I’m not sure where I first encountered this, but Melamine dinnerware is definitely some of the most satisfying dinnerware out there. It’s funky, it’s colorful, and so smooth. If you’ve never heard of it before, basically it’s this dinnerware that’s made out of really hard plastic-type material, and it’s known for being really colorful, durable, and the patterns are often very satisfying if you decide to opt against the solid colors. It was really popular back in the 60s and 70s, so a lot of people apparently collect the vintage stuff. It’s all over eBay. But there are other stores that carry it, like Target, and this awesome site that features tons of different types of it. Mmmm mix and match, creamy plastic dinnerware.

Eating a meal on a melamine plate can be the difference between something that satiates your appetite, and something that truly satisfies. You won’t have that awful screeching sound of your knife slipping across a glass or porcelain plate because the thick, durable plastic of Melamine provides a scratch-resistant, utensil-friendly surface.

Beyond eating, though, I have a feeling that Melamine dinnerware is pretty amazing to stack in the cabinet. Can you imagine it? Instead of hearing the heavy clang of your heavy dishes slide on top of one another as you take them out of the dishwasher and put them in the cabinet, you’ll hear a softer, more pleasant sound of the plates and cups being put in their proper places.

Dinnerware is also one of those things that happens to be a lot more satisfying when there are several different pieces, than if it’s just one thing standing alone. To see what I mean, look at the pictures below (sorry the formatting is a little weird):
