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

to Matt Wright---if you're still following post---I always feel like its "the emperors new clothes" (remember the old story?) when people talk about Corelle ware....The set we had chipped, shatttered into millions of tiny pointed shards when dropped....I don't know WHAT people are talking about when they say its so great. The only positive, I think, is that it is very light so if someone is arthritic or can't deal w/ heavy stoneware it would be better.

No, I don't recall them staining. Or if they do, only a little and they clean up well. They will sustain tiny scratches from sharp knives. I consider these plates to be my "every day plates", to be used and abused by my family. I do not stress about tiny imperfections. I am happy that they don't shatter, don't get as hot in the microwave, and are basically indestructible. Good luck with your decision!

They do not chip - however depending on the amount of use they could have scratches on them. I have been using bamboo cutting boards like these and they have lasted well over a year without replacing them. When I purchased these boards I also purchased the cutting board oil and treated them prior to using. I have found they hold up much better with the treatments and handwashing (do not put in dishwasher).

Bone China & i really like them. I haven't had any problem with chipping & they look great mixing & matching when i want to change my tables cape.

Yes, they do chip not as easy as others have claimed. If you slam them around then like all dishes they are going to chip. I have a 15 year old who hates to wash dishes he slams these plates around and he hasn't chipped the first plate. My husband chipped the salad bowel eating cereal. If you want a dish that will not chip at all buy corelle. I have had these dishes for a long time now and 1 bowel and 2 plates have chips. I put them in the dishwasher the micowave to me they are hard to chip. Hope that 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.

They look like white porcelain. Though I doubt they are. Probably some kind of pottery.They are nice and they go through the dishwasher with no problem. I was surprised how nice they are.

My color has not even begun to chip or scratch. And I've used it everyday for two seasons. But I don't put it in the dishwasher. I hand wash it.

I have difficulty gripping or holding onto anything, and previously my cupboard was full of chipped dish ware. I decided to make a change, got rid of all the chipped dishes, and gradually started with Fiesta (waiting for a sale each time). It's been about a year, and much to my happy surprise, not a chip or crack has developed. In the past, at least a few dishes would be damaged. And by the way, they were not cheap dishes but a well known high quality brand. You will be pleased with the quality.

These dishes are not chip resistant. In fact they chip quite easily. We have stopped using them as they were a danger at times

Yes, they are heavier than most other dishes. More durable and beutiful too! I've had mine nearly a year now, and not a single chip or nick.

Had mine for 4 months. They are great. Very sturdy no chips. Use them in dishwasher and microwave so far no problems.

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.

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.

All the copper colors match...........all the same. They are so pretty......but not dish washer safe...the finish came off when I put it in the dishwasher. I got the hammered ones....love them.

I have never had a problem. I have run 2 of them through the dishwasher several times a week for about 5 years. They are heavy enough to be almost indestructible. My first one chipped on the lip a few days ago.

I have had several pieces of LC for a few years now...like three years. I take care not to knock them around the kitchen, wash them carefully in the sink, etc, and have not had any trouble with chipping. Also, LC has a great warranty against manufacturing defects.
