The plates arrived prompt and packaged very secure. Heavy duty and we are using them in a bbq wedding as a plate changer but can be used as a plate .There color is subtle but in lighting is perfect .Bought these for a graduation brunch; school colors are black and gold. Bowls are true to color and were perfect for fruit salad.Very happy with this beautiful and sturdy bowl . It was upscale and perfect .These are very elegant disposable rectangular plates. I got them in black and I love that I can use them over and over or I can dispose of them if I want.They are very heavyweight so I don't think with little use they are not going to crack. I love the design very upscale and I can use them on our home dinner dates or when we have guess over.They are also very easy to clean up and wash.You can use them:dinner datescook outspartiesbanquetsThey are very unique and great looking!I received a complimentary sample for testing and review purposes.BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I was so excited when these deep white Rectangular plates arrived. I was throwing a doc mcstuffins and needed to create something that would hold Jello syringes. I used a box, decorated it, then hot glued this plate on top. I made 3 and They were a Hit! Everyone loved it and many asked where they could get these gorgeous plates. They hold food very well also! I'd highly recommend these plates for any party or family gathering. Whether to decorate or just to eat off of.note: I received these plate for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review!
