I purchased these plates to help transition my toddler from baby plates to real dinnerware. I figured by letting her use these plates, which look like real plates, I would get a chance to see how well she could handle something breakable.The plates are large for salad plates. In fact, their diameter is larger than the salad plates in our everyday china. This is great for my intended purpose, because I can fit my daughter's whole kid-sized dinner on one.
My problem is that the plates state they are only dishwasher safe on the TOP RACK, and because the plates are so wide, it can be difficult to fit them into the top rack. (Fortuntately, the top rack in our dishwasher can be lowered.)
What's worse, even though I have followed the instructions to wash them on the top rack only, and I never use the heated dry cycle of the dishwasher, the plates have gotten terribly warped. One even cracked. This is within six months of purchase.
These plates could be wonderful for occasional use, such as for outdoor entertaining. They look decent and are lightweight and unbreakable, and I think if they were only washed by hand, they would be durable.
