Good quality
Size: 300 Count (Pack of 1), Color: Brown
Great choice for events and you want an eco friendly option. Big and sturdy, no leaks. We used them for a 50th birthday party with a hot food buffet.

Thick plates
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1), Color: Brown
I’ve been trying to find thick paper plates that I purchased on Amazon years ago.this is the closest I’ve found, but still not as thick. They hold up well with the ability to put a lot of food on the plate. We don’t put much wet food on it, but I think it would do well.

Great plates, but a little expensive
Size: 125 Count (Pack of 1), Color: White
These plates are easy to use for just about any meal. They are strong and durable, and they come in various sizes to fit your needs. They’re sturdy and hold plenty of food, without getting soggy or sagging. Their sturdy compostable concept is fabulous, but it seems that it results in the item costing a bit more than I’d expect to spend regularly.

Great plate, great value
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1), Color: Brown
I have been purchasing these plates for over a year and a half to two years and they’re quite excellent. They are very durable and hold up exceptionally well. A great value for the dollar.
