Strong plates

I am happy with this purchase. These plates are strong enough to hold half a plate of veggies plus a starch and a meat. Greasy food and foods not drained of liquid will soak through if left on plate for a long time. I like that they are eco-friendly. They are made of recycled materials and compostable.

It's a Chinet plate you grew up with but spongier

It's a Chinet plate but does seem spongy. It does quickly absorb hot foods with gravy, juice or salad dressing (oil based) too fast. But we'd rather deal with this than purchase foam plates that are not environmentally friendly at all. We would still buy if the price/qty is right.

Ope! Sounds like a party foul on our part. Here's the truth—Chinet Classic® products are made from pre-consumer recycled material and pressed into form. We love using recycled materials, but it means we are constantly re-evaluating and optimizing the manufacturing process. Recently, all Chinet Classic® molded fiber tableware transitioned to a new Oil & Grease Resistant (OGR) barrier technology. Because of that, you didn't get our best product, and we apologize. We are working to correct the issue. In the meantime, feel free to contact a representative by email at MyLife@mychinet.com or call 1-800-847-4129. Thank you!

Diminished, but Still Great Product

Great product, need to watch quality though. The batch that I picked up my bag from had extra "fluff" around the plate edges, making it difficult to separate them as the uneven edges stuck to the next plate on the stack. Overall still great - holds up well even to wetter foods and sturdy enough to cut meat on.

Like eating off a papertowel

These are the worst paper plates ive ever used. I wish i would have paid $2 more and purchased the generic brand i usually purchase. These plates are like eating off paper towels. I will NEVER purchase Chinet again. Wet cardboard is more sturdier than these plates.

Hope you enjoy eating "plate"

These just soak up everything and turn to toilet paper, they're useful only in emergencies and otherwise we just simply try not using them. Not only that but if you have to cut anything or let it sit on the plate for any more then a couple of minutes you end up eating "plate".

Not quality material

Initially I was disappointed with the size. But this was the first time I had purchased these online and I was very disappointed with the quality. They are thin and do not hold up. When I have purchased chinet in person at a store they have been very good quality. Not so with these.

Dingie Plates.

I bought these for my Daughters Baby Shower. When I was setting them out, I noticed they looked Gray. Someone said they looked dirty. I was franticed. I sent someone out to get others. After the day I looked at them again, the package,I saw 80% recycled. If yoe are looking for Bright white, look again.

They are just heavy duty paper plates

Sam's is asking me to review paper plates. They are just paper plates. A lazy man's way of not having to wash dishes. And you hold them from the bottom, not from the edge like they show you in the dumb TV commercials for people who like losing their meal before tasting it. They are just paper plates, stronger ones, but asking for a review. Better tell your robot not to be so aggressive about getting every single review it can.
