After years eating meals off of round plates, eating off of square plates is a nice change! These Luminarc brand dinner plates are not completely square; they have rounded corners. The description says they're 10.5 inch plates, however measured diagonally they're 11 ¼ inches, and about 1 inch deep. The bowl of the plate, the part where you would put most of your food, measures about 6¼ inches diagonally. This may be helpful in not putting more food on your plate than you should or can eat.
If you're familiar with and use the Corelle brand of dinnerware, you will definitely like these Luminarc plates, as they're also made of tempered glass that's chip resistant, lightweight, and non-porous which resists bacteria growth. I think they're perfect for every day family meals.
I have only owned these plates for a couple of weeks, but they've been through the dishwasher, hand-washed, and microwaved, and so far they've survived fine. Oddly, there's no small print on the bottom of the plates indicating they're microwave and dishwasher-safe, but you can be rest assured that they are. I'm hoping to get many years of dinner meal pleasure out of these Luminarc plates, just like Corelle.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Clean, Easy to Use, Good Size & Weight, Looks Great, Nice Design
