I never like to leave bad reviews, but I feel it is necessary this time. I purchased an 8 place setting of the country cupboard pattern from pfaltzgraff which qas quite expensive. These are the worst quality dishes I have ever owned. Within 2 days of owning plates were chipping, bowls developed cracks, and my pfatlgraff silverware leaves black marks on the white surface. I am so disappointed. I owned a Naturewood set for almost 20years and NEVER had a dish break or crack ( I gave them to a family member as I was ready for a new theme). I would have been better off buying dishes from walmart for $20.
