Great product. Very sturdy plates. Much more sturdy than your typical paper plates, but of course not plastic coated. What ironic is that although these are bamboo and therefore environmentally friendly, they use very wasteful and environmentally unfriendly packaging, as you can see from the photo. Each 20 or so plates are separately packaged in their own plastic bag with their own twist tie and label. If the manufacturer reads this, save your money and just put the plates in two bags.
