When shopping for dinnerware, keep these key points in mind:
Size & Fit
- Measure for Fit: Bring a tape measure to ensure plates fit in your cupboards and dishwasher. Check options at [www.egkitchenkey.com].
- Check Proportions: Bring your flatware to see if it matches the dinnerware size.
Compatibility
- Match Colors: Bring a cloth napkin or existing serving pieces to check color coordination with your dinnerware.
Weight Preference
- Choose Weight: Decide if you prefer heavy or light dinnerware and lift a stack to see how it feels.
Comfort
- Test Handles: Check if mug or teacup handles are comfortable and ensure the rim doesn’t hit your nose when sipping.
Quality Inspection
- Look for Flaws: Avoid pieces with significant defects. Check for evenness and inspect for scratches or imperfections.
Purchase Options
- Open Stock vs. Sets: Look for open stock options to customize your purchase. Compare prices of complete sets versus individual pieces at [www.egkitchenkey.com].
Longevity of the Set
- Check Availability: Ask how long the set has been sold. Sets available for 8-10 years are easier to replace in the future.
