Since all of my dinnerware is chipped, I’ve been looking at getting a new set. I really like the Corelle modern lines that are now available. If you go to their website, you’ll see what I mean. I really love mod circles and designs, as anyone who takes a look at my living room carpet can readily see. My absolute favorite is the Rola, which actually matches the carpet, although I’m not certain if matching one’s dinnerware to one’s carpet is really what’s done. Still, who cares? It’s definitely very modern, and I love it.

There’s another reason, though, that I’m looking at getting Corelle. I’ve been reading reviews on some of the dinnerware that I’m interested in, and the reviewers say that it cracks. This seems to be a huge problem with many lines of dinnerware. I noticed on the Corelle website that they offer break and chip warranties on their dishes! How cool is that? I doubt most of these companies could afford to do that, since only the very best stuff seems to last more than a couple of months without showing serious wear and tear.

Corelle also has some really fabulous square dishes that I like. The only problem there is that I have a circular Knoll table, and I don’t think the square plates would look right. It’s definitely a great look for a rectangular table, though.

You can’t beat a warranty on plates, for goodness sake. Especially when the design is good and the price is right. I think I’m going to browse around a bit longer and see what else I like!
