Super nice plates! They are extremely well-packaged, so definitely will survive shipping. These are substantial plates and look and feel expensive. They are very high quality. I love them! It says they can go in the microwave and dishwasher but haven't tried either yet. The designs are really cute and they will go with my farmhouse decor very nicely. They would actually go with almost any decorating scheme you have. The colors are vibrant but not gaudy. I love the size. They are perfect for appetizers. I like eating smaller meals, so I will probably use them daily. They would make a good gift. One thing to know, they don't have any markings at all on the bottom, so if you give them as a gift make sure to tell the recipient that they are safe for the dishwasher and microwave. Cute Plates!
