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.

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.

Modern but Warm
We received this off our bridal registry to complete the dinnerware set and it is just beautiful. Our style is not overly modern so I wasn't sure if the shape would fit into our traditional setting but it looks fabulous and we love it with the complete tea set.

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.

Beautiful!
The Nuit dinnerware is great! It goes from dinner table to dishwasher beautifully. And, the colors are gorgeous...the online pictures can't show you the depth of the blue/gray.
The Nuit dinnerware looks great with so many settings...different napkins, tableclothes, etc.

pretty but impractical
I registered for these but found them to be very difficult to eat off of. They are shaped more like bowls so food slides to the middle. They also easily tip especially if cutting on the edge of the plate. I returned my entire set.

Not great for meals that require cutting
We love the look and durability of this set - it's very solid and holds up well to both dishwasher and microwave and we're always getting compliments on it. HOWEVER, the plates are awful for meals that require any cutting (ie. steaks, chicken etc). Because of the high lip, the plate will tip when cutting the piece of meat (pretty messy if there is a lot of sauce/gravy involved). We have since bought a wide-based dinner set that we use for dinner partys and use this set for everyday. On a plus note, the high lip prevents sauce from oozing over the edge ( handy for meals in front of the TV).

disappointing
Loved the set at first. Received 8 place settings as a wedding gift that we registered for. Unfortunately we did not see the set in person. The bowls were very small, but not too bad. I would've kept the set but the biggest disappointment was the fact the plates are made with a small center base so whenever you try to use the outside of the plate to pick up food or to cut food on the plate, it tips off balance. The food also falls to the middle because of the center being lower than the rim.
I did love the fact it was my only set I ever owned that didn't chip or break. But in the end, I had to buy another set because my husband and I couldn't take tipping them over anymore.
