Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Corelle Livingware Sandstone 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4
Customer Review: PERFECTLY WONDERFUL DISHES
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay. I ordered these because we had had a number of illnesses the past couple of years ... and this year we felt like we were always sick (and with serious stuff like Flu as well). So, I am into sanitizing the dishes with high heat. I also felt that any of our older dishes might have worn glaze, and wasn't sure high heat would (one) break them, and (two) might not be penetrating enough if the glaze were worn in places.
So, on a doctor's advice, I looked for glass dishes. I saw these dishes in person at a store (higher priced), and loved the color! They are the same color as some Mikasa blanks (fine china that never had a pattern applied) I have as my fine china set. That impressed me. Anyhow, I ordered 12 place settings from here .. and they are gorgeous! They set a beautiful table. They take the high heat of our dishwasher's santitize feature quite well (I've had glass and dishes break from high heat before, so this impressed me). I did get rid of the mugs, as I am buying some glass ones made by Libby at a store nearby. But, they look really nice, and would make anyone happy on the table I think. They seem nice feeling holding them, have a good weight, etc.
Oh, and stacking the dishes is amazing! I think I could easily fit in another 12 place settings easily on top of the 12 I have in our cupboards ... and these are old cupboards with not a lot of room in them.
I highly recommend these dishes to anyone looking for something durable, that can take the high heat of sanitizing, and look great on a table, stack easily away, and are light weight to handle.
Customer Review: Extremely Pleased!

This is one of the single best purchases I've made from Amazon. However, folks should be made aware that the mugs are stoneware and the color isn't an exact match to the dishes.
The Sandstone color is gorgeous and a very classy neutral. These dishes match anything and everything. I plan to coordinate them with my Johnson Brothers Friendly Village around the holidays and they look great together! Great, extra dishes when you have more guests than a matching pattern of dishes.
I take mine out on the deck and use them on a steel grate table. No chips to speak of. These dishes can go anywhere in the dishwasher (top or bottom rack) and no fears of hormone-emitting plastic. These dishes are made from glass and do not interfere with your food or your thyroid. They come with a nice warranty and they are Made in the USA! Yeah! I have also purchased the matching platter and larger bowls. I coordinate them with my other outdoor plates and it always mixes and matches quite well. By the way, the small salad plates that come with this are the perfect size for birthday cake and so lightweight. They are my go-to birthday cake plates.
One last thing is that these take up no room in your cupboard. They stack up perfectly! You will love these dishes!
Customer Review: Like cockroaches, Corelle will survive armageddon
Summary: 4 Stars
Looking at some old family photos over the holidays, I noticed that I've owned various sets of Corelle dishes over the years. Sure I've had others, but I'm clumsy and I chip them and break them and, well, what's left is always the Corelle. So, after checking out the Fiesta Ware and several beautiful but high-priced sets (with replacement pieces available) it really is no surprise that I reverted to this tried-and-true option. Yes, it's kind of blah. True, the cups are made of a different material (and I've already broken one of them). Why are they made of a different material? I don't know. I usually use other mugs anyway (of the 40 or so random mugs floating around my kitchen because some days you just have to begin your day with a mug that reminds you that you turned 50 in Cancun).
I am happy enough with the Sandstone dishes. I can use various colorful serving dishes I've collected over time if I want to pep up my table. They are hardy and inexpensive and sufficient. They are an excellent choice in an uncertain economy. My only problem will be having to decide which of my children will inherit them after I'm gone, for they will surely outlast me.
Customer Review: Excellent product. Great price.
Summary: 5 Stars
I had always wanted a set of Corelle dishes, but they were always too pricey for me. However, since my family started doing "zero waste" parties, etc., I needed to get some dishes which were lightweight, easy to clean and could stack easily in the dishwasher and the cupboard. No more paper plates or plastic for us! I purchased five sets of these dishes as the price was the best I'd ever seen. I LOVE them. I really, really, love them. I have a full set of 20 dinner plates, bowls, and small plates stacked in a very tiny space. They clean up sooo easily, plus I can run the dishwasher less since I can fit in so much more. Not only that, the dishes are quite simple and elegant. I was also very pleased with Amazon, because when two of the sets came damaged, they sent out two replacement sets very quickly and with no hassle. This is the first review I've ever written on Amazon despite being a years-long Amazon consumer. But, hey, that's how much I love those dishes!Customer Review: Glad to be Back to Using Corelle
Summary: 4 Stars
I had read a couple of other reviews of this item stating that the first shipment wasn't packed well, resulting in damaged goods. That happened with my first shipment, too. I found the box on my doorstep, having been left by the carrier. When I picked it up, the broken glass could be heard and felt rolling around in the package. Amazon.com made it right though, and the second shipment was in perfect condition. The dishes go with anything, fit well into the dishwasher (one of my many complaints about the more expensive stoneware I've been using) and are very attractive. I would have given the product 5 stars, but the mugs are stoneware, made in CHINA. The same kind of mugs could be had at a "dollar store" for...well...a dollar. This is a return to Corelle for me, having used it for many years, and thinking I needed to "upgrade" to nicer dishes. No more. I'm sticking with Corelle from now on...
