Smaller than expected
My husband and I registered online for this platter when we got married earlier this year. When we received it we loved the color and finish on the platter - it was as we expected it would be. The only thing that we were surprised about was the size (yes, it does list it in the product description), we just didn't pay attention to that detail until we saw it in person. It's about the size of a piece of printer paper – so you might want to pick up a second one :)

Great everyday china
Received this china as a wedding gift, and so far it's held up fine to everyday use, including dishwasher and microwave. We haven't had an overwhelming problem with plates tipping; would definitely recommend these plates if you like their look.

Versatile, beautiful
This platter has been a mainstay of all of my gatherings for the past 3 years. The size and shape makes it so versatile, I use it often for a small antipasti tray or for veggies like asparagus. The Nuit collection is quite beautiful and blends well with both my casual and formal settings.

Great for everyday
Great everyday dinnerware - really durable, good sizes and nice color - they can really mix in nicely with other pieces.

Great look
I really love this set. The color, shape and functionality of the entire line is amazing, and I've already received many compliments. The only downside is that while they are "microwave safe", they do heat up considerably, so I wouldn't use them in the microwave. That said, I'd buy them again and recommend them to anyone.

So Glad We Picked These!
We chose Nuit as our dinnerware to start our dinnerware collection. We don't have a dishwasher in our new apartment, but this dinerware is so easy to clean and so perfect. It doesn't scratch, it's nice and heavy so even when I hand wash it and it may hit the side of the sink, it doesn't chip or crack. The issue of the plates titling has not been a problem for us. The small bowls are perfect for a side salad. All in all I love this dinnerware.

Lovely for entertaining
This was purchased for my neice as a shower gift. I was attracted to the platter because of it's size which is perfect for casual entertaining. I was impressed by the feel and subtle color. I can see her using it time and again for entertaining family and friends.

Unique Piece
We love the size and versatility of this piece of the collection. The glazing is beautiful and the wide edge makes it great to serve everything from vegetables to garlic bread.

great platter
good size, gorgeous color! If you like to cook, you should get this one for your collection. I can say this is the best platter I have.

Love the dinnerware except...
We love our Nuit Dinnerware. It's attractive and stands up to the microwave and dishwasher with no chips or breaks. The only problem is the dinner plates have a small base and if you try to cut anything around the edge of the plate it will tip over.

Love!
We purchased this set over 6 years ago and still love.
I have not experienced tipping issues. Sure if you are attacking your food, the plate is going to tip.
My husband is clumsy and broke a couple pieces so, I was pleased to see the dishes are still around and look forward to purchasing more.

10 years and still going strong!
We registered for this for our wedding 10 years ago and still love it as much as I did then. It has the look of pottery but is very durable. Classic and timeless. I just ordered another set and I do like the updated style but I have to admit that the slight tipping of the plates while cutting food never bothered me.

looks great, performs poorly
We really loved the look of these plates, but have been very disappointed. We had 2 bowls break in a one minute cycle in the microwave, despite being listed as microwave safe. But more frustrating is the design of the plate. They have a very narrow base, and any time you try to cut or even fork into food that is not in the center of the plate, rocking the plate, making lots of noise and sometimes launching food.
Looks great! Mugs, small plate, and bowl are functionally great, but the dinner plate is a total disappoint.

Wedding Registry MUST!
My husband and I couldn't be more thrilled with our 8 piece set... actually 9 piece. We received an extra one at our wedding and figured the more the merrier. The color scheme is beautiful and pictures really don't do it justice. It's a classy style that will pass the test of time. It's not too trendy and rumor has it that the color blue acts as an appetite suppressant... so it also helps with portion control :) I read reviews saying that the plates tend to tip when food is at the edge. This is true, but it is really easy to control. It isn't as traumatic an event as described. We couldn't be happier!

Great Design/Color/Style
We love these plates, we registered for these on our wedding registry. We love using the plates. As others have reviewed in the past these plates are a little hard to eat out of when you're cutting a piece of meat and it's not in the middle of the plate, but we've found ourselves accommodating it and having/cutting our meat in the middle, etc. Another thing to note is the bottoms of the bowls scratch easily since they are hand made. But I still love them either way!

Looks great but...
The base of the plate is too small and the plate tips all the time!!! Great to look at but that's about it. I'm very disappointed.

Redesigning the product!
I just spoke to employees at Crate & Barrel who told me the design of the dishes are being completely redone soon!! They are making the base bigger and the plate more flat, so as to remove the tipping problem that so many others have had. I don't know exactly when the new plates are coming out, but it's worth checking with a store or online because as soon as the new plates are out, they sound like they'll be perfect!!

base is too small - plates tip- food flys!
this set is beautiful to look at, however not very functional! the base on the plates are too small so food fly's off and the plates bang side to side. it is very embarrassing for our guests and we have been trying to warn people that you have to cut and eat all of your food from the very center of your plate or else food will fly or the plate will tip. Its too bad, because they really are pretty!

ok dinnerwear
If you are considering this set, look at it in person. As others have mentioned, the base of the dinner plate is very small. This makes the plate tip easily when cutting on the outer-half of the plate. We also have to warn our dinner guests about the tipping problem. C&B - PLEASE CHANGE THE DESIGN! Otherwise, I love the set. We have had this dinnerwear for over 5 years now, and they have held up wonderfully. We've only had one bowl break, and that was because our 3-year-old dropped it in the sink. I would give 5-stars if the plates didn't tip.

Love them!
I love the color and shine of these plates! We put them in the dishwasher and they haven't lost their shine at all. I haven't noticed the tipping of the plates. We get tons of compliments on them.
