LOVE MY PISTOULET!!
By Mom2Three
These are the perfect dishes -- bright, cheerful, sturdy, whimsical. I love the colors! Much of their charm, to me, stems from the fact that they coordinate, but don't match. I have two sets - one blue and one red. They are so fun and happy looking. I ordered mine from another vendor, but they were packaged well, and arrived in great shape. It's only been a few weeks, but they are holding up well in the dishwasher and the microwave. I have owned Pfaltzgraff before, and these seem to live up to the name. No problems so far. If you want warm, happy dishes, you can't go wrong with Pistoulet.

Excellent choice for sturdy dinnerware with color
By Otis
We hesitantly bought this Pflatzgraff pattern after a bad experience with the Pfaltzgraff Napoli Pfaltzgraff Napoli 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4. We ordered from Amazon in case there was breakage like many reveiwers mentioned (besides the fact that we order everything from Amazon). The dishes arrived very well packed - in original Pflatzgraff packaging and then overpacked by Amazon - and all was in excellent order. For a few days we handled the dishes with kid gloves due to the Napoli experience but then fell into our normal routine of rushing through kitchen cleanup, throwing things into the dishwasher, clinking plates and bowls and cups along along the way...just normal everyday banging around (my 16 year old son loads and unloads the dishwasher so careful handling has gone out the door). I am very happy to report that these dishes are holding up very nicely - no chips or breakage, even with a few drops onto countertops and hardwood floors. The dishes have a very bright and cheerful pattern and are well made. I think they will hold up very well. They have gone through about 8 weeks of 3-times-a-day daily use and still look brand new. The dinner plate is average size, the bowls are deep and the cups are the right size for a good cup of coffee. The little dessert bowls are cute (if a man can use that word) and my wife loves to fill them with every kind of new dessert she can think of. I would prefer some of these desserts in the larger bowl myself but that has nothing to do with these dishes...Overall, these dishes look good and are solidly sturdy for everyday use.Update: After almost 1 year of daily use (and abuse) I am happy to report still not a chip to be found. I am duly impressed.Update: January 2011 - 2 years and these still look pretty much like new. Amazingly, not a chip to be found although we lost a bowl (I think one of the kids broke it and didn't tell anyone). However, after 2 years my wife is tired of them and just would like new dishes. These are in perfect shape so they go to the attic...maybe I can sneak them out in a few years when she wants to change dishes again.

Cheerful, sunny dinnerware
By Sacredtouch
I ordered service for 8 and will probably leave half of them packed up for now. I love the colors, the casual theme and the touch of French countryside. Fun!
