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.

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.

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.

I am a single parent with a large family. After a long day at work, I am first to say, the dishes can wait. These plates hold every entree and snack my family eats! I purchase 1 for work and 2 for home. The plates do sweat with hot items, so make sure to have some paper towels underneath.

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.

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.

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.

We are retired and have sometimes been using paper plates for some of our meals even though we have a dishwasher. These are the lunch size and very nice when having pizza or something need to micro-wave. Really hold up to the food and guests will not spill their food. Try them......

We wanted to have the option of paper plates for certain occasions as well as for giving food items (cookies, bread etc) to friends + neighbors without the need for pate return, especially in these difficult times. Chinet has always been my go-to for the best quality paper plates, and I was so glad to see them available at Sams Club. They arrived in perfect condition in a reasonable time. Terrific! Thank you!

I am well pleased with this product and how many I get for the price. I love them because of the sturdy ability in performance and do what it is made for. My husband is on Hospice at home and the convenience is wonderful. I don't have the extra time to stand st the sink all day.
