Another "nice, but..."Oct 06, 2009
By Cynthia Eenigenburg
I totally agree with a previous reviewer. I love how these look, but they DO chip REALLY, REALLY easily. I've only had these for about 6 months...almost every piece that we use regularly has ended up with a chip somehow. Albeit, little ones, but there are multiple chips on some pieces. And I too am not sure where they come from...they just "appear." :( This is disappointing.

 Nice, but....Aug 18, 2009
By puzzled
They chip REALLY REALLY easily. I'm VERY careful with handling my dishes--I don't put them in the microwave so as not to make them brittle or whatever. I wash them in the dishwasher, so I'm not chipping them in the sink. I don't get it.

Don't buy this set if you want to use them for more than a year!Jun 13, 2010
By BookSeller
I wish I had read the other reviews before I bought two sets. They CHIP SO EASILY it is ridiculous. One bowl was chipped the first day I had them - and now, six months later - almost every piece has been chipped. In addition they do overheat badly in the microwave - my husband and I have both burned our hands on them.
These dishes are beautiful - but really - dishes are useless if you can USE them. I bought these dishes to replace a 10 year old set of everyday dishes that I was tired of - and shopped for a while to find a color and pattern that I really liked. Looks like I will be shopping for another set again soon.

 Not even 1 star --CHIPSJan 22, 2010
By ThriftyUrbanMom
These are the worst crafted plates in the pfaltzgraff line. Look nice when new. I have had them for a year and almost half are chipped. They chip without any improper handling, I am a 34 year old and am not rough on my dishes or mugs. A waste of money. THUMBS DOWN

Very pretty design but they chip very, very easilyNov 04, 2010
By Audry A. Patterson
Rated a 1 because 0 was not an option.
I purchased (4) 16 piece sets (service for 16) in May. Within weeks I began noticing small chips around the edges of the dinner plates primarily, but also the bowels and salad plates. I know I am very careful with my dishes (my old everyday set was used for 8 years and has one chipped plate and one chipped bowl) so I do not believe I am the problem. Five months later 10 dinner plates, 4 bowls and 5 salad plates have chipped. Unfortunately, while the chips may be small they can be seen easily because of the outer brown band. So my 5 month old dishes look 25 years old. Out of the 19 dishes with chips only one was "justified" as my sister did bang the plate somewhat hard against the sink. Sadly, since I am the only one who ever does dishes at my house I know firsthand that the dishes have not been mishandled. It takes only a light "touch" (normal everyday life stuff) between dishes for them to chip.
I contacted Pfaltzgraff as I believe the dishes are the problem. At first they seemed interested in helping but in my final e-mail with them they recommended that I not let the dishes touch each other. Huh? How would I do that? In my 50 foot cabinet where I lay them next to each other? Carrying them individually when I set or clear the table? I do not believe I have ever heard of dishes that cannot touch each other. Their response was ridiculous.
So I am online now looking for new dishes after spending more than $500 on this set (plus $250 more for all the serving pieces). It is too late to return them so I will mark this up as a big mistake and I will never purchase another Pfaltzgraff item in my life.
