LenoxTextured Neutrals Lattice/Leaf 12-PC Dinnerware Set, Service for 4

(almost) Perfect!

I've been looking to replace one of my dinnerware sets for many months now, but since I live waaaay out past the end of civilization, all my looking has been online. I had some requirements that, WHO KNEW, would be next to impossible to meet. They were: quality (not easily broken/chipped, decent finish, etc.) , no mugs/cups (never use them), attractive, and (this was the big road block, as it turned out) bowl shape. I have other sets that have rimmed bowls, or straight sided bowls, or bowls that for one reason or another don't fit in the area for bowls in my dishwasher. This bowl shape worked for me. But, as it worked out, the bowls are about 1/8 inch too tall! Doesn't fit on the top shelf under the bolt holding the spinner. I came THIS close to sending it back. But all thing considered, this was the only set I could find that filled the other requirements - excellent quality (finish is very well done and no knife marks!), attractive (I enjoy the simple, rustic look), and of course, no mugs. So I've kept them and am happy I did. Make a set of 6"ish bowls and this would easily get 5 stars!
