I love the white set too, it’s very classy and easy to dress up for a fancy dinner but also not mind using day to day either. Plus, it never looks outdated!
We have dropped many plates on linoleum and I cringe expecting them to break and they’re completely fine. The two bowls that I have had break on me were dropped a) in a porcelain sink, on the edge juuuust right, so it broke in half, and b) dropped on a tile floor from counter height.
Those who missed this sale can go to the World Kitchen website for some great deals. They are the manufacturers of Corelle, Pyrex, Corningware, etc. They’re always having Buy-1-Get-1-Free sales and Free s/h coupons. I’ve seen 16 piece Corelle sets for as little as $16.99. And you can buy separate pieces as well. When I last shopped there, I was able to get some 10" Corelle plates for only $1.79 each and Pyrex containers for $1.50 (after a Buy-1-Get-1 sale and free s/h coupon).

I ordered a set for a bachelor friend’s new housewarming party. They arrived packaged very securely; double-boxed! Nice job, Woot! Thank you so much! The pattern matched his taupe walls and somehow matched all his new furnishings, such as the rugs and draperies! I wish I had picked up two sets for him so he would have service for 8, instead of just 4. (The pattern I selected was the brown and taupe square patterns with the sea foam green blocks.)
Great intuitive choice and incredibly beautiful!
