Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Corelle Livingware Sandstone 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4
Customer Review: Excellent value!
Summary: 5 Stars
My mom had Corelle dishes when I was young, and has often talked about how great they were. So when I decided to replace a set of dishes that had some chips and missing pieces, Corelle seemed like a good choice. I received my set the other day and am extremely pleased so far. The dishes are so thin that they take up almost no room when stacked in a cupboard. The sandstone color is soft and neutral, being just a little warmer than a basic white. Even though the dishes are thin and lightweight, they look tasteful and durable (not cheap). I do wish the mugs were made out of the same material (they are earthenware), but overall I would highly recommend this set to anyone! I wish that Amazon had more accessory items to go with this set-I'll be keeping my eyes open for them!Customer Review: Excellent dishes for a family with busy boys
Summary: 5 Stars
I got my dishes today (I ordered 2 of these) and LOVE them already. I forgot how slim and lightweight Corelle dishes are. They will stand up to my boys trying to help in the kitchen but they are nice enough for all of us to use. I had an old set of Corelle when I got married and since I got new dishes I got rid of the Corelle because they were old (why oh why did I do that???). So, after many years of trying other dishes and having many of them break or burn our hands after being in the microwave I bought these off Amazon.
They are a basic beige color so they will go with any kind of linen or decoration. I also love the fact that they are made in the USA. Unfortunately, the stoneware mugs are made in China but the dishes said USA on them.

I'm a late bloomer when it comes to using Corelle. My mom used heavy dinnerware, and I followed suit, always thinking lightweight plates were tacky. Then Corningware started coming out with beautiful patterns and shapes...I bought my first set then and loved them ever since. I bought these as a starter set for a graduating son--nothing fancy, inexpensive and a nice neutral color, yet not white.
These dishes do break, although it takes some doing. When that happens, it is a shattered, sharp mess. The upside comes in dealing with the company who makes them. Wonderful service and replacement (even free if they break soon after purchase). Put together attractive durability and top-notch service and you have one great product.
Customer Review: Perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
I researched dinnerware for months (!) and decided on Corelle...and I am SO glad I did. I ordered three sets and they arrived in perfect condition, are light as a feather and stack so well I actually bought a shelf device for the cupboard and got double the space as a result. The main reason I wanted Corelle was I got fed up with burning my fingers on dishes and bowls from the microwave. This dinnerware lets the food heat up but is only hot where the food or liquids actually are, so the edges where you pick up are cool to the touch. Yes! The cups in the set are stoneware, unlike the rest of the set, but this is no problem. They match perfectly and I guess there's a reason they had to make them stoneware (they heat up great too).Customer Review: Beautiful set. Goes with everything. Wish mug bottoms were wider.
Summary: 4 Stars
Lovely dish set. No one needs to know - or will guess how little you paid.
I wish the mugs had bases just as wide as the rims (the base is just slightly narrower)- which makes me a tad hesistant with the coffee placed right next to the computer (tipping risk just a smidge higher) but that's my only miff with the product.
The color is very true "international foods vanilla coffee creamer" color - really, go make coffee and add some creamer - there ya go. Warmer than the photo, but not darker. Perfect.
Although dinner plates are very very large and the salad plates are very very small(for me) being more like snack plates - I am happy with this purchase however. Very.
