How heavy are these dishes? Between Corelle (being the lightest) and Fiesta (being heavier) where would this set rate?

There around a medium weight, they seem to hold up very well, we have a soapstone counter top and with the kids setting them down hard have not broke any yet, very pleased with them

The dishes are so nice. We have loved them. They are not quite as heavy as fiesta but close. A lot more thick and sturdy than corelle. And they have that smooth finish like corelle.

It's definitely heavier than corelle, but not as heavy as fiesta. I love these dishes, and they feel high quality and long-lasting. They're very modern and classic, if that makes sense. I highly recommend!

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.

They are actually fairly light, not heavy like stone wear. I love the dishes but the shape of the bowls are the only thing I really don't like - they have a large rim, so for salads they work fine but for soups etc they're not my favorite...

They are not big, bulky stoneware...probably medium weight. We purchased them for a rental property and they hold up very well. My only complaint is they eventually get black scratches on the plates from forks and knives.

I really think they don't get much hotter than my other dishes. They are heavy and so beautiful and we enjoy them, I maybe crazy but I think the food tastes better,their beautiful. We want to purchase another set. Enjoy them!!!!

I've had my set for a few years now and they do withstand a lot of abuse from a household stand point. Rough stacking, dropping them in the sink, and so on. This set I just brought my mother has been through the ringer and has withstood the young grandchildren. I truly believe corelle is one of the best brand of dishes you can own. My mother use to own a restaurant and had those porcelain white plates with the green ring on the outside and they never lasted long if she could of afforded to replace them with corelle I know hands down she would of. Hope this helps. Good luck

They are not quite as heavy as Fiestaware or other stoneware-type dishes I have owned. Neither are they likely to be as durable. They are beautiful. I bought them as a housewarming gift for our daughter. She loves them.

They are fine for most plates, starting with dinner size on the bottom. There is another product described as heavy weight. I ordered both and the heavy weight is definitely stronger.

I think they are lighter than most stoneware on the market. We have been very happy with these so far. Very durable and no problems in the dish washer.

I have the Vanilla Rice set, and I think they are just right. Lighter than stoneware, but feel substantial in the hand. They are not fragile dishes. I have pretty serious Arthritis in my neck, shoulders, and hands, and I have no trouble with them.

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.

I seem to remember that the price is for one plate/dish. I do think they are worth it though. They were perfect when our children were younger, and now we use them for outside dining. They stack together snugly and are very lightweight, so that we use them on the patio or even on picnics. We have significantly reduced our usage of paper plates.

I don't know the weight but they are heavy. Needed lighter weight and chose Corelleware and really like them.

This set was a gift to my son, and I'm pretty sure it's more CORELLE than melamin, but HEAVIER than Corelle - I guess Stoneware is a better description.

I'm so sorry, but I don't know. The dishes are heavy and well made. "Mexico" is stamped on the bottom. Perhaps you could call the company and ask? Sorry that I couldn't help.

Yes, these plates are very heavy. I hosted Thanksgiving for about 40 people . Most of the adults use chinet platters. The Heavy 10 3/4 are great for people Who wish to have smaller amounts or deserts. They work well foods that need to be cut or even gravies. Hope this is helpful!e
