Elama Round Stoneware Cabin Dinnerware Set, Elk Design

Mostly love the unique woodland picture on the plates. The quality is very nice but one dinner plate did arrive discolored.

Love this plate set, the detail is amazing and love the colours. Will be ordering another set. Packaged good, nothing was broken.

I haven’t bought new dishware in the 12 years that my husband and I have been together; purchased this set (as well as the Majestic Elk set) solely on the beauty displayed in the listing photographs. We had been saving to buy a house and I wanted to make sure the sets of dishware we purchased would match our new home. Living north of the Twin Cities in Minnesota, we couldn’t be happier with making the decision to purchase these stunning dishes. We have been using them for almost a month now and they have held up quality (they’ve survived the dishwasher multiple times, unlike our Nutri Chef cookware.) The tie dye coffee design is gorgeous, the print is gorgeous and the glaze on each piece is perfect. Each piece was packaged with care and arrived with no chips or damage. We highly recommend this set and the Majestic Elk Set! (Hope to add photos soon, my husband took my phone with him to work today lol.)

This set is absolutely beautiful look even better in the cupboard, got rid of my old plates and replaced with this set, couldn’t be happier, if your thinking about getting this I can tell you won’t be sorry, well worth the money.

I actually bought both sets of plates: the wolf and the elk. I bought the wolf first, and loved it so much that I bought the elk as an addition to complement it. The bowls are identical for both sets, but the plates and cups each have their own design. They go very well together.

The dishes were packed *very* well. Both sets arrived with no damage at all, which had me very impressed. In fact, I want to talk about the packaging a bit, because it’s rare that I see such efficiency and care: the dishes are packaged together in a stacked formation, separated by small cardboard inserts, and each type of dish is contained within a small cardboard box that’s the perfect size for a snug fit. These smaller boxes are arranged together inside a single large box so that they form a perfect fit. This means there’s no sliding around or jostling during transit. It’s clear Elama has mastered packaging its dishes down to an art form.

One of the wolf plates had a factory defect (part of the glaze/coating looked to have been chipped off before the stoneware was fired). Elama includes a contact card with each shipment, where you can contact them to ask for a replacement in case of a broken dish, and I did this. I sent Elama a picture of the defect, they verified my purchase and delivery address, and were happy to ship out a new plate to me. So if you’re afraid to take a chance on these dishes, never fear. They have you covered.

I suspect one reason they’re so confident about offering coverage for broken dishes is because they’re so good at packaging them.

I have already put the dishes through the gamut of normal use. I have eaten off them, washed them in the sink, washed them in the dishwasher, put them through the microwave, stacked them in my cabinets, and can safely say that I’m able to use and enjoy them like any other set of stoneware dishes.

I’ll be using these for a long, long time.

Packaging was great, double boxed and dishes wrapped tight so they dont break.. All in all the sets I bought are great and no breakage and stunning set.

I was looking for rustic dinnerware when I found this set. I love the pattern and it’s very durable. Great value for the money.
