Review on Copag 1546 Design 100% Plastic Playing Cards: Jumbo Index Double Deck Set in Green/Burgundy - Ideal for Poker by Donotello Figueroa

So my wife and I recently started playing poker (not for money and sadly nobody to play with). We also love Spades and I was able to find a 2 player Spades game (we are still working on getting kids to play Spades). So far we've gone through about 4 decks. Everyone is great the first time, but more often than not they were made after the first (maybe second) use (still usable but not mixed like new). We've had this deck for a month now and we've used it many times (until now I haven't opened the second deck). They're still shuffling like they're brand new cards. According to other reviews, these cards have a 100% chemical smell, although I think it dissipates with use.
