Stone Lain Albie 16-Piece Dinnerware Set

This is a 3-month in review. I bought the Stone Lain 16 Pieces Two-Tone Color Glaze without Rim Stoneware Round Dinnerware Set during the Black-Friday sales. Our family consist of 4 members and all of us use these plate-wares everyday extensively.DeliveryNormally when I order stuff from Amazon it arrives within a day or two, some may take maximum about a week. This one though came after a month wait and although I was expecting broken pieces within the shipment, surprisingly every single of the 16pcs came intact and unspoiled. The delivery box had chinese letters on meaning it probably was shipped directly from China? Eitherways glad that the pieces were intact.DurabilityHonestly I was half expecting them to break after seeing so many negative reviews, even though stone-wares are supposed to be heavy and robust. Out of packet build quality seems to be top notch, however I remembered seeing so many reviews with broken pcs of ware after micro-waving. Naturally we started to use the pieces inside microwave for 20-30s and gradually started to increase at around 1 min mark. To my surprise, not only do these pieces stay relatively cool even after 1min microwaving but I have yet to have any crack inside the micro-wave. Food does get warmed decently well too although it would struggle if the food is just out of the refrigerator. Nowadays though we warm food items on these plate wares for more than 1min30s inside microwave without experiencing any problems.SturdinessThese plates are heavy, so when they do bump on things they give out a deeper sound compared to thinner porcelain wares. Also I fear they may break thinner wears after accidental bumps since they feel so robust. Till now though haven't experienced any chips on the corners after extreme use. Also knifewares havent scratched on the surface of any plates yet, atleast not visible to eye.CleaningWe dont use the dishwasher, only hand-cleaning. These are extremely easy to clean since left over food dont seem to stick on them at all.Overall, extremely satisfied with the purchase and would recommend, however I am still aware that Im lucky to have them shipped over without any broken pieces. So I cannot comment on the customer service aspect.
