they were clear and nice and big, they looked beautiful on my table setting but they were kind of flimsy and we used a lot of them for a pot luck, so it wasn't great trying to keep the food on a plate that kept wanting to bend awkwardly.worked great for our BBQ dinner. could have been a little firmer, but held brisket, beans, potatoes without any issues.These were some of the cheapest garbage I've ever seen. Broke super easily, no way these could have held a plate full of food.So flimsy I was worried abour filling their plates at the banquet.I could not be more disappointed in these if I tried. The only positive is that they reached me a full week before I was expecting them. On the other hand, they will be going back just as fast. I ordered them for my daughter's wedding. We will be serving fried chicken. No way will these hold even the sides, let alone the entree. You should not be able to roll a plastic plate up with one hand... 'nuf said? As soon as these show up on my account as shipped and/or received, and I can request a return label, they are going back.
