The color and design are nice. The bowl is a pretty good size, it fits a can of soup with a little room left. I did not like that the bowl became too hot to touch to be able to remove it from the microwave. I only warmed the soup up just enough, and I had to use folded up paper towels to grab the bowl. I haven't used the lids yet, but the rubber seal does not look like it will be easy to keep clean. But I figure that I will still be able to use the bowls even if the lids eventually have to be tossed.
