These plates are just like I remember using as a kid. Same classic look, feel, and leaking through that I remember. Everything from corn to hot dogs that has juice will soak right through. Using 2 plates at once slows it down, but don't rest your plate on your jeans or the arm rest of the sofa. My wife's classic strawberry cream cheese filled jello went through the plate in record time. They are fairly strong, but that just holds the juices longer.

These are without a doubt the best Paper Dinner Plates on the market. They are the thickest, strongest, and most durable Paper Dinner Plates I've found yet with the exception of Chinet's Oval Dinner Plates which are made the same way but I haven't purchased yet !!

The plates are not sturdy like they were in the past. Everything you put on the plate seeps through. You need to use 2 or sometimes 3 plates to avoid food seeping on your table. It also bends up when you put it in the microwave even for short periods of time. I will not purchase these plates again.

When it comes to disposable plates, the Chinet 10-1/4 inch heavy paper plates are a standout choice for anyone looking for durability, convenience, and a touch of elegance. Having used these plates for several occasions, including family gatherings, picnics, and casual dinners, I’ve come to appreciate their superior quality and practicality. Durability: One of the most impressive aspects of the Chinet paper plates is their sturdiness. Unlike typical paper plates that tend to buckle under the weight of food, these heavy-duty plates hold up remarkably well. They can easily accommodate a hearty meal, complete with sides and sauces, without bending or leaking. This makes them a reliable option for serving everything from pasta and salads to barbecue and dessert. Design: Aesthetically, Chinet plates edge out many competitors. Their simple yet elegant design elevates the dining experience, making them suitable for both informal and more refined settings. The clean white color provides a neutral backdrop that complements a variety of meals, and the textured rim adds a touch of sophistication. Eco-Friendly: Another benefit worth mentioning is that Chinet products are made from recycled materials and are recyclable themselves. For those who are environmentally conscious, this aspect is a significant plus. Using these plates allows for a convenient dining experience without neglecting sustainability. Convenience: The convenience factor cannot be overstated. They save time on cleanup, allowing for quick disposal after meals, which is especially valuable during busy gatherings. Additionally, they stack nicely and don’t take up much space in storage. Value for Money: While Chinet plates may be priced slightly higher than standard disposable plates, the added durability and quality make them worth every penny. You can often find them in bulk packages, enhancing their value, especially for larger events. Conclusion: Overall, I highly recommend the Chinet 10-1/4 inch heavy paper plates for anyone in need of reliable disposable dinnerware. Their blend of durability, style, and eco-friendliness makes them a smart choice for any occasion, whether you’re hosting a barbecue, enjoying a picnic, or simply want an easy cleanup after a family meal. With Chinet, you’re not just getting a paper plate; you’re investing in a quality dining experience.

I buy these and donate them to Ronald McDonald House here in Seattle. You can shop around all you want. Sam's made not only on line shopping easy, but had it ready the same day I purchased these. The staff helping me was tops. You can buy elsewhere and on line but you won't get this great price.

I love how strong chinet plates are but I was very disappointed with the quality. I had to throw a lot of them away as they were stained. They looked like someone squished a moth on them or something. But it was in the paper so you couldn’t wipe it off. Not very appetizing at all!

Plates are far inferior to the old plates that were sold as Chinet. New plates absorb the food on your plates making them soggy and weak. You need a minimum of 2 plates if you have any hope of retaining your food on that plates. Not the plates they were!!! I stopped buying them because of the above stated reasons and only purchase them this time because there was no Dixie plates available and I was hoping they would have figured out there are problems!! In the past they were always sold out but now there are plenty available now and Dixie is sold out. Who would have thought!!

We have been using chinet plates for years. Now we have seen that the quality has gone right in the toilet. Now we have to use at least two, sometimes three of the plates so they do not leak out on to the table or on your lap at a cookout. No more Chinet for us.

A one time excellent, go to product has deteriorated into the worst ....most plates look "not finished"..."incomplete" or "rushed through the manufacturing process" ... never again !! Might as well serve food on the floor - because these plates will either collapse, leak or fold over spilling the plate contents all over the floor

I have been purchasing these plates for many years years now, and I have to say I an very disappointed lately. For the past year, I have noticed that they do not have the same durability they use to. They plates have marks on them, they rip/tare super easy and if there is liquid in your food, it does seem through. For the price of these products, which have go e up considerably, they should have been better quality. I have came to a hard decision, but going to start purchasing a different brand feom now on.
