Gibson Home Oslo Porcelain Chip and Scratch Resistant Dinnerware Set, Service for 4 (16pcs), Plates and Bowls Dishes Sets, White

I bought two sets and I LOVE them. I’ve always used a pasta bowl and have never been able to find a dish set that has them included but this one does! The little bowls are also a great size for soups, cereals, or chilis. And the lip on the plates is fantastic for serving children, or messy eaters, saucy foods.I do think they are a little heavier than I’d expect a dinner set to be but it’s not too bad that I’d get rid of them. Kind of makes them seem more expensive in my mind.Dishwasher and microwave safe, never had a problem with chipping. And they are packaged incredibly well.

First - keep in mind how much you’re spending on this product. There are slight imperfections with the glazing on a few pieces which are noticeable if you’re closely examining a dish/bowl. Everything was packaged really well. They are made in China which I had neglected to look for before purchasing. I normally prefer to buy from elsewhere.I got the service for four, white with black trim. Great purchase. I appreciate that the raised rim will prevent any spills if a plate gets tilted when carrying. Although a bit of a modern shape it doesn’t ‘scream’ modern. I also have Lenox Butterfly Meadow and these will blend seamlessly with the serving pieces (I haven’t spent time seeing if I like to mix the plates/bowls with one another). They do have a bit more weight to them than I expected. If weight is a top factor in decision making I would suggest shopping in person. I’m keeping my set and believe they will hold up well. I’m pleased.

We love these white-and-blue dishes and their Danish-inspired style perfectly complements our kitchen. The bowls are a great size for soup or oatmeal. One of the plates does have a small chip on the underside.

After 25. years of using wedding dishes we decided to start fresh. I chose these for their simplicity. I am able to dress them up or down with placemats, napkins etc. They stack really well in the cabinet and take up much less room than our previous dishes. The white makes them easy to use for any occasion . They also fit better in my dishwasher.

I really like the weight of these dishes - they are pretty heavy and I’m hoping durable. They are very stylish, I love the lip. Four stars because one of the small plates had a defect. It wasn’t bad enough to return all of them, but I should have reached out to customer service to see if they would have sent a replacement. Too late now…still love them!

This is my 3rd move and 3rd time buying these dishes, I love them that much! Worth it. Quality is great, shipping is always perfect, I love the white simplicity of them, they go with everything. All the sizes are excellent and versatile, I use the larger bowls for serving and eating, very useful! They stack very nicely on top of each other.

Love this set! say no to plastic and live healthy by getting this set and price is fair.

I bought two sets of these dishes to replace my 10-year-old everyday stoneware. I’ve only been using them for about a week so I can’t speak to durability, but they seem heavy, solid, and probably able to withstand daily use pretty well.Pros:1. Well packaged, all 32 pieces arrived intact without chip or blemish.2. High-gloss finish (although this could be a negative for some, I wasn’t expecting it and would have preferred a more matte finish but in re-reading the description, it says glossy—and it really is so I guess it’s accurately described)3. Love the dinner/pasta bowl and that is the main reason I chose this set—rare to find a reasonably priced set that includes both pasta and cereal bowls. It’s very plain bowl, as you would expect, but it’s well sized and very functional. Feels good in the hands and looks nice on the table.4. It’s a very heavy set. Again this could be a negative (it was for me, I was expecting a more porcelain-type feel and weight), but if you’re used to stoneware or ceramic and like that heft, you’ll love this set.Cons:1. Lots of minor imperfections and irregularities in individual pieces. If they were hand glazed or hand finished or whatever, that would be fine, but it speaks to a lack of quality control in manufacturing and makes them look and feel cheap. Which, let’s be honest, they kind of are for the number of pieces you get, so I guess you get what you pay for. But if you’re looking for a set that can do double duty on the kitchen table and the dining table, this isn’t it. I would not use these for anything but casual dining, just too clunky and cheap-looking. It also makes me worry about longevity and durability.2. The Gibson stamp and writing on the underside of the plates smears and begins to disappear after just a few turns through the dishwasher. Probably not a big deal since most people won’t inspect the bottom of their plates but again, it indicates a cheapness that I find unexpected and off-putting. I didn’t expect Mikasa or Lenox quality at this price, but I did expect something nicer than you could buy by the piece at ikea or Walmart. This feels very much like the latter so I feel like it’s misrepresented as to what you’re actually getting. And because of that, I don’t think the price is all that great. You can get similar plates at Walmart for about $2 each for dinner and appetizer plates and the quality is about the same. So these feel overpriced for the quality of the set. If the pasta bowls weren’t included, I would have given this set 1-2 stars but that addition brings the value up a bit just because they are so hard to find at a good price because they’re so trendy right now.3. The white is more of a grayish white—which again might be fine if that’s what you’re looking for. I was hoping for a true white, my tableware and linens are in warm tones. The grayish cast is very noticeable in sunlight and normal kitchen lighting.Bottom line:This set is budget priced but presents as cheap—I feel like it’s a step below what you would expect at this price point. It’s probably fine for casual dining, you get a very nice variety of pieces to suit most needs. But it would look very out of place alongside your nice serving pieces on the dining table. In retrospect, I would not buy again but repacking and returning is too much work. Not really happy with this purchase but might be equal parts my fault for expecting an actual bargain and the manufacturer’s for representing this as something more than cheap ceramic dinnerware.
