Not what I expected, but in a good way! By the description I thought these would be more on the plastic side. I have 3 kids and wanted something cute, but durable. These showed up and they are durable, but more of a plate (and not a knock-off plastic plate like I expected). They are heavy and very bright with color - very pretty! What I like most is that theres a semi-lip around the edge to keep your food from flying off should a kid get crazy. Shipping was fast and plates arrived in one piece. I am very happy with the purchase!
