The New Dinner Fad

With 4 kids and one on the way I have decided that I need a change in our dinner table decor. Time to break free from chipped dishes and from having to buy new glasses because our set of 12 has gone down to 6! :) Melamine fits the bill, but aren't they usually cheap looking and well...ugly?

Melamine has really come a long way and is no longer considered a faux pas at the dinner table and are actually nice looking! They are great for parties and picnics as well and great if you happen to be the butterfingers in your house with dishes! They are break proof and dishwasher safe. The only downside is that they are not microwave safe, but which would you rather have pretty non breakables or pretty and microwave safe, but it's days are numbered?

I still can't decide which ones I really want, but here are some that are great looking and worth thinking about!
