Mengbaobao 6 Inch Melamine Dinner Plates Set of 3 - Shatterproof Black Dishes for Indoor & Outdoor Dining, Picnics, Camping, and Parties

These plates are perfect for when you don’t want to dirty a nice salad plate, especially when you’re not eating at the dinner table! We have a 5 year old grandson who loves to eat snacks in front of the tv. I don’t have to worry about accidents!I bought this set after breaking my favorite porcelain saucer when my teacup became temporarily stuck to it. These are very attractive, and also work well as a base for my candles.These plates do not appear to be genuine melamine. They appear plastic. They are made in China and are "melamine ware." They are NOT microwavable. However, they serve a purpose. I use them under my plants to protect surface from watering overflow. Although a little pricey for that use, they look a nicer than the traditional, deeper plastic planter saucers.Work the bestYou can’t even tell they are melamine. I actually bought them for a project but I would use them for dinner also. They are better than I expected.Very pleased. Thank you very much.I tho8ght i was buying glass plates at 5 bucks each. Cheap plastic. I could have gotten better at the dollar storeArrived already broken inside the bubble wrap. Is a lot thinner and cheaper looking than I expected. Is not microwave safe - seems to be made out of some kind of fragile material but feels like plastic.My husband has late stage Alzheimer's disease. We have floral patterned Melamine dishes, but I found that he was unable to distinguish his food on these plates. I wanted smaller solid colored plates and these ones are perfect. They are lightweight, but durable, and he can see his food clearly. Exactly what I wanted and he needed.
