Gibson Soho Lounge Dinnerware set, Square, Blue

Absolutely love this dish set. The coloring looks great even thoigh there is some variation to the coloring in each piece and each piece looks slightly different but they still look great. They are definetly not thin or easily breakable. They are heavier but not to heavy. Very large in size you can fit a little bit of everything for a thanksgiving meal on one plate!!! I have now had 2 sets of these for over 2 1/2 years and have only managed to break one plate and that was only because i accidently knocked our HEAVY glass salt and pepper grinder out of the cupboard 3 ft down directly on the outer part of the plate. The plate did not shatter into glass dust or small pieces, only had 3 large pieces to pick up and throw away. There is no signs of wear and tear or chips on these dishes and like i said ive had tbem for 2 1/2 years and we eat 2-3 meals at hone daily. Very good quality.

Packaging was great and items took a little longer than expected to arrive but that was not a big concern. Many of the previous customers have said they are easy to scratch so you should be careful. The blue plate surface is fine and can take all sorts of fork, spoon, and knife stabs while the bottom black underside of the bowls and plates seem to be a little more fragile. I have no scratches on mine since I use shelving to stack the plates on their own shelf. Being a bachelor, this is a perfect dinner set because you can have a professional modern look to your dinner set whenever company is over and you don't have to eat off of those paper plates anymore! -Blue with Black finish looks amazing. -All glass feels very heavy and compact, the only exception is the larger plate seems a little more fragile. -The cups are great for coffee or tee. -The bowls are nice and deep, perfect for soup or cereal so your spoon won't suddenly slide into your food. (hate that). -The small plate is a great small salad plate or for a child while the larger ones are more than enough for a hungry adult.

I had been watching this product for several weeks and decided to buy not only one set, but two. The color is prettier than the picture, though color close enough. What was a surprise was the dinner plates are larger (but not overly - bigger than some plates) and that was great too as there is plenty of room to cut a piece of meat, for instance, without it falling off the edge. The reason I gave a 1 star for weight is a negative, rather, because this product is heavy - not light. Overall, every thing about this purchase met or exceeded certain criteria and I love it. The shipping was fast, too, and with holidays coming, this is a great way to start the season. My BFF saw my set in blue and she is ordering the red. She couldn't believe what she saw

They look nice, and are different than what I would normally buy. They are quite a bit heavier than previous sets we've had. I ran them through the dishwasher as soon as they arrived and found that the big plates & the bowls are pretty big - bigger than other sets. The big plates are a little hard to fit in the dishwasher - when you load them they are really close & have a tendency to push forward. It worked a little better leaving a space in between. I did drop one of the small plates about 6 inches onto our counter top & broke it. My old set wouldn't do this, but again I think it may be because of the weight of the dishes. My husband actually likes the bowls better than the old set (he can fit more ice cream in them), and I like the bowls better too - give more room for soup or salad without going right up to the edge like our old set. If you love the look of this set, I say go for it - the size & weight would not be enough for me to not purchase.

Good for apartment/student living. Can't really comment on durability and ease of washing in dishwasher (don't have one) since I've only had it for a few weeks. Does it's job in microwave - seems to not heat up too much so that the food actually gets warm. Haven't noticed any scratches after using knife as one person I think wrote a review on before I purchased, but I have super dull knives anyways. I'm happy with them to say the least. Good colors (got the blue surface/black bottom) and nice style. Easy to wash the cups.

Very Nice & sturdy set, love size of the bowls!

July 2022: It's been years. I still have every single piece in use from the set exempting a couple small chips that were my fault. I am not gentle. They have been microwaved, through countless dish washing machine cycle, hand scrubbing, left outside in all sorts of weather and they look exactly the same as the day I bought them (minus a couple of self-induced chips). My review holds up four years later and I continue to highly recommend. I was looking for a dinnerware set for six. I spent a considerable amount of time browsing all over. Buying two sets of these was less expensive than anything comparable in design. Out of the box they look fantastic. The color is spot on and the black finish is stylish and discrete. They feel solid and have a comfortable weight. They look much more expensive than they are. I have only had them for a few days but they all went through the dish washer and hand washing with no damage. They do get hot in the microwave but for me this is not an issue. Honestly I can't see faulting this dinnerware at this price. If you paid a few hundred dollars and they didn't meet expectations in quality then I can see the complaint if you get a chip or they get hot in the microwave. A serving set of four is thirty-five dollars! They are outstanding at twice the price. They look better than sets I looked at many times the price.Even if you're not on a budget I recommend this dinnerware set. If they disintegrate en masse after a few weeks or months I'll update this review.

Me encanto el color, la calidad y la resistencia que tienen, un poco pesados pero nada fuera de lo común... solo que la caja venia sin ninguna protección lo cual corría el peligro de romperse, lo cual por fortuna no paso.

Rock solid pottery, beautiful ... you only really able to buy the Gibson stuff from Amazon if you are in the UK, only seen one other place at over double the price. Only thing is you can't easily get spares, so worth considering buying 2 sets. We have done that, we bought more than one shade to mix and match. Some of their patterns look really cool too ... we just weren't brave enough! Recommended 100%

So this is my first review ever and the only reason I'm reviewing this product is to let people know that no the dishes are not as blue as advertised. However, its still a nice blue just not as dark as advertised. Other than that, best dishes I ever had. Also wait for them to go on sale. I got them for $70 around Nov 2019. $130 is way too much and nit worth it. Wait for the sale!!!

...es ist total empfindlich. Wenn man leicht ran kommt, schlägt schon ein Stück ab. Wirklich schade.

Está Igualita que como se ve en las fotos. Los platos extendidos son muy amplios y los tazones tienen una capacidad de medio kilo de pozole. Las tazas también soportan bastante líquido y en general es una hermosa vajilla que vale muchísimo la pena tener y disfrutar con la familia. Yo estoy muy feliz de haberla comprado y hoy que serví los alimentos, disfruté enormemente el contraste de mi ensalada con el fondo azul.
