Which set is better for a family of four?

The Gibson Home set. It gives four dinner plates, four dessert plates and four bowls, so a family of four can sit down with matching settings. The IKEA 365+ set is six small bowls only.

Can I put the IKEA 365+ bowls in the microwave?

No. The IKEA 365+ bowls are not microwave safe. The Gibson Home stoneware is microwave safe.

Is the Gibson Home set worth the extra money?

Yes if you need plates. At $41.28 at The Home Depot as of November 6, 2026, it costs about $18 more than the IKEA set at $22.99 at Amazon, but it covers a full table instead of six small bowls.

Which is more durable?

Both are made for daily use. Gibson uses thick chip-resistant stoneware; IKEA uses impact-resistant feldspar porcelain that is lighter per piece. Stoneware is heavier and chips less from knocks; porcelain handles drops better for its weight.

Which takes less cabinet space?

The IKEA 365+ bowls. They are squat and designed to stack. The Gibson Home set includes 10.5-inch dinner plates that need more room.

Are both dishwasher safe?

Yes. Both the Gibson Home stoneware and the IKEA 365+ bowls are dishwasher safe.
