I received my set in good condition - none were cracked or broken. I was surprised that the color was not as depicted online because I purchased my set before people began commenting on the color. These cups are small but they are still larger than the ones in most Italian bistros (I just returned from Italy so I know). I measured the amount of liquid this cup can hold and it comfortably holds 2 oz. If you fill it to the brim it holds 2.5 oz. In either case, it's enough for a double shot of espresso or an espresso with a little milk but these are not cappuccino-sized cups so if you want them for that purpose, you'll be disappointed. These cups feel sturdy and the glazed coloring on my set is uniform and extends to the bottom of the cup and saucer except for a ring of exposed ceramic on the bottom of both - which I assume is to help keep the cup from slipping in the saucer.
The feet of the metal stand are unprotected and may scratch surfaces - it would be nice if they put some rubber stoppers on the bottom but it hasn't been too much of an issue for me because I keep the stand in one spot on my counter. I like the cups and stand overall and they are cute displayed on the counter. Overall, I highly recommend this set. |

for $10 these are a STEAL! No, they're not quite perfect, but for $10?!
Color is more brick hued and less intense than the photos show. One of my cups has a slight splodge of brown paint below the rim, but they are clearly hand finished so you expect small imperfections. Stand was slightly unlevel so I bent it with my hands and now it stands perfectly square and straight. Nice small footprint so takes up no counter space. Definitely worth the money for half a dizen double espresso cups with saucers and a stand. They'd make a great low cost housewarming, hostess or wedding gift. |

| Wasnt expecting too much for the price but the cups themselves turned out to be cute. Only problem was the damage in shipping. The chrome handle was completely smoooshed and misshapened. And since this was a birthday present, I couldnt exchange it in time. And for ten bucks, its not worth it to ship it back for exchange anyway. So-so gift. |

| My coffee maker broke just when I got these espresso cups, so I've been drinking espresso every morning instead. This cup & saucer set is pretty inexpensive, looks great, and has a convenient holder. I like it. |

| We got these as a wedding gift and absolutely love them. They look great on their little rack in our kitchen. My only issue is that the ends of the legs can scratch a counter top or wooden table. But other than that they are a great value. |
