What is there not to like? I purchased these for environmental reasons but ended up loving them for practical and aesthetic reasons. They make any food served on them look better! They are stylish, amazingly light, very durable, and as I mentioned environmentally friendly. They are great for everyday use (which is why we got them) but also ideal for outdoor use such as poolside use, camping, picnicking or a day at the beach. Just toss them in your bag and go..... In addition, I would highly recommend these to anyone with young kids. Let them drop and toss it all they want! As a test, I tossed one on our tiled kitchen floor and not a scratch! If you are thinking about these, don't hesitate just buy a set. Not only will you not regret it you will order the other designs. We are keeping this set for our everyday use and ordering the other designs for outdoor use and also for design variety ...
