Used these plates for my daughter wedding reception. The plates are strong enough to hold a plate full of food (normal amount). Gold color did not run under heat. They did well.These plates, cups, silverware, and napkins are going to be perfect for our special day! Packaged wonderfully, too. Very pleased!Used for a fancy wedding ..everyone raved at the quality and fine china look. Would order again.These plates were used for my daughters wedding, paired with a gold charger. It matched perfect along with Occasions cups.Encantado lo volvería a comprarUsed these for an engagement party. Went with a gold and white color scheme and these were perfect. We served a lot of food and these stood up to all that was piled onto them. Originally ordered some from Party City but returned them because they weren’t as pretty. So glad I found these - made the table look soooo pretty!I was leery of buying them after reading reviews about packaging and a few broken plates or scratched up plates! But because of price, I was willing to chance it and I can handle a few broken, I am happy to report that none were broken and all are in perfect condition. The reason for 4 stars, was because I have never seen cake/salad plate so small, it’ll work for me but be forewarned you can not put a salad on this, it’ll fit small slice of cakeI loved the dishes with the exception the some were broken due that the box was very thin,,, also I ordered 2 sets of 25 and the beige was different some darker and some lighter,,, but it will serve the purpose I guessDivinisimo , lo volveré a pedir si tuviera max eventos
