• "Their lightweight also makes it very easy to handle and clean, and saves space to store."

Cons:

• "Only thing is the salad plates are very small so they're not really good for anything but maybe a small sandwich if that."

• "The bowls are more like an ice cream bowl and the salad plates are more like appetizer plates."
• "The salad plates are smaller than I thought."
