Calypso Basics by Reston Lloyd Melamine Bowl, Set of 6, White

The bowls didn't nestle very well, took up too much room in my cabinet and ended up donated to charity

I needed some plastic bowls for the kids cereal; as they keep breaking my nice ceramic dishware. These are great for cereal.

I bought these as cereal bowls as they coordinate with my dinnerware and fit the “plastic” category requested by my sister in law. Normally I refuse to keep plastic bowls in the house because I can’t keep my husband or sister-in-law from microwaving food in them and ruining the plastic (you wind up not being able to tell if the cheese is glued on or the plastic is melted or both.The second they came into the house my husband tried to microwave soup in one. They are not microwave safe.Now with that said he will try to microwave in throw away plastic containers, Tupperware mixing bowls, a plastic lid, and I’m pretty sure they are not microwave safe either. Does “not safe” mean damage to the product or humans? Rhetorical question. I am obviously ok with microwaving despite the warning and I also wash all clothes in the washer.These bowls are large enough for cereal, ice cream, popcorn, are durable (I dropped one already in our tarazzo floor) and look beautiful.

I love that these bowls are deep and the color was perfect - I was expecting them to be a big bigger (circumference) for soups and cereal but that just means we go back for seconds.

I had a couple of uglyish melamine rice bowls in the house, and they were what we kept reaching for. Lightweight, nice size, nice shape. Finally I decided to buy a set of 6 in plain white so they'd be attractive and we'd have enough. These are attractive, light, great to have around. We hand-wash our dishes, and these wash very easily and nicely. You never worry about breakage, which is always good with bowls, the first thing in any set of dishes to develop chips.A couple of caveats. They should warn people that you can't put them in the microwave. That's not a big deal, and it's a function of melamine, not a comment on the quality of the bowls, but important to know.and really, they could have been made to stack far more nicely than they do. I can barely get the six stacked on my bottom shelf, and they tip this way and that way, and the whole stack has to be tipped to the side to get one out because there's not enough room at the top. They don't stack anything like the way the photo shows.I saw some people complained that they seem to be worn down by dishwashing. I could see where that could happen. I also imagine they would take up a lot of space in a dishwasher. As I said, we wash by hand, so it's not an issue.

LOVE IT

I use these for everything- cooking, crafting, gardening, etc. They aren't too big and don't take up a lot of space. They are plastic so they don't break. The colors are nice and they are cheap too.

Love the product for my needs but 1 dinner plate came broken.

Very nice. Beautiful red. Purchased a second set

I love them. Very light weight and definitely easy to clean. I would definitely recommend for kids as I’ve dropped mine a couple times and have never broken.

One of our bowls arrived broken in the box. I ordered 3 boxes of these with only one broken bowl so that's a plus I guess 😒

This bowls look Ok but are not overly sturdy and really don't feel worth the price

great melamine bowls please note should not be used in microwave, and that goes for all melamine products.very light weight but sturdy bowls great for camping
