Fiesta 5-Piece Place Setting, Peacock
Great, except for scratches.
These are well-designed, durable dishes, but the darker colors do tend to show scratches. When stacked, the rough bottom of one plate can scratch the plate beneath it. This is a problem with the newer style Fiesta more than the "vintage" Fiesta which had more glaze on the bottom, and a problem with new dishes more than those which have been through the wash many times. When stacking these dishes in the cupboard, especially when they are brand new, you might want to put coffee filters between the plates to minimize scratching.
I wrecked them 2 weeks in 
I absolutely love the colors and look of these dishes, and they are very heavy and seem very durable. We registered for cobalt, plum, cinnabar, and periwinkle settings for our wedding and just started using them 2 weeks ago when we returned from our honeymoon. We’ve been stacking them in the cupboard just like any dishes because they certainly looked like they could handle it, but yesterday I noticed that many of them are covered with scratches from being stacked! I can’t believe it! They are deep enough that they can’t be rubbed away and are really noticeable on my dark dishes. I’m so bummed; I didn’t have any idea that stacking them would wreck them (never bothered any of my other dishes), and there weren’t any special care instructions that came with the dishes. So while these are fantastic, I would take into consideration that they apparently destroy each other in the cupboard
Very durable and kid/family friendly
This is in addition to my previous review, which I said I couldn’t get enough of this. I still give it 5 stars. Fiestaware is so durable–I swear it is unbreakable. I hope I don’t jinx myself. Anyway, my 13-month old got a hold of the placemat and pulled it down, along with the dinner plate. I thought my heart was going to break, but amazingly nothing happened to the fiestaware, not even a nick. And we have porcelain tile floors, where if something drops on it, it’s in pieces. This just tells you how durable Fiestaware it, and the whole family can enjoy using it. It is very worth it.
