Room×Lab Review · Review updated October 15, 2026

Owners of the 6.25-inch bowl report years of daily use, but also rims chipping within weeks and replacements that don't match

Crate & Barrel shows 2,521 ratings, some without a written review, shared across both Aspen cereal-bowl sizes and sets, older banded and low bowls, and some plates, mugs and other dinnerware, so the star rating is not only for this bowl. Room×Lab read 2,134 distinct written reviews from that set and drew on those about Aspen cereal bowls in the 6.25-inch and 7-inch sizes, singly and in sets of eight. Most wear, chipping and replacement accounts come from owners of the 6.25-inch bowl, some after more than a decade of use. The reviews below show long-use accounts and the most specific complaints; they are examples, not a tally.

Room×Lab rating: 7.3 out of 10 (medium confidence). Owners of the 6.25-inch bowl like its simple white look, versatility and low-cost single replacements. The caveat is the rim: some owners use their bowls a decade or more with few or no chips, while others see new bowls chip within weeks, and newer replacements can arrive heavier, thicker or greyer than older bowls.

  • Rim chipping versus long service: Of 16 accounts cited here (not a full count): 8 long service, 9 chips; one 17-year account is both — Some older 6.25-inch bowls served six to 12 years without reported damage, and one set showed three small rim chips after 17 years. Other owners report new bowls chipping within weeks or rim chips building up over two to seven years, sometimes while plates stayed sound. Some owners blame dishwasher contact or thin rims.
  • Microwave and hot-food handling: 3 favorable and 7 critical cited accounts on microwave heat and hot-food handling; not a full tally. — Some owners lift microwaved bowls comfortably; others find them very hot after reheating or uncomfortable when filled straight from the pot. Two owners each report a bowl cracking in the microwave, one after about a month of use. Crate & Barrel lists the bowls as microwave-safe.
  • Matching replacement bowls: 5 favorable and 4 critical cited accounts on replacement availability and matching; not a full tally. — Owners value being able to buy single bowls years later, but some replacements arrived heavier, thicker, greyer, larger or smaller, or with a different stated country of origin. One owner found thicker replacement rims resisted chipping.

Before buying

Choose the 6.25-inch Aspen bowl for its plain white look and easy single replacements if you can accept rims that some owners saw chip within weeks. If adding to older bowls, new ones may arrive heavier or greyer; check dishwasher rack and cabinet space.
