Whole family loves this set
Both of my kids are growing and eating more, so I needed to replace the small set of plastic dishes we use everyday with something bigger and sturdier. I saw this 32 peice set online and it fit my criteria, so I couldn't wait to try it out. I was looking for something with bright, fun colors and this set has pink, yellow, teal and dark blue. The dishes are "adult" sized, the same size as my glassware but made of durable plastic. The packaging said top rack dishwasher safe only but the plates don't fit on my top rack so I've washed them on the bottom rack multiple times and haven't had any issues at all. The set comes with 6 small 18-ounce tumblers, 6 large 26-ounce tumblers, 6 cereal bowls, 6 dinner plates, 2 large serve bowls with lids, and 2 medium serve bowls with lids. I like the large bowls as serving bowls or mixing bowls. It's really nice they come with lids, so if there's still food leftover I can just put the lid on and stick it in the fridge. Overall I'm super happy with this whole set!

Will brighten up any table!
These dishes are colorful and fun. Well made with a sturdy plastic. Dishwasher safe, however, I'll hand wash and air dry as I don't want to take a chance on them warping, having water spots, etc… Great for children as they're lightweight and won't break if dropped. Perfect for poolside, camping, small apartments/studios, college dorms, slumber parties, and picnics. The set includes 2 large bowls as well as 2 smaller bowls. Perfect for salads, storing leftovers, etc…the bowls come with lids. (lids not included in photo) What I don't like is the “sets” aren't consistent. Two colors include 2 plates, 2 bowls, 2 larges tumblers, and 2 small tumblers. Using these 2 colors you could set a picnic table or table poolside for 4 people. The other 2 colors include 1 plate, 1 bowl, 1 large tumbler, and 1 small tumbler. My preference would be to combine the 2 colors that have one of each item into 1 set. Then you'd have place settings for five people instead of six, however, you'd have 3 colors that would all have the same amount of pieces.

    VERY STURDY PERFECT FOR SUMMERTIME/ANYTIME MEALS
    I absolutely LOVE this 32-piece set of Plastic Dinnerware Bundle set made by Mainstays! The cup sets come in 2 different sizes the bowl sets come in 3 different sizes. The medium & larger bowls come with lids for them which makes them perfect for a summer cook out or even for putting away your food in the fridge for later. I have even used the regular size bowl to heat up things in the microwave and the plastic is thick and still sturdy and does not come out flimsy at all. I was very surprised at how they handled heat in the microwave so that let me know this is a great sturdy set. Don't let the plastic fool you basically. I use this set daily whether it's a cup, or bowl or even both. I would definitely recommend buying this set if you have cookouts, kids, or just need a good reliable plastic set just to have in the home.

    Mainstays 32-Piece Plastic Dinnerware
    I got the Mainstays 32-Piece Plastic Dinnerware Bundle Set. It came really nicely packaged. The variety and quantity of pieces is very generous for the price. I especially liked the 2 large serving bowls with lids and 2 medium serving bowls with lids. It also includes 6 small cups, 6 large cups, 6 bowls and 6 dinner plates. It would be good for a college dorm or 1st time apartment owner. The colors were very bright and vibrant. The set I got was bright "warm" colors in pink, yellow, green and two shades of blue. They're not completely solid colored or see though, I would call them opaque. Great for summer picnics. The plastic is thick and sturdy. They're a good size. Great for kids. My only complaint is the plates show knife marks really bad, you cant cut anything on them with a real knife. I would still consider them a good value for the price though. I've washed them multiple times in the dishwasher and so far so good. Overall good quality for the price.

    Fun Set for Spring, Summer
    This is a fun set of low-cost dishes if you're needing inexpensive dishes (college, dorm, apartment, etc), or if you'd just like to change out your regular dishware for spring or summer. The cups are big and roomy, as are the bowls. The dinner plates are big too. And the storage containers are great for storing cut fruit, leftover soups, etc. I appreciate having lids for those included. These are BPA-free so no worries about that. They're microwave-safe and safe on top rack of dishwasher too. The colors are fun and vibrant.

    Nice set!
    This is a 32 piece set of bowls, plates, cups, and bowls with lids. The cereal bowls are nice and big, there offs a total of 12 cups (small and large) in all colors. They are made of a nice thick plastic that would be good for outside or inside. They are easy to wash and dish washer safe. We will get lots of use out of these this summer. You get a lot for your money.

    Love this dinnerware!
    So happy to receive this set. People had walked away with all my cups. This set had 6 tall cups and 6 smaller cups and 6 plastic plates which are perfect for my grandkids. It also has small bowls and larger bowls. They are in different pretty colors and highly recommend this set.

    Fast becoming our favorite!
    We had been waiting for this item with some anticipation. When it finally arrived we were so excited! Upon opening the box, our excitement only grew! They are some of the most adorable dishes I've ever seen or had! The colors are soft and a little opaque and they just look like something good will be served up on them! The plates are large enough to hold enough food to satisfy even the hungrier ones in your group. The bowls are large enough for a big salad or one really nice salad! And we love that they have various sizes on the glasses. Enough to quench even the thirstier ones at the table. We love that they're a high grade material, won't break and so far, haven't collected any stains from whatever we've put on or in them. The covered bowls with lids are just icing on the cake! And we love that there's 6 of everything! These are fast becoming our favorite everyday dishes!

    Fantastic set of dishes
    I will admit I didn't think I would like this set of dishes. I tend to like glass over plastic so thought this might ba a good set for outdoor use. I have been looking for ways to reduce waste thus figured this was a good option over paper plates and styrofoam cups. We initially used these for our 1st cookout of the year. However they have now been incorporated into our daily use. My kids love the cups and grab the bowls for cereal. We all love that they are dishwasher and microwave safe. My daughter uses them for her iced coffee. They are sturdy, colors are pleasant and they are just nice dishes to use! The plates are large with a nice rim around the edge to catch liquid and smaller items. The bowls are wide providing more depth and less spills. They wash up easily and nicely. This is such a great set of dishes my only regret is not getting them sooner!

    Non-breakable and easy to clean.
    The best thing about these dishes is they are non-breakable. I was so tired of having my real plates get chipped and broken. Having several children these are perfect! The size is nice and so are the colors. They are very lightweight and can be put in the dishwasher on the top rack and used in the microwave for reheating. Good quality and easy to clean.

    Beautiful Colors
    I've loved this dinnerware set so far. I love the colors & the material feels strong and resistant. Perfect for kids. I also love that the dishes are microwavable. I've tested the bowls and they have held their shape so far. They get a little hot out of the microwave, but not bad at all. My only complaint is that the plates do seem to scratch easily. I received one plate with some visible scratches (see pic).

    Picnic ready
    This MainStays Teal and Gray 32 Plastic tableware is an everyday staple in most homes and today's vast selection delivers far more than thin plates in kitschy designs. Thanks to innovations in plastics, many plastic dinnerware products are practically unbreakable and dishwasher safe, too. Some are even made specifically for microwave use. Perfect for picnics, childrens birthdays or even barbeques.

    Generous picnic set with sturdy materials
    I was pleasantly surprised with this set. It contains dishes in 2 different colors - teal and gray. You get 32 pieces made up of 4 serving or storage bowls with lids, 6 plates, 6 bowls and 12 cups. The plastic is thick and sturdy, so in theory it should withstand hot food, accidental drops and many dishwasher runs. The grey color is a little dull but the teal is just right for summer barbecues and pool parties. I also tested the storage bowls with the lids and they fit perfectly. They are not airtight however, so the best use would be as a cover in the fridge or outside to keep the bugs off. You wouldn't be able to transport wet food in them as it would leak out. Overall a great set to have this summer.

    Great Plastic Set
    This plastic dinnerware set is nice. It is microwave friendly and top dishwasher safe. This set is great for picnics. The best part of the set is the big bowls that come with the tops, perfect for covering food back up and popping into the fridge. The only con is, I wish the whole set was the same color.

    Fantastic set of plastic dinnerware
    I am very pleased with this 32 piece set. 6 tall drinking glasses easily holds 20 ounces with plenty of ice. 6 medium drinking glasses - were my holiday guests favorite choice. Perfect size for mixing in packets of fiber; great choice for a bedside drinking glass. 6 large dinner plates - these will be used often for outdoor meals when the weather is warm. 6 individual bowls - too big for soup or cereal, but perfect size for a salad or individual bowl of popcorn. 2 medium serving/ mixing bowls with 2 lids - nice size for fresh cut fruits, muffins, and storing leftovers. 2 large serving/ mixing bowls with 2 lids - my favorite out of the set! They are lightweight, so an excellent choice to mix pastas with sauce, mixing salads, making dough. The Artic White color is nice, simple, clean and elegant. They look very nice as serving bowls on the table. Snap one of the lids on, and the bowl becomes a quick, functional storage container. I have only had the set a short time, but am very pleased with them. They wash well in the dishwasher, no discoloration from foods and no warping from the hot dishwasher. I recommend this set.

    Nice starter set
    This is a good starter set for those just beginning as it includes a good variety of basic needs. I am not, however just starting out, so this actually is a good set for if you don't want to use your glassware etc. This is great if you have young children because it's unbreakable and light. This would do well for extra people over and great for like bbq's and what not. I don't think it'd fair well with a long microwaving as I suspect anything that may drip (like pizza rolls for example) may burn it, which is a bit typical for thinner plasticware. This does say dishwasher safe, top rack only. I actually did top and bottom rack without any issues, however if you do put them in the dishwasher use air dry and not heat dry because I can see it potentially warping them if you "made" them fit into an area. The plates remind me of frisbees, lol, seriously, they're a little odd but hey, they'll hold food. Not sure if they'll slightly bend with heavier foods...meaning if you have like chicken quarters or pasta and try to hold it with one hand how sturdy it'd be. I get the sense it may have troubles with that, so 2 hands, firm surface is probably best. The bowls are generously large, which is nice to have that option since sometimes you just need a bigger bowl to eat from lol. The bowls and cups are all of a little thicker feeling plastic than the plates. The color options are nice, goes well with if you have multiple children you can say, "what color were you using?" to help avoid mix ups or controversy there. They are plastic, so they may be susceptible to staining from pasta based items. I don't make those things often so I haven't tested it, just going by past years experience with using a plastic based dish to hold these type of foods in/on. If they do become stained I have found a tiny splash of bleach, with soap and hot water and let it sit for a few minutes or so helps get it to come off. Again, though, when you don't have anything, have small children, or are having a get together, these would be a good option.

    Hot or Cold
    The design of these plates bowls and cups really takes into consideration the comfort factor. They are easy to hold and really easy to clean. The best part about these cups and bowls is that if you are having a hot soup it keeps it hot and in the cups if you're drinking something cold it keeps it cold. These cups have actually become my favorite for coffee.

    Love it!
    First off the colors are really cute! I love the blue so much in it, it matches my kitchen perfectly. The whole set has gone threw the dishwasher twice in the hotest pot and pan setting and they all came our perfectly fine, even the lids so this set is super durable. I did also let tomato sauce sit in one of the bowls overnight and then run it threw the dishwasher as well and you can't tell at all that there was anything in the bowl. This dish set is perfect for kids too as everything is plastic. You get 6 large plastic plates, 6 larger cereal size bowls, 6 small cups, 6 large cups, 2 small storage bowls with lids and 2 large storage bowls with lids. Overall i think this is a great set and I think ill be ordering more in the future.
