Review of Le Cadeaux Triple Weight Melamine 12" Dinner Plate

I love, love, LOVE my Le Cadeaux Melamine dishware!!!This is a great investment for your every day pleasure, bringing a touch of French influence and beauty to your dinner table.


The dishes are so distinctive that I get many compliments every time I bring them out.Even my husband likes them.The designs are so elegant that people don't even realize these are high quality plastic dishes on first sighting. When they pick them up, they are even more impressed!

I own the lemon pattern cereal/salad bowls and luncheon plates and I paired them with the solid gold dinner plate. Because the solid colors are so vivid, it's a lovely match. In addition to the dinnerware, I have the platters in both the gold and lemon patterns and I also have the large salad bowls. Since these are unbreakable dishes, they transport well for parties and pot luck luncheons, so I use them often.


Warning: Before buying, you should note that the dinner plates appear to come in two sizes: 11" and 12".

Review of Wilton Armetale Flutes and Pearls Cake Stand

I bought this cake stand as a housewarming gift.It was even prettier in person and made a lovely gift.My friend loved it and keeps it out all the time.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Wilton Armetale Flutes and Pearls Cake Stand

Product Description:
Made with Armetale metal, the product will not rust, tarnish, crack, chip, or dent.Armetale serveware is food safe and can be used serving cake or hot and cold tapas. This design is a reproduction and adaptation of an 1821 candlestick base designed by Mr Karl Friedrich Schinkel of the Prussian Empire. The design incorporates Greek, Gothic and Roman influencesinto a grand style that is intended to dazzle with boldness and beauty to express the harmony possible between art and technology, ancient and contemporary. Slightly more formal than many of the other patterns by Wilton Armetale, the classically sculpted effect is adaptable to accessorize a wide variety of classical home decorations and dinnerware patterns. The placement of the elements together directs the eye in a relaxed glance around the smooth center while mirroring itself and objects placed on the highly polished piece. The overall effect combines traditional shapes and elements with a sparkling 21st century interpretation. Its refined classical elegance is unparalleled in today's casual environment, yet is made so practical with Wilton Armetale.

Review of Soho Set of 6 Cereal Bowls - Red

This review is not for the bowls, which look fine, but for inadequate packing materials. Two arrived completely broken.

Review of Fiesta 421 Small Mixing Bowl 7.5", 44oz

I love these bowls, which seem to me to have a Revere-bowl shape... possibly not consistent with the art deco lines of classic Fiesta, but a pleasant shape nonetheless.

Although these are labeled as "mixing bowls", they are way more versatile than that... I more often use mine for serving bowls. (I don't really like the Fiesta flat-bottomed bowl style.) I got a full set of small, medium, large a few years ago and have found that I use them enough that I wanted more than one, so I've added a few more of the small and medium in different colors. (The large is less precious because I have other serving bowls that size.)

Review of Ginkgo Bergen 45-Piece Flatware Set, Service for 8

We got this flatware along with our new dishes and are extremely happy with it.

As some of the other reviewers have mentioned these utensils are solid, you can feel it as soon as you pick them up. They have nice balance and they have strength (Neo would have a tough time bending this spoon).
The included serving utensils are just as nice and just as sturdy.

The brushed steel has a soft satin look and feel to it and the pieces are nicely shaped. I never really liked the intricate, grandma style flower patterns that my mom always had on her silverware, which makes me like these even more.

We use these every day and I have to say I feel a bit spoiled, while they wont be the most expensive pieces of flatware you ever use, I have gotten used to them and tend notice how flimsy most silverware is now.

They are simple, elegant, sturdy and worth the money.

Review of Mikasa Arabella Stoneware 20Pc Service For 4

I purchased 2 sets of this stoneware for everyday use because my wife was tired of looking at our 20 year old Corelleware. I had purchased and still have another service for 8(different Misaka) when I was in Scottsdale, Arizona a few years ago for $500. I must admit, my both sets arrived promptly with no damage and are extremely elegant looking. There are only two adults in our household, so I really am not concerned about the breakage factor. My most pleasant surprise was the $112 price for the service for eight! This was just fantastic. A service for one( 5 piece) is still being sold on this site for $50. Why not buy this set for $6 more?

Review of Unique Housewarming Good Luck Birthday Gifts Guy Girl - 6" Ming Chinese Porcelain Rice Bowl - 3 Designs

As advertised, these are the right size for ramen, udon, etc. Blue dragons aren't the easiest motif to find, for some reason. Slightly below this in quality, there's a line of "rice" pattern tableware from China that looks interesting, and going up from here, you might find discontinued fine china patterns like Mikasa's Imperial Dragon, which is gorgeous. These bowls are about the only thing in between. That's hard to believe, but I've scoured the net, and there it is.

The picture does not reflect the true color of the glaze, which is a pale green, milky-jade crackle glaze-- nice, but not what I thought I was getting. No one will mistake this for Ming Dynasty porcelain, but it's fine for everyday use.

They're listed here for about $20, and I would have paid that if I'd had to, but you can find them for less than half that elesewhere on the net. Just be prepared to wait a few weeks.

Review of Tablecraft HR112 European Salid Set

I LOVE this cruet set. It is perfect!It carries 5 condiments which all are very easy to dispense without leakage and dipenses at a perfect flow. Instead of filling the cheese one with cheese we fill it with crushed pepper instead.At dinner time it ALL comes to the table and everyone helps themselves to this variety or whatever you choose to fill in these. It carries it ALL in one trip, how much better can it get?Before,I had to bring the oil and vinegar as one, then the salt and pepper, and whatever else.It's great for parties too. I never liked the oil and vinegar cruets with the dainty lids you'd have to lift off, being careful not to pour too much, then putting the top back on. This is so practical and easy and also easy for kids.It has a good finish; the type that appears not to tarnish. It is also very well made!LOVE IT!!!!!!!

Review of iittala Tools Piano 5-Piece Place Setting, Service for 1

For a while, we've been looking for the most satisfying and unique flatware for our daily use and also for casual/formal parties. It finally ended and in the process, we ended up owning 3 different sets. Two of them are made by iittala, a Finland company who makes their products in finland and not in CHINA.

After checking out lot of local department stores we first got Villeroy & Boch New Wave Flatware set which we returned as it didn't feel good in hand. Now, after owning iittala, New Wave looks terrible.

After lot of browsing and research online and in local stores, we ended up owning WMF Taika Flatware for daily use as amazon has incredible deal on 43-piece set. WMF is a European company but the flatware is made in China.

For formal parties, we got iittala's Artik Flatware set. This set has very similar finish to Piano flatware and is more affordable for us.

Then, we were very fortunate to find a bargain deal on Piano dinner forks and knives from a charity organisation that sells on ebay! Of the three, we like Piano the most. No wonder the price is high! It sure shows in the finish and style of the product. The stainless steel has a very vibrant shine to it and the handles are thick and very very comfortable to hold. They are not heavy since the inside of the handles is hallow but the outside of it is so thick that it feels as if its not hallow inside.

This set is sure to get more attention than anything else you put on the table to guests.In fact, iittala suddenly seems to be our favorite brand for kitchen. Amazon just started to carry lot of their products and I placed an order for their daily use drinkware.

Review of Fiesta 11-Inch Egg Tray

This is the second version of the egg tray which Homer Laughlin China just added to the Fiesta line.It is a smaller, much more functional egg platecompared yo its predecessor- the 13" egg plate (now discontinued).This is a much easier plate to hold and to store.The eggs fit perfectly into the slots and its an overall more pleasing presentation.Don't want to wash it by hand?Just pop it in the dishwasher.This smaller size fits in with the plates (unlike the awkward, clunky discontinued version).This is highly recommend to anyone looking for a truly durable, colorful and functional egg plate.Its made of vitrified china so you don't need to worry about it getting dinged at your next get together.Its tough stuff!Highly recommended!

Review of Mikasa Parchment Teacup

I ordered this "teacup" and discovered when it arrived that it is the cup only, not the saucer.Never imagined they would be sold separately.There is another record on Amazon that shows the cup only, but at the time my search did not turn it up or I would have known.Since I need the saucer, I called Macy's and asked to exchange for the saucer.The only way this could be done would be to return the cup, and order the saucer, paying another shipping charge of course. Also, the shipping for the cup would not be refunded.When I explained that the picture shows cup and saucer, I was told this was an Amazon problem not a Macy's problem.

Review of sengWare Set of 4 Mugs - Heaven

The item is fine functionally but if you're buying online you are limited to the color displayed on the screen alone to judge from.I viewed this item on several different sites and screens hoping that the color was exactly as shown.Wrong. Too bad for me the color (heaven) is not as shown, it's more of a faded baby blue.Way off in my opinion.

Review of Villeroy & Boch Twist Alea Bread and Butter Plates

I have Mikasa Italian Countryside dishes and wanted a more mixed look for casual dining, that picked up colors from my decor and decided to use the b&b plates as color accents.I knew that Twist Alea Limone b&b plates would be perfect the minute I saw them.Unpacked, the colors are vibrant and glowing, but the geometric design keeps them from being overwhelming.I'm partial to plates with white centers- these look lovely with the Mikasa set.Delivery was incredibly fast, the plates were carefully packed and arrived without a single chip or smudge.The quality is superb.And Amazon offered the best price anywhere!
