Kitchen Aid Cookware: sengWare 4-Piece Uptown Square Dinnerware Set, Pistachio Review

I bought 4 of these sets just over a year ago and am still thrilled. It seems that affordable and durable square plates are very hard to find, especially if you don't want white. A couple of the plates havechipped, but that is our fault (granite counters are hard...).We will replace them eventually, but it's not a huge priority at the moment (I think they have a lifetime guarantee, but don't quote me on that- call sengWare).

I absolutely love the color: though be aware that the photo isn't quite accurate.They are more vibrant than pictured, but no where close to being neon.If you want a better idea of the actual color, go to their website ([...]).Unfortunately a couple of them had some "dirt" baked into the finish, but the people at sengWare were more than happy to replace them (sengWare is located in south Seattle, so I just drove down, but they are happy to do it by mail).

We also decided to buy the pomello (yellow) sugar and creamer set, but since I didn't want to wait for shipping I drove to their store.I got to meet the designer and rummage around in their discounted "seconds."FYI, though the stuff is designed in the US, it is made in China.Normally that might bother me a little, but I love this set so much and it is excellent quality, so I don't care.
