I like my stoneware muffin pan however, they are breakable my husband dropped my very heavy marble cutting board on mine and broke the handle off of it. I don't know that they would be any more breakable then say...a Pyrex pan. Also I only have 1 so I'm not certain whether they would Stack or not but they look like they probably would

I don't know about stacking because I only have one, but it is pretty durable. My friends husband cracked theirs because he put cold running water on it right after it came out of the oven. Also don't use soap to clean only water after it cools. A hard rubber scrapper works to help scrub it clean.

Faberware would be more durable. First the big pot came not round but likle smashed, so the top does not fit. One of the most important pot for us. Wife did not begin to us it till we had company and found out after the 60 day window to complain or exchange that one pot. The set itself is pretty Good and sturdy. Jimmie Irizarry

I wouldn't recommend it....the bases make stacking tricky...you can put one inside another,but they can easily tip over risking breakage....they offer other similar dessert dishes that will stack more easily on Amazon if space is an issue...I bought these for their looks not their stacking ability....hope that helps answer your question.

They stack similarly to other china. They do not take up nearly as much space as my previous stoneware.

They are not as heavy as our Fiestaware, nor are they as durable. They are lighter than most stoneware-tupe sets I have owned in the past. They are beautiful.

That issue had me confused, too; but I decided to buy it for my daughter anyway. I looked it over before taking it to her, and it looked adequate to me. My daughter has had no complaints and says it IS a space saver. It looks very nice in her kitchen, too. I helped with the dishes once and didn't have a problem with putting silverware in its container. If you're sloppy putting things in there, you might have to right them again; but, honestly, it just doesn't seem like it should be an issue. Hope you like it. It's very attractive and sturdy.

While any dish ware not metal nor plastic can break and not totally indestructible, this ironware is the least likely and extremely durable, considering. Also most high end looking set for what it is................................................................................................................................................................................................................

These true "glassware" and as such I would not stack them the way I would plastic "glasses." I haven not tried to stack them, but would be concerned about them breaking, sticking together, or falling over.

These glasses are somewhat stackable-- if you look at their shape--I think that you are taking a chance of breakage -as the glass is thinI have been using these glasses for more than 6 months and they are holding up beautifully-

Shouldn't see why you couldn't. It's all wood and the ceramic knives won't be damaged. We love ours and load it with all of our favorites. Wish we'd gotten it sooner.

I have had stoneware pieces in the past that took years and years of being microwaved without damage. Assuming that it IS indeed stoneware as advertised, it should hold up, though I would check for any specific warnings against it on the item just in case.

Hello, PaulaThe dishes are not stoneware. They're some type of pottery (not sure exactly what). I'd say they're medium weight, very similar to Fiesta Ware. In fact, I bought them b/c they reminded me of knock-off Fiesta Ware. We've had them about six months. So far, they've worked out very well. No issues in the dishwasher or microwave.Hope that helps.wf

The only pieces that might not stack would be the knives. The set is really nice - great quality.

I have it in our house in CA so I am not there a lot. I use it self-standing and it works great. It could be mounted and it would be more rigid so it wouldn't move easily when you putting things away. I used it with a Circulon bronze set of cookware from Costco which are heavy duty.

I think this is made of iron or something very sturdy. It is a great piece! It is rather hard to assemble and requires great patience but is well worth the time. Your pots rest on the curved center railings--larger pots on the bottom graduating up to smaller pots on top. If you carefully tighten each screw according to directions it will be very stable. If you have bright enamel cookware it looks very decorative and sophisticated. Creates good storage for a corner of your kitchen.

I have several that I use to hold pots and pans. One holds two large Corning Ware roasting pans that weigh a total of 12.5 pounds. I have others holding dinnerware that weighs at least as much. Have had no problem with any of them.

I wouldn't trust the durability to stack it. I tried to put more than a potted plant on mine and it collapsed. The pegs that are supposed to fit snug on the holes tend to slide right through. Hope that helps.
