I had to call and fuss. How ever packed the boxes for shipping placed laundry soap with these plates. I ordered this plates to use and throw away. But because some bright person packing for shipping. The laundry soap box poked a hole in the packaging of the plates and had soap residue on them. I had to watch the plastic plate before I could even use them.

This plastic ware looks like fine china on a dinner table, but eliminates the need to spend time in the kitchen loading a dishwasher. I can spend that valuable time enjoying my guests. It's much more sturdy than typical disposable dinnerware; it doesn't bend or collapse when you carry it with food.

This set was excellent for our heated meal on the large plate and the small plate was for salad/roll. It gave a nice rich look to the black and white table cloths with apple green napkins and silver plastic ware. This is the third time I have purchased them for a large event. They are strong, durable, and simple. When finished I don't even want to discard them.

This was a wonderful buy. I used them for 3 separate parties that I had back to back weeks this year at my home. Everyone thought they were real and wonder I was throwing them away. I would recommend these any day of the week. They sure helped me make my life a little bit easier this year.

These plates are durable, well sized, and look great on a table for a dinner party, work luncheon/function, or holiday on which there are already plenty of dishes to wash without breaking out the China. Purchased them last year as well. A nice improvement on run of the mill paper plates.

I have purchased these plates once before and they are perfect for holiday gatherings. I use them for Thanksgiving and Chrismas and everyone has commented how elegent they look. They are strong enough you can wash them and re use them but the purpose of buying them was not to have to wash them.

Great plates for the huge Christmas dinner party we hosted. We had so many people I had to purchase two sets. I liked the size of the plates and really appreciated that they were strong enough to hold the weight of our feast. The plates I have used in the past buckled under the weight. Plus, these plates looked and felt so nice that several guests asked me if they should put them in the dishwasher!

Good quality. They are sturdy and won't bend. I hosted a large Thanksgiving party and didn't want the hassle of having to do dishes after. I almost wanted to wash them after use because it seemed a waste to just throw them away but the whole point was to not have to wash them to begin with, or I would have used real dishes, so they went in the garbage as originally intended.

I bought 2 packs of this and we used it for our family Thanksgiving. They looked like real china, but was the hard plastic. Then we threw them away, however, you could wash them if you wanted. What a huge time saver especially if you have a very large group of people!!! I will definitely buy these again.

I bought these plates for Thanksgiving dinner. We wanted better-than-paper plates, but something lightweight, & if they broke it would be no big deal. Well, these were perfect! They look real & have a simple elegance to them. You can dress them up or down depending on your place setting.
