Tabletops Gallery 12 Piece Green Teal Blue Melamine Dinnerware Set Plates Bowls for Indoor/Outdoor Use, Service for 4, Peacock

These dishes are lovely and well-made. I believe they will last a long time. The colors are very lovely and I expect to use them frequently for a very long time. I'm glad I purchased them.

Bought these for an outdoor get together- they are very thin but work - I imagine they wouldn't take much abuse and survive but the inexpensive part makes that worth it. Used in summertime on patio not for every day/ hand wash.

This set of "Peacock" melamine dinnerware is a dream come true for those who enjoy creating attractive outdoor tablescapes. This particular set (I ordered 2 sets, which I picked up at an incredibly reasonable price) has paired beautifully with natural/neutral tones of jutes, woods and wovens, as well as a completely different motif using vibrant hues of blues and greens, crisp linens, bright silver napkin rings and sleek white accessories. I've even used them for a festive Mexican themed poolside birthday party using traditionally patterned linens (napkins called "green multi salsa", also sold by Walmart) and it looked fabulous. Additionally, they're very easy to care for. I prefer to wash them by hand, but they've survived the top rack of the dishwasher without any issue. Also, after many meals, they are unscratched and in perfect shape. So, if you're looking for a great set of melamine dinnerware that you can have endless fun playing with and creating beautiful tablescapes for your family and friends, I highly recommend giving this a set a try. Enjoy!

I like the plates and bowls but they are only top rack dishwasher safe and no microwaving. I'm so used to melting cheese or warming things on plates or in bowls that I find that annoying. But they are light weight and pretty and I remembered them as being unbreakable, years ago. so far I haven't dropped any so no guarantee.

Love the colors, and for occasional use, I think these would be a great option. But for daily use, I'm not optimistic. Picked up a few sets to replace some old Target melamine plates (no-name brand, probably paid a couple of dollars each) that have served us well over the years (and many are still in great shape, I'm just ready for a change!). The Tabletops Gallery pieces are significantly thinner and lighter (albeit, much prettier). For reference, my old plates weigh 9oz; these weigh only 5 oz.) The two sets I inspected arrived intact with no chips. But there were some minor yet visible flaws on a few pieces, The price point was/is fantastic, but I don't think they'll stand up to the daily abuse my current set has. (Those were never intended to be “everyday” dishes, but melamine is so convenient and easy.) Will probably return and seek something a bit more sturdy for that reason, but I really like the look of these. If you're looking for a beautiful set that's a step up from Chinet paper plates for outdoor gatherings, this will be a great purchase. If you want something for daily use/abuse, then maybe not (at least, not for long).

colors are beautiful. not microwaveable though. also some plates were broken.

More fragile than I anticipated. One of the plates arrived broken.

melts in the microwave as your heating food on it. very cheap and I would certainly not buy again and I known this. if I had a way to get to the stores themselves I would certainly return this item for a full refund

This is made of cheap plastic and arrived very broken. For the price, if plastic works for you and it arrived unbroken, it could be a decent starter set.

one of my dishes was broken.
