These are very stiff paper plates and hold up well. They also are resistant to food leaking through them. And the huge bundle they come pin lasts us a very long time.

I was hesitant to order these even though the reviews that others had left, they still looked like the very thin cheap plates I would purchase at the Dollar Store. I’m VERY happy with them and will definitely purchase again.

I have used many different paper plates brands, i love how sturdy and thick these paper plates are I can cut on them without through them and leaking.

The last time I purchased these plates the quality was much better. They much stronger, so I guess that is the way of making more money. Quality changes and prices still go up.

600 plates that are mostly stuck together! ... MOST of the plates were "Fused" together and very difficult to separate (We even destroyed a few during the process)... Cost is right, the plates are good quality, BUT too many were stuck, not allowing for 600!

I was surprised how flimsy these plates are. They seem like a standard thin paper plate…even with 3-4 plates together, they do not hold up to much other than a sandwich or piece of cake. I certainly would not consider these plates to be heavy duty. I was disappointed.

The short answer is at home and at camp I always have a large supply of these plates. Probably the most used item in the house. I have paper rules in my house. If you want to use paper so you don’t have to do dishes these plates are used for snacks like chips, fruits any thing mostly dry, light weight and require minimum cutting. They can be used while standing if you only have lightweight foods and minimal wind. We have paper plate holders for them if it’s a formal setting or windy. If you have just a simple sandwich like PB&J use a napkin only, no plate needed. If you have a steak get the heavier duty plate that stands up to juice and cutting. The final rule is if you’re having a pastry that comes in a wrapper - the wrapper is your plate, don’t waste my paper plates.

I buy these all the time to make sure that we never run out of them. With my husband and visiting relatives like my two sons and my grandchildren, as well as our constantly-hungry cats, we go through them fairly quickly. They’re not too flimsy for sandwiches or cans of tuna for the cats, and it sure is nice to cut down on dishwashing regular plates.

I use paper plates quite a bit and these are pretty strong for what I need I always use a firm plastic on the bottom but I use them quite a bit in the microwave and I love them but not too thin and they're not too thick they're perfect highly recommend

The super strong heavy duty paper plates, 9" (600 ct.) are the best value at 4 cents per plate compared to over 10 cents per plate for many of the competitive brands. Also, these are paper plates, not styrofoam, so they are not brittle and they are made of a biodegradable material. I recommend them as a cheap alternative for quick and easy to washing dishes or more costly disposable plates.
