too heavy for me to handle comfortably. Hope this helps! I think you'll like them.

I haven't noticed any chipping yet. I had a few pieces crack when they were accidentally dropped or hit against metal sink while being washed.

I think so but not entirely sure, I would hand wash them anyways to prevent getting chipped by other dishes. They are really lovely when they arrive.

I've had these rods & shelves up quite some time and have not noticed any chipping. Very durable

The dishes are stoneware so they aren't super smooth but I really don't find them bad. All the stoneware I've had have had a certain amount due to the firing they go through. I really love the dishes.

I, too, have had mine for a year or so and they have not chipped while nested. However, I would recommend either cheap washcloths between each bowl or some kind of soft, thin material to line each bowl; but even those precautions will not prevent chipping when the bowls are in use, or being hand washed. Good luck.
