Love these dishes, bought to use as "temporary "dishes, but these are beautiful!! look like I spent alot more- They are a great weight, easy clean up, microwave safe,will be buying another set.Beautiful color and the two sizes of plates and big generous bowls.I purchased several sets for an outdoor party. The final one arrived with a broken plate. Mira was able to resolve the issue for me.They are very pretty plates and work well with lots of table settingsI haven't really used them enough to say much about sturdiness or durability, but what a beautiful set of dishes! I had to flick it with my fingernail to make sure they were Melamine, they look like an elegant set of glass dishes. Just love them. Do note they say not microwaveable.I wish I would have read these were microwave safeWe got these for camping... they are very nice, durable, sturdy, and waaaaay better than using disposables for camping. They are very attractive and great to be able to even cut a steak or have a plateful of food without collapsing and such.I great setting for six people!Very nice looking platesI use this tableware on the boat and on picnics so I never have to worry about it breaking. It’s elegant, and durable. Cleans up easily.We are very happy with these dishes we purchased for our trailer. They're durable, easy to clean, store nicely. I'd recommend these for RV, cottage life, or as home outdoor patio ware. They're a little heavier than our previous RV dishes which is nice because they don't blow over with a bit of wind.Exactly as pictured and described. First time buying melamine and would definitely buy again. Love them!!
