Do they scratch over time?

I hand wash mine, they still look great. Dish washer I believe would scratch them....I love them!

No. We have our second set in eight years. They're rather artistic and quite hearty.

I've had plates, salad plates, bowls and coffee mugs for several months now, have used them daily for all meals, have no damage whatsoever. So I would say that you're safe in their not scratching. I love them. Just never put them in the microwave unless they are at room temperature (meaning if you've stored something on them in the frig, move the food to another plate that is at room temperature if you need to heat the food up in the microwave).

Of course, they are glass. However, they are barely noticeable. I've had them for quite a while now, and entertain a lot. So, that's oodles of forks and knives working against the dinnerware. They still look GOOD! We snowbird between New England and Florida, and have FULLY outfitted our 2 homes with the entire Libbey sets. They compliment our different style homes beautifully. I would never want to use anything but clear dinner and glassware again. And this style is perfect for us. (And I also own Royal Doulton, but, I really like the Libbey better.) I'll tell you a decorating technique I use: I decorate the whole table by placing a festive paper napkin under the plate and silverware along side the plate, sans napkin. The whole table lights up with the colorful, themed napkins showing thru. I like these so much, I buy them as wedding shower gifts. And the recipients love them, too.

Our home has hardwood floors and I haven't noticed any scratches occurring from these feet. They are hard plastic, so rough or extended play on the floors could foreseeably result in a scratch. Ideally, these work better on carpet or a rug, since they could slide around more on the hard floor.

Yes they do; but they scratch really easy. That sucks. I only got to wear them one time.

I bought this for my granddaughter in February 2014. So far...no. No scratching - but she uses screen protectors on her Kindle.

I'm not sure but I know it's a high count. I've washed them many times now and they haven't shown any indicative of becoming scratchy

I have no scratches yet but I'm sure eventually with regular usage they will get some wear and tear.

They get scratched a little bit with use, I haven't observed any melting so far.

They should not scratch any surfaces. They are made of plastic. They are a bit more slippery on smooth surfaces than carpet though. My son got the hang of it first on carpet and then I let him in the (linoleum) kitchen.

I found this link. Basically they will scratch if you slide them from what I gather. Good luck.http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/cookware/msg010049447701.html

I don't believe they're scratch resistant. However, I've own my chairs for 6 months in my sewing room and so far no scratches. The chairs are used daily and they're holding up beatifully!

I find them to be soft enough that I have had no problems with them scratching my discs. I have used them for 8 years now.

I have not had a problem with scratching. If it does the paint is very durable.

I use sharp knives on them all of the time. It scratches them, but they (I have four) have held up for at least four years.

No, nothing I noticed. They've been in place over a year now and show no signs of wear.

No, they are not scratch resistant. We use ours Dailey at our kitchen table and they have some scratches on them but I've had them about a year and they have stood up fairly well!

We have had several scratches too! We have bought some sink mats to prevent scratching.
