Question

I am looking to purchase a durable set of dinnerware. Any brands you love? I'm tired of having to replace ours every few years.  

Answer 1

Fiesta ware 5 kids 7 years still in great shape!  

Comments

@narcisanarcissism I love my Fiestaware. We have been using it for 15+ years and it is still going strong. After many drops, I had 1 plate broken because it was dropped onto something sharp. I love the colors and still like the looks of it. I highly recommend Fiesta!  

Answer 2

I have corningware without a pattern. Its pretty indestructible and is fine in hot N cold and dishwasher

Answer 3

We got tired of replacing our dishes every few years as well. We've been really happy with our Corelle, had for about 3 yrs, they are industructable. They've been dropped on the floor and on granite countertops and still have not broken.  

Answer 4

Corelle is basically indestructible. I have had the Target Home plain white ceramic square bowls and plates since 2010 and they have held up great!  

Comments

@mclaughlin3846 I agree that is what we have m. But just be ware putting them I. The dishwasher weakens them over time. Ours are 7 year old and have been dropped a ton with no issues. Until this year. We have broke three this year by my toddler dropping them.

@chromatics really? Mine only go in the dishwasher. I hand wash nothing. It will be 10 years in December and still have a complete set of 12 each with no chips or cracks ‍♀️

---

@mclaughlin3846 I googled it after the first one broke and it said dishwashers weaken them. I was like well great that’s all we use.

And when they break they shatter everywhere.  

Answer 5

Temptations on QVC or her site Temptations by Tara. My kitchen is filled with her dinnerware and bakeware.  

Answer 6

Noritake. Love, love, love! Bought for durability and also bc I don’t really care for round dinner plates (we have the square collection). Heavy-ish, but totally worth it.

Answer 7

If you buy Corelle from the store at the outlet, they’ll replace it for you for free if it breaks. Didn’t know that. I got most of mine at target

Answer 8

Just bought dinnerware from Sur La Table! I love it! Great quality! Dress it up or down!  

Answer 9

I love Fiesta ware! I mix/matched colors and it’s fun! Very durable. In 8 years I’ve lost 1 plate because my son dropped it in the garage. But no chips. And it’s lead free. And made in USA.  

Answer 10

I gave up and bought Corelle. Love it

Answer 11

I’ve used Corelli for 40 plus years. Love it

Answer 12

I had Pottery Barn for years and finally got rid of it after it chipped and it was so heavy. I got Mikasa bone china a few years ago and LOVE it. Very durable and lightweight. And a classic design.  

Answer 13

Corelle is the best! They have a store at the Chicago Premium Outlet in Aurora. You’d have to wait until they reopened of course but they have sooooo many patterns/shapes. They take up so much less space than those big honkin’ ceramic ones and they are indestructible.  

Answer 14

Ikea. The set was very inexpensive and has lasted for the last 5 years with two kids. Nothing has every broken either.  

Comments

@phosphorate agreed I have had mine for YEARS and they still look new and we use them daily.  

Answer 15

Yeah, I bought my Corelle from Kohl’s in 2007 when I finished undergrad. It’s still going strong! The everyday silverware could be replaced though.  

Comments

@connected love my Correlle!  

Answer 16

I’m tossing my fiesta. Loved it but now it’s very scratched and worsening. I’m on the lookout for good, dishwasher/microwave safe dish ware. To be fair, we’ve owned them 5-7 years or so.  

Comments

@fluviomarine I'm interested to know what Fiestaware you want to get rid of.  

Answer 17

Corelle for almost 50 years. I’ve still got some from my first set.  

Answer 18

I actually bought clear glass plates for $1wa at the dollar store & love them (will be 8 hrs in Sept). I found Anchor Hocking clear glass accessories at WalMart- bowls $1 ea.  

Answer 19

Love my Fiestaware!

Answer 39

Where are you ladies getting your Denby? Mine came from England with me over 20 years ago . very durable still Looks great

Answer 40

Fiestaware for sure. You can mix the colors which are beautiful. I’ve used this brand for over 25 years and never broke one (and believe me I’ve dropped a couple for sure)

Answer 41

Noritake Colorwave has proven to be a go-to. I also have Crate and Barrel Wilder - it breaks so easily.  

Answer 42

Stay away from Phaltzgraff. They used to be good but not any more. They scratch easily and chip.  

Answer 43

Honestly, dollar tree is the answer. It's expensive otherwise to buy new place settings and this way is cheap enough to replace when you get tired of them. Order online.  

Answer 44

We love our Kate Spade set! Had them for years and still going strong!  

Answer 45

Corelle! They are lightweight and don’t break easily. They also aren’t too hot to handle after use in the microwave. Tons of designs! There is a Corelle store at the Aurora Outlet Mall or you can shop online.  

Comments

@stalkinghorse I second Corelle! Plus they stack so easily!  

---

@abattoir True! I used to have 12 fiesta style plates and now I can fit twice as many plates!  

Answer 46

Apilco Tradition from Williams Sonoma. 15 years and counting.  

Answer 47

Crate and Barrel

Answer 48

I bought IKEA dishes for my kids away at college (boy/girl twins). Both have their complete sets after years & living with others.  

Answer 49

I love Alipco it's porcelain made in France you can get it at William Sonoma.  

Comments

I second this if they're in price range (they're not cheap but made possible as wedding gifts for us). We've had them for 13 years and replaced 2 salad plates and 1 bowl, and I'm really clumsy. Plus, you can replace a piece here and there without much worry that the style will be gone.  

Answer 50

As others have mentioned, our classic white Crate and Barrel collection has also lasted 13 years now and our Corelle has lasted 10 years !  

Answer 51

We’ve had our classic white C & B set since our wedding almost 22 years ago. Over the years, a few pieces have been broken and we’ve always been able to replace them easily. I’d say we have over 95% of the original pieces. Highly recommend!  

Answer 52

Costco! No idea what brand but they have several cute sets. We bought recently and love them

Answer 53

I just got a new set at Pier One.  

Answer 54

Crate and barrel

Answer 55

It’s not fancy, but I love our Corelle for everyday use. It’s sturdy, not heavy and has lots of options for different plate/bowl sizes and accessories.  

Answer 56

Fiestaware; and it's made in the USA.  

Answer 57

Mikasa, by far are great. The only dishes I’ve had that don’t break when I drop them! Ha. I’ve gone through sets before too. These will last.

Crate and Barrel outlet, Ikea, and I don't know if they still sell it but my Mikasa stone craft is 12 years old with no chips or scratches.
