The Core Solids 10-Inch Dinner Plate Set by Zak Designs is a great staple on its own or a great mix and match piece with patterned dinnerware. Made from 100-percent melamine, the core solids collection is BPA free and dishwasher safe. Melamine has been popular for some time because of its durability and versatility. It can be used indoors and outdoors, is light weight, more resilient to drops and dings than porcelain and ceramic and is dishwasher safe (however, do not use in microwave). Zak adds style to the list; these plates have all the great characteristics of melamine ware plus, with their innovative and fresh design, they make melamine ware become stylish ware. Zak Designs offers a wide variety of dinnerware and travel ware, products at the forefront of tabletop trends for contemporary and on-the-go lifestyles. Playful, unexpected, spirited, colorful, modern, crisp and clean.
