I would like to know how rough the back of the dishes are.

Not rough at all. Actually a little on the protruding part. Great dishes and I'm SUPER picky! Hope this helps!!

The backs of the plates are glazed a smooth plain white except for the actual rim of the base. (The bit which makes contact with the table.) That part is unglazed and feels slightly grainy.

The dishes are stoneware so they aren't super smooth but I really don't find them bad. All the stoneware I've had have had a certain amount due to the firing they go through. I really love the dishes.

They are glazed and smooth except for the raised ring that touches the surface they would be placed on.

I bought the complete set of these dishes. I loved them but the crazing has been terrible. I called the manufacturer and was told this is normal with earthenware/stoneware. I would never invest in earthenware/stoneware again. This has happened on my dinner plates which are never put it microwave. At first I bought replacements but then decided it was costing too much and bought a different set of dishes.

I love the dishes, but do not know if tempered glass as never broke one, but do not care to, although being a glass dish I seriously doubt it

I have some scratches but nothing extreme. I still love the sink and would recommend it. For the price and the quality, its a great product

I have difficulty gripping or holding onto anything, and previously my cupboard was full of chipped dish ware. I decided to make a change, got rid of all the chipped dishes, and gradually started with Fiesta (waiting for a sale each time). It's been about a year, and much to my happy surprise, not a chip or crack has developed. In the past, at least a few dishes would be damaged. And by the way, they were not cheap dishes but a well known high quality brand. You will be pleased with the quality.

The table has been in my 23yr old son's condo for a few weeks. I was there Saturday and there was not even a scratch. My son is less than careful or clean, it has stood up very well so far. He doesn't cook, can't answer about heat. No stains, and he drinks red colored drinks. Sorry I can't be more help.but, he loves it

So far this has been the best cookware we have had. So scratches that I notice. Were careful not to slam them around so to not chip inside the cookware or beat on our stove.

Good question! mine is already installed, so cant measure the rough in. Amazon has an easy return process though, just in case :)

I'm sorry to say, I haven't even used them yet. My house is under construction and it's not finished yet so the dishes are still in the box.

It seems quite sturdy to me. I did find a couple of rough edges on 2 spoons. For the price it is above average in quality.

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

They are sturdy. There are not like a lightweight material. Mine go right in the sink with all my dishes and they withstand it fine. Quality is great!

A full place setting (bowl, plate, mug) and a full jar of jelly. It handled that ok, and my dishes are fairly heavy. It feels flimsy compared to the rest of the piece.

They are hard, like a water bottle hardness. I just had one crack more & leak all over my microwave. I'm very disappointed in the durability.

They aren't terribly sturdy, but on the other hand, because of their softness, I think they would work better than others if the dishes were a little smaller. For the cost I thought they were quite good.

It's hard and shiny. They wash very well in the dishwasher, no issues at all.

No trouble at all. We move it around frequently. Every time I wash dishes I put it down, then put it away.
