12-Piece Patterned Melamine Dinnerware Set

These dishes are beautiful. They have a nice weight to them, looking and feeling like ceramic. They have a nice lip, perfect for helping in food slippage, and for saucy dishes. The color goes perfect with my earth toned kitchen. The sizes are nice and large. They stack nice and are pretty durable and easy to clean. I only wish they were microwave safe.

This dinnerware set is elegant, lightweight and has a premium feel. We had used it daily for over a month and its durability was impressive. The plates show no signs of scratching and the color remains vibrant despite frequent dishwasher use. They’ve proven to be chip resistant, withstanding the bumps and knocks in our crowded cabinets.

That said, we’ve stopped using them as our everyday dishes since they’re not microwave safe. It was inconvenient having to reach for our older plates and bowls from the top shelf just to reheat meals or make oatmeal - something we do often.

However, these will work for small get togethers, so we've relegated them to the top of the cabinet for infrequent use

Break resistance
Love the color
They look really good

Love that it’s non-toxic and lightweight. The ivory color is classic and goes with everything, and the set feels durable but still stylish. Perfect for indoor/outdoor use. Great price for the quality too — impressed!

For non ceramic or stoneware this is an excellent set of dishware. The finish of the dishes, bowls and plates are top notch. Unless you really examine it, it would be hard to know that it wasn't made of stoneware or ceramic. It doesn't have the plasticky feel that most plastic dishes have. This is more like a super hard polymer that will not break from being dropped. It's got a really nice weight to it as well. Not sure how long the finish will hold after heavy use though.

The pictures I took don't do them justice. The colors on this set are vibrant. It would really stand out for entertaining. The fact that it comes with plates, dishes and bowls make this a great value as well. I have one gripe and one concern with this set though. The concern is that the material they're made of it "melamine". I don't know much about it but after looking up online I see that there are some suggestions that it can be toxic, especially if it is heated. The dishware says that it's dishwasher safe (see video & pics) but online data suggests that melamine is not. The dishes also say that they are not microwave safe, which is a no-go for me. That's too bad too because I really wanted to like this set.

I am very satisfied with the melamine tableware set from Larder & Vine. From the first moment you can see that it is a well-designed product: the plates and bowls have an elegant finish that looks much more sophisticated than one would expect from melamine. They have received several compliments when I have visitors!

In addition to the design, what I liked the most is its durability and lightness. Unlike ceramic or pottery, I don't have to worry about breaks if they fall off, which is ideal if there are children at home or just for stress-free daily use. They are also very easy to wash and dishwasher safe, which is a great plus.

Another important point for me is that they are free of toxins, which gives me peace of mind when using them to serve hot or cold meals.

I’m only sad about the microwave. Other than that I couldn’t be happier with the quality. Great for the cabin since we let friends use it too.

This is a nice set so far it’s been holding up very well. We’ve been using it religiously every day the bowls, the plates nothing is broken. They hold up very well. They can get a little hot in the microwave, but I wouldn’t leave them in there for more than four minutes, which is what I did and I noticed the plate did get a little hot

I know that due to the material these are not microwave safe, but I very much wish they were. They are nice looking plates and although they can't go in the microwave, they are dishwasher safe but honestly, I find them very easy to clean by hand as well. Food just doesn't stick to this material that easily. The black set looks more like a dark blue/gray to me so it's not a deep black for sure.

These dishes are sturdy yet lightweight, which I really appreciate. After a few weeks of daily use, they show no wear at all. The plates and saucers are a great size, and the bowls are larger than what I’m used to—but I actually like that! The colors are vibrant and lively, adding a nice touch to the table.

That said, I was disappointed to find out they’re not microwave-safe. I’ve been using melamine dishes since the '80s and never realized this could be an issue. I didn’t notice the warning in the product listing at first, so I did some research. The information out there is confusing—some sources say melamine is safe in the microwave, others warn about off-gassing or the material becoming brittle. I even still have old melamine microwave dinner plates from decades ago that I now use under plants. They never exploded or dried out, just yellowed with age.

Still, with all the controversy around modern melamine, I’ve decided not to take the chance. I prefer dishes I can use for reheating leftovers directly in the microwave without needing to transfer food to another plate. So, for that reason, I wouldn't choose melamine dinnerware for everyday use anymore.

Lastly, I think the price is a bit high compared to other sets I’ve seen—about double, in fact. That’s the only reason I’m docking a star. To be fair, the seller does clearly state they’re not microwave-safe, so that part is on me.

These are thick and have a good weight to them. They wash up very easily. They are durable and can handle the microwave with no issues. All are very good sized, as well. I like how smooth they are and how the plates have just the right amount of edge without limiting the surface area. The color is a charcoal just under black. These look good, too.

Thanks for reading my review!

This dinnerware set is nice. The color is a smoky gray and in general all the pieces look spectacular. I love the lightweight aspect and they feel tough enough to handle cutlery. The largest dish is smaller than anticipated so make sure you check the specs before ordering. The only other comment worth mentioning is that a couple of bowls came with manufacturer's defects; at least, I'm assuming the scratch/scuff marks around the rim were caused in the manufacturing process.

After breaking my third Dollar Tree dinner plate in as many days, I knew it was time to switch to something more durable. I landed on this 12-piece melamine set, and I was instantly drawn to the vibrant pattern. When they arrived, I was even more impressed—the colors are even brighter and more cheerful in person than they appeared online!

The dishes are lightweight yet feel sturdy in hand. They’re dishwasher safe, which is a huge plus, but do note the warning on the back: not microwave safe. From personal experience, I can confirm that microwaving melamine is a bad idea—definitely follow the instructions.

My only gripe is the price. At the time I ordered, the set cost more than double what I would typically expect to pay for melamine. While the design is lovely, there’s nothing particularly unique about the material or construction to justify the higher price.

That said, I’m still very happy with this purchase. The pattern brings a fresh, happy vibe to my kitchen, and I haven’t broken a plate since!

This dinnerware set is just beautiful! I love the design and colors. They make it seem like your eating out for a special occasion. They definitely don't look like plastic, which I was concerned about when I first placed the order. These should hold up very well and are unlikely to break due to the material. I am glad I got these and I think you will be too!

Love love love these beautiful plates! I got the floral pattern, and they are a vibrant red/orange/gold combination. I wanted to replace my decades-old heavy stoneware with these. I’m hoping that there are other pieces available, so I can have matching cups and saucers too. These are substantial, feeling quite sturdy. The plate has a very slightly recessed bottom and raised side, not just a flat plate. The only drawback for me was that these cannot go in the microwave. They are dishwasher safe, but not microwave safe. Not exactly a bargain at $99, but they are great quality.

This dinnerware set is a stylish and functional choice for everyday dining. The ivory tone adds understated elegance, making it versatile enough for casual meals or special occasions. Each piece has a sleek finish and a lightweight feel ideal for both indoor and outdoor settings. Whether you're hosting a garden brunch or just upgrading your weeknight tableware, the clean design offers a modern refresh.

What stands out is its durability. Made from break-resistant melamine, the plates and bowls are tough enough for busy households but still feel smooth and polished. I appreciate that they’re non-toxic and dishwasher-safe, which makes cleanup easy without sacrificing safety or style. Even after repeated use, they maintain their color and texture impressively well.

Overall, this 12-piece set hits a sweet spot between form and function. It's perfect for anyone looking for dependable, attractive dishware that doesn't require babying. I'd definitely recommend it to families, entertainers, or anyone who wants a low-maintenance upgrade with timeless appeal.

Wow! This dinnerware set is stunning! The colors are so bold and vibrant. Since they are Melamine, I expected them to look "cheap" but these are absolutely beautiful. They have a more ceramic look and feel than the Melamine I am used to. I will absolutely be buying more sets and very much recommend!
