Review on Naked Eco 10 inch Palm Leaf Plates - Sustainable Alternative to Disposable Bamboo Plates - Compostable, Bio-degradable, and Ecofriendly - Heavy Duty Party Plates (25Pc) by William Bell

10/10 for plates! I didn't notice any weird chemical smell and smelled upstairs and downstairs. On the underside there is a very faint, slightly sweet natural smell of bamboo. Like honeysuckle - almost none, but natural. I also did a microwave test and after 1:30 nothing went wrong. The plate remained intact. This plate in the photo kept my food in the fridge overnight before reheating it in the microwave. It doesn't peel or break at all! As you can see it didn't absorb the juices and didn't over dry my food. They are perfect for a party! We cut our steak into plates with knives. Everyone liked them and I had no complaints. Much stronger than paper plates. Obviously not as strong as a traditional china plate. We didn't have anything super naughty or wet so I can't talk about that. I think they would suit well for a wedding although they are very light - this is the bamboo for you! If it's outside, be sure to weigh them down or the wind will blow them away. They also go great with disposable bamboo cutlery as you can see in the photo :) Hope this helps!
