My two-year-old daughter received these for Christmas, and in the month since then, they've been in constant use all over our house.
I'm not going to try to explain why she loves them, or why (despite my best efforts) she has no interest in using them as a set. But she's often carrying some treasure or other in one of the cups, or presenting me with a piece of wooden birthday cake (Melissa & Doug Birthday Party Birthday Cake on one of the saucers.
I like that there's just ten pieces, rather than the ginormous 30or 40piece tea sets I see out there. I also like that there's an opportunity to talk about colors, shapes, and numbers with her as we use them. I bought them on clearance for less than half of their current price, so it was a good deal for me as well.
I rated them low on durability because I'm pretty sure they'll break once they get stepped on, and because the printing on them is a little blurred on a couple of the dishes-more a sign of poor quality than poor durability, I guess.
However, all in all, they've been a huge hit with her, and I'd recommend them.
