Criteria Used for Evaluation
Durability
How is it that we ensure the top ten best quality products? Well, we look at the overall durability of the item as the first pillar of our criteria. This crucial pillar is determined by the reviews of individuals and all of the other criteria put together to formulate the overall quality. This means that the item needs to be guaranteed to withstand the test of time, be extremely durable, and also safe enough and not made from toxic chemicals. With all this taken into consideration, we can say that this quality set is designed for maximum performance and overall quality value. Not only do they look extremely appealing, but they are also designed for safe use. Now, part of the durability of the set, which enhances the quality and the value is the material. Let’s talk about the next crucial criteria, the material quality of the set.
Materials
The overall material quality of the set is crucial to the overall success of the set. The reason being is that with a cheap material, comes less durability and the set will not be able to handle wear and tear. With that in mind, we found that most sets are designed from the same material quality. The most common material is porcelain, which has different grades of durability. Depending on the grade, the porcelain can break easily and not withstand the test of time. Therefore, it was crucial that all of the dinnerware sets that we shared were designed with the best quality materials.
Now, another one of the most common materials that we discovered through our research is stoneware, which happens to be a more luxurious material that is also quite fragile. With that in mind, the material really determines whether the product is dishwasher safe and microwave safe. What we can say, is anything except plastic is microwave safe. Some plastic is dishwasher safe. However, it is important to take into consideration the max temperature the brand and manufacturer suggest.
Style
As the next criteria that we took into consideration, we discovered that the style and design of a set determine how appealing it will be. Now, this is all subjective to the buyer. Therefore, we wanted to share a wide variety of different sets. On this list, individuals will notice a wide variety of different sets ranging from floral and artistic sets to more traditionally lines sets with authentic pillar moldings. With that in mind, this criteria is part of our dedication to sharing a wide variety of different products when it comes to our top ten products.
As far as style, it is important to note that not every set will fit with your decor or the style of your home. For example, some sets are better left for more modern homes while some sets are designed for traditional or outdoor use. In any case, our dedication was to share not just durable sets, but also highly beautiful and appealing.
Size
As another crucial criterion that we took into consideration, we wanted to make sure that we shared quality sets that had a different variety of pieces. Now, what an individual is particularly looking for will determine what kind of set they desire to get. With that said, we can say that all of these sets include quality pieces. This was an important criterion because we wanted to share sets that fell complete. However, some sets only come with four of each piece, making it a four-person set. If you tend to entertain, it is important to keep in mind that you may be buying more than one set from a specific manufacturer. Through our research, it seems that the most common pieces are a big plate, a small plate, a bowl, and mugs. Now, for all of this, what can individuals expect to pay?
Value
As the next criteria that we took into consideration, this criterion is a common theme in all of our articles. The primary reason is that we only want to share products that are worth a person’s consideration and worth the price. With that in mind, we can say that much of the cost for a particular set is determined by the material and the brand. Of course, porcelain will be one of the most costly materials, especially if it is a high-grade porcelain. However, when you combine that with a quality brand such as Mikasa, an individual gets a costly combination that is known as one of the best and most premium homeware brands in the industry.
However, if you are looking for refined luxury without the price tag, we can say that there are some beautiful quality sets on this list that are intended to withstand the test of time.
Now that we have shared our criteria to evaluate the best dinnerware sets, it is time to answer some of the most common questions by consumers when it comes to purchasing a quality dinnerware set.
