I purchased these paper plates. I mistakenly relied on the Members Mark Brand, and my recollection of the quality it once represented. The strength, dry strength, is not sufficient to hold half of a plate of 'regular' food. These plates are flimsy. Maybe if I used two plates together, they may do, but they are not worth the current price for single use, and are not any kind of value. These are substandard, and a waste of my time and gas to return, though I will return them.

I have been buying members mark 10" plates for years, a staple in my house. I've tolerated the price increase that almost doubled but the new design with light and royal blue leaves on the edges ARE MUCH MORE FLIMSY! I could immediately tell a difference. I even compared them to the original version and these are thinner and not as thick and hard. The new design bends more easily and will not hold food like the original design. Sam's Club DO BETTER! Raise the price if that's what it takes in this economy, but have the decency to maintain your quality! Shame on you!

The reason for such a low score is because when you use these plates in the microwave to reheat food the ink on the plate breaks down and smears across the plate when you use your utensils with each bite. Hard to describe, but if you were to put the plain plate in the microwave and then use a paper towel across the plate you will see how this ink smears. Otherwise they are as strong as the Dixie plates which sell for quite a bit more. Great option except for the ink when heated.

I have been using these (old design) paper plates for years and they have been great. Picked up the new design ones this past go and boy am I disappointed. They are way more flimsy and the plate was warm to touch when microwaving for 30 seconds. Where did the standard go? Will be returning and going with Dixie.

We have been buying these plates for years. Recently, there was a change made in the plate. I thought it was the design on the plate itself, but after eating Pasta one evening, the bottom of the plate was wet, and about to break apart. I have never had this happen prior to the recent change. Please go back to the old material that was used.

After several failed attempts to find a paper plate that was sturdy enough to hold food, I'm glad I tried member's Mark Ultra Dinner plates. They are 10 inches, large enough to hold a full meal. I didn't have to worry about the plate leaking, they held up like a champ. They have a nice design and every plate is clean and free from defects. They met and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend.

I have purchased the Member Mark brand paper plates for years but nut be buying again. This last purchase is awful. The plates are thin and flimsy. If I wanted thin cheap plates I would have gone to a dollar store. Will not be buying again and will not recommend.

This is the best paper plate, hands down! It’s very sturdy compared to another paper plate that has a name brand and sold alongside this one in the store. I could not believe the quality from a store brand! The Members Mark plate does not bend or leak. I love this plate and I love the price! Thank you for making an excellent product!

I have purchased these many times and have been very happy. However, last time I purchased they are not the same. Flimsy and definitely not as strong as they used to be. Now I have to double the plates. The quality of these plates have gone down hill. Very disappointed

Been using these plates daily for years. About 2 months ago, the newest order had the plates in both the regular bag but also an inner cellophane wrapper. Though I'm sure this makes it more sturdy in shipping, it does make dispensing less convenient. Otherwise, great product as always.
