They are a bit heavy but I enjoy using daily as they are so classy looking that I dont feel the difference.

They seem like heavyweight to me and could be used a few times. Not sure how heavy you want it. They are like what you find in the store.

Yes, they feel heavy. Not as heavy as her stoneware but like a normal dinner plate.

They are not quite as heavy as Fiestaware or other stoneware-type dishes I have owned. Neither are they likely to be as durable. They are beautiful. I bought them as a housewarming gift for our daughter. She loves them.

Yes, they are heavier than most other dishes. More durable and beutiful too! I've had mine nearly a year now, and not a single chip or nick.

It is not so cumbersome that it feels heavy when using the pieces, but, yes, they are a heavier set. I have not had any bending with any of the pieces. They are still beautiful after many months of every day use. I love them, and will order another set soon.

They are much heavier than your normal stainless. I had Farberware pots and there is a big difference but the cooking and clean up is much better.

I have the Vanilla Rice set, and I think they are just right. Lighter than stoneware, but feel substantial in the hand. They are not fragile dishes. I have pretty serious Arthritis in my neck, shoulders, and hands, and I have no trouble with them.

As all the others have answered, they are very light. They take up 1/2 the room on the shelf thatmy stoneware did. My hands are not strong anymore, and they are easy for me to lift onto the shelf. Allof the dinner plates, together at one time (8) do not weigh very much. Hope this helps you.

Stoneware. It is heavy duty. I like it. But, it weighs a lot, so if you were looking for something lightweight, this wouldn't be a good choice. I think it makes great coffee.

The set is stoneware. Pretty heavy duty as I am rough on dishes haven't broken one yet!

Yes. They are not heavy, but (in my opinion) the pieces feel solid and have a nice weight to them.

As pretty as these dishes are, you may find them a bit heavy. They are quite sturdy but the mugs maybe too heavy for you to lift easily when filled with tea or coffee.

About the same as stoneware. Really love the dishes. We get many compliments on them.We put them in the dishwasher with no trouble. In shipping, one plate was broke and they promptly replaced it. No problem at all!

no they are not heavy like some aluminum clad, they are very similar to sets from the 70's

I'm not sure, but they are NOT heavy at all. I've got lightweight things on them, but they would probably hold a light skillet or a small pitcher. I've seen that people have cast iron on them, but they seem a little too light, to me, for that.

Hello, PaulaThe dishes are not stoneware. They're some type of pottery (not sure exactly what). I'd say they're medium weight, very similar to Fiesta Ware. In fact, I bought them b/c they reminded me of knock-off Fiesta Ware. We've had them about six months. So far, they've worked out very well. No issues in the dishwasher or microwave.Hope that helps.wf
