These plates, although plastic, have the look and feel of expensive china. These were used for a family Valentine's Day dinner that was prepared by family members. These plates (along with other decorations) made the meal feel like an expensive restaurant. Nice job, Member's Mark...

Have used these plates for holiday family dinners the last three years. Nice design that coordinates with the heavy duty silverware. Great set of plates, especially when you don’t have a dishwasher! My son-in-law makes us laugh when he says he wants to wash them because they are so nice. He pouts as we make him toss his plate in the trash!!!

Nicer and thicker than the clear plastic plates for sure, and better looking than paper/cardboard type plates. We used them for a bridal taco shower and they did not stain. You should consider them mostly disposable. I hand washed some just to see how they’d do. They’re thin hard plastic, so they will crack or break if you put more force on one side when washing and the silver outline will rub/scratch off pretty easily. If you want to reuse them, hand was very carefully and let them air dry. Even then the silver may come off in spots. I guess you could always gently rub all of the silver off when washing so they’re solid white too. That being said, if you want something basically disposable and nicer looking for an event without spending too much money, these are your best bet. As with all disposable type plates, buy more than you need in case some break prematurely. This didn’t happen in my case though. They are perfect for showers, weddings, etc. I would buy them again.

The plates were sturdy, and I believe they were a fair value.

Durable and elegant. They worked great for Easter.

All of my guests thought they were "real", wanted to put them in the dishwasher. Elegant

Excellent quality and dressy enough for a Bridal Shower

Held the food without flopping, like paper plates.

Looks nice. Sturdy for a buffet

These were wonderful and very sturdy.
