First off, let me say these plates and bowls have survived my chaotic kitchen like champions. My toddler has thrown them, dropped them, and even tried to use a bowl as a step stool (don’t ask)—zero cracks. The wheat straw material feels sturdy yet lightweight, which is a lifesaver for my weak wrists.

I was skeptical about the 'unbreakable' claim, but after six months of daily use (and abuse), they still look brand new. The matte black finish hides scratches surprisingly well, though I did notice they hold onto soap residue if you don’t rinse thoroughly. A quick scrub with baking soda fixes it.

The bowls are HUGE—way bigger than I expected. Perfect for giant salads or pasta nights, but admittedly overkill for cereal (I still grab my glass bowls for that). Cups run small though; great for kids’ juice but underwhelming for my coffee addiction.

Microwave performance? Flawless. No warping after reheating chili five days in a row, and unlike other plastics, tomato sauce doesn’t stain them pink. Dishwasher safe is a major win—they come out spotless every time.

Downsides? The texture shows every fingerprint (my husband calls them 'crime scene plates'), and one plate arrived with a rough edge that needed sanding. But for the price? Worth it. They’ve replaced all my chipped ceramic sets—even my mother-in-law asked where I got them.
