After several years of looking for new dinnerware, my husband and I discovered the Casafina Pacifica line at a store in SC. Since they did not have what we needed in stock, we did an internet search and discovered Hudson & Vine. I was a bit reluctant to place a large order (over $500) with an unknown vendor, but free shipping and a 15% off coupon swayed us to try them. We were very pleased with our purchase. The items were shipped in a timely manner, and the excellent packaging insured that everything arrived safely and undamaged. We will definitely use Hudson & Vine again for future purchases.
