Naturally Chic Small 6 Inch Square Bamboo Plates Disposable - 50 Pack - Biodegradable Palm Leaf Dessert Plates for Appetizers and Cocktail Party - Compostable and Eco-Friendly

Attractive and sturdy plates that are environmentally friendly.

I hate using paper plate and plasticware at my home parties and events so these bamboo plates are perfect. They are so much nicer, sturdier than paper and definitely look hella better.

Strong, ecologically friendly and stylish.

Works well as one-time use, recycled material. Color is only for casual use.

These are very nice -- sturdy, attractive, different, and sustainable. I was worried about what they would be like based on some of the other reviews, but they were fine. One reviewer had written that they aren't all the same, some in the package had stripes and were lighter than the others or whatever, and that is true, but not outside of a range you would expect to find in an all natural product. I worried also about some comments about whether they were strong enough to hold up to saucy foods, and they were completely fine. I served pulled pork, cole slaw, and baked beans on them, and they were completely adequate. There was no concern about cutting food on them, and my guests didn't really want to throw them away because they seemed like they could be washed and used again. You probably could do that but I had purchased them to be disposable while slightly more elegant than paper and I didn't want plastic. I did a pretty thorough job of researching the options, and ultimately chose these over another similar brand because that brand also appears to make political campaign items that I found to be offensive.

We ordered these and two other sizes for my daughter's graduation party and were so happy with the quality and look that we ordered another package of the 10 inch for a follow up celebration. They are sturdy, very attractive and easy to wash or recycle even if the price is high. I would use these for any special gathering but use excellent paper plates for a normal picnic or barbecue due to the price. I do not recommend the smallest size as they are not large enough to use for nearly anything.

We serve our bunnies greens on them . They are a great toy because it's safe for them to eat and it's good for their teeth .

My tabletop theme for Thanksgiving was natural woods, white and grey, and I had originally been on the hunt for wood chargers to go under white porcelain dishes. These were waaaaay less expensive and looked great. I layered cloth napkins between the large and the small square plates and thought the place settings looked great - just the natural, relaxed harvest vibe I was looking for. Before dinner I tested the plates putting cranberry sauce on them for 4 hours to see if they would hold up to some of the sides, and they did! They didn't look cheap or disposable but were environmentally friendly and convenient. Loved them!! I only gave them a 4* on durability because one came out of the packaging chipped, but very attractive and great value. I would buy them again.
