Laurie Gates12 Piece Melamine Dinnerware Set (Red, Yellow, Green, Blue)

I wanted the plastic dishes for use around the pool area and backyard. After shopping the local stores, and found nothing but thin plastic plates, individually priced from $3-$6 - I ordered 2 sets of these to have a place setting for 8 people. I love them! They are worth every bit the extra money!! The floral pattern is raised. The Melamine is thick and sturdy, yet lightweight. The different colors set a pretty table, and They are dishwasher safe! Win-Win all around!!

I won a set in a basket at a silent auction and liked them so much I bought a second set so I would have enough for the whole family. They are beautiful! Very sturdy

These are more beautiful than I expected! They definitely don't look like melamine. They are bold beautiful colors and I look forward to serving family now! Very nice product I'm thinking about buying more because they seem to be well worth the price. I am very happy!

Absolutely LOVE them!!! Nice, thick, detailed, colorful. Perfect for me as I don't microwave or use a dishwasher. Very pleased. Glad I listened to the reviews.Update, just washed them and 3 of them (2 plates and one bowl) the paint doesn't line up with the embossed pattern. Its not enough to make me return them, but I am taking one star away as this is an obvious flaw.

I absolutely love these dishes!! I got them for my camper, but they're so pretty, I thought about getting them for the house too. The only reason I decided not to is because they're not microwave safe, and I know the kids would forget and put them in the microwave. The vibrant colors really make the table beautiful, even for camping!!

Too heavy for melamine plates

Only received bowls. No plates.

These are really nice and beautiful. Seem durable. One bad thing is, you can't put them in the microwave or oven. Very attractive though. Still, if you want to heat up something for lunch, kind of a pain.
