Are they durable? Do they chip when you place them in dishwasher or accidentally bump one against another?

We have used them every meal for a month and have put them in the dishwasher and have not had one problem. I really like them.

Very durable. I put these in the dishwasher all the time and no issue. My husband dropped a mug on our granite counter and the handle only got a slight crack, was surprised it didn't shatter.

I am very happy with my dishes. They haven't chipped in the dishwasher or gotten scratch marks from using sharp knives cutting food. They are both durable and very light weight. I would highly recommend them.

I've had mine a while with no chips, but I'm not hard on them & don't have kids doing dishes. The small plates do crack in the microwave though. I had three of them pop right in half when warming something for just a couple minutes.

Absolutely, they are. We use them as our everyday dishes, and even with 2 young children, we love them. We put them in the dishwasher every time we use them with no issues. We got our original, partial set 11 years ago and they still look new. We recently upgraded to this set to have a complete place setting. The only thing they don't hold up to is dropping. lol. Well worth the investment.

So far they seem to be very sturdy to me. We've had 2 of our pairs for 4-6 months and they look brand new. I don't recommend them for doing dishes as they are not grippy enough and glass things will be hard to hold on to. I don't recommend you run them through the dishwasher, though.

I've had mine for a few months. Use daily and wash in dishwasher. No chips seen yet.

I can attest to what Claudio said. They are plastic; however, I travel almost weekly with mine, and they stand up well to being packed and tousled around. So far mine have no sign of being chipped or scratched, though they've had the opportunity to be. (also assuming that sturdiness is the issue.)

I have had mine for about 6 months and LOVE them. They wash so easily and have not chipped or scratched at all. I try not to nest them but I have at times. I have also put something in between 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.

I have not ran it through the dishwasher, however I have dropped it on more than one occasion and no chips so far. Great product!

Honestly, I haven't places them in the dishwasher out of fear. I will say that the outside does get scratched easily. I am very careful with them. I love them and they look great but if you don't mind washing by hand then you should get them. Maybe they will be fine in a dishwasher especially the newer gentler washers that use specific soaps

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.

No special care is needed! I wash in the dishwasher and store in cabinet without anything in between. Bone china is the strongest of all china. Yes, they can chip but not as easily as ironstone and the rest. This is why I bought them! LOVE THE DISHES!

I believe so... we have dropped these into the sink and even the floor twice and they bounced around and did not break or chip. With the abuse these glasses take and the fact that none of them are chipped makes me think they are tempered - at the very least they are quite tough.

I have not used them in the microwave-we have used these for about 6 months-- we have not had any breakage or chipping at all. I have dropped them into the open dishwasher from counter height, dropped them from the second shelf taking them out of the cupboard and knocked them over on the counter with no problems. These glasses are much 'tougher' than any I have purchased prior. I would certainly buy them again.

They seem to do well in the dishwasher. I have two of them, and they are still doing quite well after many runs through the dishwasher.

Pretty resistant. I've had them since November of last year and only chipped one bowl. I've hit them fairly hard against other dishware while loading the dishwasher and have been amazed at not chipping or cracking any piece. The only one that chipped was one that my girlfriend dropped on linoleum.

I've had these for going on 2 years now and we put them in the dishwasher all the time with no issues. :)
