Quality is very nice at a good price
These are my go to paper plates. The are just the right thickness for our use. You can't beat Dixie plates. I am a repeat buyer. A little expensive but worth it to me.

DURABLE, GREAT QUALITY
I ordered these plates for a family reunion. The quality is great! Stood up to plates full of spaghetti, various bbq meats and veggies, potato salad and more. No Accidents caused by structural failure of these plates. Pricing is actually better that the grocery store brands AND there are more plates in a package. These will be my go-to plates for all of my entertainment needs going forward.
