Recommendations for dish set for play kitchen?

[MMMommy]

Does anyone have any recommendations for a cute play dish set for kitchen play? I saw the cute Play Wonder Dinner Set of dishes, which is made of melamine for $14.99. It looked real cute and substantial and reminded me of the pricier Pottery Barn Kids melamine dish set. My only concern is that one package at Target had a cracked cup in it, so I worry that it might not be as durable as it looks. Will one drop on the hardwood floor result in breakage? I want something cute like these--not too small and miniature looking and not too cutesy. If anyone has any recommendations for a sturdy, cute, well made dish set, I would appreciate it. It could even be a real dish set, so long as it is reasonably priced and comes with enough pieces. Thanks!

We have the PBK set, which I think was $19.99 on special last year, and it has held up beautifully with no cracks, scratches or chips. DD threw a bowl the other day and I was sure that was the end of it, but it didn't get a mark.

I love the IKEA sets, but they are real porcelain so as much as DD loves to make tea and cake while we're in the store, I think she needs to be older before she can play with them daily.

We have the set from Target and I LOVE them! I think they are very sturdy but we have only had them a few weeks. They have already taken some good hits, though. I haven't seen any that I like nearly as well.

HTH!

I think the Target set is really, really cute. I like the color combination too. I only got worried after seeing that one set with the broken piece. That might have been just a fluke. Thanks.
