These plates are beautiful and make for a gorgeous table. I do not use paper plates, even outdoors. You can style these lightweight yet sturdy plates to look fabulous with denim cloth napkins and colored plastic stemware. We grill out back every day Spring through Fall and used these plates constantly. They still look perfect.

The dishes are substantial - heavy and great quality, as they ought to be for that price! When it comes to quality, I'd recommend. I am returning them, though, because they're not what I was expecting. There's more white in the design than shows online. The bottoms of all the dishes are solid blue - be sure you like that color of blue before you purchase!

Love this set. The colors are so cool and the product is such great quality. They have ran thru the dishwasher several times and nothing has chipped, cracked or flaked. Very happy with my purchase.
