Why it's buy-it-for-life
Owners are split on durability: one redditor with 16 pieces over 6 years of daily dishwasher use has only a single chip and praises Crate & Barrel's policy of selling individual replacement pieces, while another lost three plates to rim chips within the first year of careful use.

I really love the Mercer collection from Crate and Barrel but heard they chip a lot.
had mercer collection for eight months and the chipping is real... lost three plates to rim chips within first year
In the 6 years I've had them I have replaced a couple low bowls and cereal bowls. I only have a chip on one plate. I would recommend these to anyone.
