This is my second set of pfaltzcraft dishes. My first set I had for almost 20 years and am very satisfied. I purchased the merisella pattern for my new house. In less than a year, they have chipped, leave marks on the dishes when stacked in the cabinet, and are NOT microwaveable even though it says it. I have a damaged Ethan Allen table to prove it and that was through a quilted placemat. Don’t waste your money! I went back to the company for replacement or anything! They told me 30% off something else..which the website was offer that to anyone. I countered with 50% and they said no...lost me as a customer forever! Know anyone who wants to buy a used set of Merisella dishes including serving platter and bowl! HA!
