Colourworks Plastic Bowls for Parties and Children or Camping, Melamine Made, in Classic Colours, Set of 4

These bowls are a good size & lovely bright colours. Bought for use on camping trips. My first set were smashed on delivery which makes me wonder how sturdy they are but overall they seem like decent quality bowls.

Gotta be honest, these are, really, just plastic cereal bowls. We bought these about 8 months ago and they get 5 stars for a few reasons:1. They're sturdy, not flimsy. While they're not advised for microwave use, we pop them in the microwave to warm our cereal up on cold mornings (full power, 40 seconds) and they're just fine for that - no cracking or chipping. When they've been warmed, they don't get any flex but remain absolutely rigid.2. The colours are lovely and bright and they haven't faded over time as some colours do. This could be because the colour isn't applied (painted on) but inherent (part of the plastic itself).3. They've coped with being dropped a few times now and haven't marked at all. In fact, they've not really scratched or marked at all, which - for plastic items - is impressive.4. They don't float in the washing up bowl! Which seems an absurd thing to be pleased about, but when you're washing 4 plastic bowls up at once and they're all floating about, it gets annoying!Yeah. They're a little more expensive than other brands and items, but they're definitely worth it. I'm very pleased with these, which is a surprising thing for me to say because - as I said at the start - they are "just" plastic bowls - but really well-made ones, and that does make a difference after all!

Very good product

Other reviews regretted that these bowls cannot be used in the microwave, but as this wasn't a requirement for my purchases (yes, I made repeat buys!) I haven't marked them down for it.I needed bowls for someone with a co-ordination issue, for whom normal (aka breakable) crockery is a problem. The bowls are in strong, bold colours, without being babyish, ultra-garish, etc. They are also quite deep and so hold sufficient to satisfy and adult. So far they seem to be robust and doing the job, which is why I bought some more before they went out of stock.

One of the bowls was received broken and I am not able to leave the house at the moment as I am looking after my disabled mum after a bereavement in the family.

Daughter bought a stock of plastic plates and bowls for use in the garden and for the kids. Within a month all were shattering. So I offered to look for a good melamine replacement.I was aware of the reservations of users, who complained of fragility and wrappings.None of these problems have occurred, so far, with the dozen I bought.The bowls arrived the next morning after order. The lable came off with no effort.First impression are that they are substantial for the price; good size and definitely Microwave and Dishwasher proof. Those were the first trials!They have proven so popular with the tribe, that I note the adults are using 'em in preference to the ceramics in the tableware cupboard.UPDATEAs with the plates, the bowls are surviving the heavy use in excellent condition. An excellent product!

So far it washes well, and is light weight but robust and easy to identify ingredients for mixing.15cm diameter is right size for my needs.Stackable, saves shelf space. Must not use in microwave as per instruction.It’s British made which gives me assurance of durability and hygiene.

These bowls are a great size from anything like your cereal or soup. Very sturdy and easy to clean
