I was so pleasantly surprised by the quality look of this product. The subtle matte-white layers over the high gloss, plus the gold trim - make this a lovely addition to the table. And, at a very reasonable price. I'm always happy when I set my table using this set. If you purchase chargers (separately, not included), you can alter the look of your table for any holiday/celebration. The simple white & gold patterns allow you to alter the entire table's decour without conflicting with the plates. My only SLIGHT disappointment is that the bowls are somewhat shallow for my presonal tastes. I do prefer deeper / smaller bowls vs. the shallower/wider bowls. But that is something I can easily work around or live with, considering what I got for my humble investment.
