Lightweight, put it in the dishwasher, bounces when you drop it on the floor, all around great dish need to be a little bit bigger, perfect dish for cereal, you can put a entire can of soup in it, but you only have about an quarter inch from the top of the bowl, spills easy when you’re trying to walk from the kitchen to the couch with soup in it other than that great bowl.

I bought these as cereal bowls as they coordinate with my dinnerware and fit the “plastic” category requested by my sister in law. Normally I refuse to keep plastic bowls in the house because I can’t keep my husband or sister-in-law from microwaving food in them and ruining the plastic (you wind up not being able to tell if the cheese is glued on or the plastic is melted or both.The second they came into the house my husband tried to microwave soup in one. They are not microwave safe.Now with that said he will try to microwave in throw away plastic containers, Tupperware mixing bowls, a plastic lid, and I’m pretty sure they are not microwave safe either. Does “not safe” mean damage to the product or humans? Rhetorical question. I am obviously ok with microwaving despite the warning and I also wash all clothes in the washer.These bowls are large enough for cereal, ice cream, popcorn, are durable (I dropped one already in our tarazzo floor) and look beautiful.

I love them. Very light weight and definitely easy to clean. I would definitely recommend for kids as I’ve dropped mine a couple times and have never broken.

Really nice bowl. It's deep and easily comes clean ( I clean in the dishwasher)... it's not really microwave safe although I use it in the microwave.... the bowl will get hot so don't microwave for long.... otherwise a really nice bowl

These aren’t microwave safe and if you wash them in the dishwasher the color begins to fade away after only a few uses. They are great dishes otherwise and are useful for salads or cereal, but you have to hand wash them always.

Los compré para mi restaurante y el tamaño es perfecto incluso si fueran para mi casa. El material muy resistente y el diseño tal cuál se ve en la fotos. No me arrepentí, justo lo que buscaba.

Mostly as expected. A nice set of bowls in the size I wanted. The one annoyance is the sticker that is applied to the bottom. It is hard to remove, and once it is removed leaves adhesive residue on the bowl. Washing in the dish washer does not remove the residue. It needs Goo Gone or a similar product to remove.

I had a couple of uglyish melamine rice bowls in the house, and they were what we kept reaching for. Lightweight, nice size, nice shape. Finally I decided to buy a set of 6 in plain white so they'd be attractive and we'd have enough. These are attractive, light, great to have around. We hand-wash our dishes, and these wash very easily and nicely. You never worry about breakage, which is always good with bowls, the first thing in any set of dishes to develop chips.A couple of caveats. They should warn people that you can't put them in the microwave. That's not a big deal, and it's a function of melamine, not a comment on the quality of the bowls, but important to know.and really, they could have been made to stack far more nicely than they do. I can barely get the six stacked on my bottom shelf, and they tip this way and that way, and the whole stack has to be tipped to the side to get one out because there's not enough room at the top. They don't stack anything like the way the photo shows.I saw some people complained that they seem to be worn down by dishwashing. I could see where that could happen. I also imagine they would take up a lot of space in a dishwasher. As I said, we wash by hand, so it's not an issue.
