Are they too heavy? I have some plates now that are too heavy. Substantial? Could you hold three of them stacked with one hand?

Hey Kim, I know exactly what you are saying. If your hands are fragile or wrist are weak, maybe not. With me, 4 in one hand aren't an issue. But I was curious so I weighed them on my kitchen scale, they weighed 27.7 ounces. Hope this helps*

I would say yes. They are sturdy yet elegant. The sizes of the plates is a plus for me.

Hi ASC...I've had 3 sets of this dinnerware & though I don't use it for everyday, I have had no problem at all with scratches and mine are now about 4 years old. I do take care when I stack them but have never put any covering between. They are nicely heavy (I like that, some may not) so I suspect if one wasn't careful they might cause some damage, but I would think it would have to be from pretty harsh handling. I have been delighted with my sets & quite enjoy using them from time to time & especially at Christmas (that's why I got 3 sets). So far I've never had a piece chipped, cracked, or broken. And by the way, I'm in my 70's and can lift them just fine but if I was going to have a group of older folks to entertain, I would not use them to entertain buffet style. I find them lovely as do my company. No matter how attractive & fancy some of the paper or plastic plates are, I find they are generally not sturdy enough for other than picnics or backyard outings. Hope yours works as well for you as they have for me! Rh

I would definitely add extra padding, they are just a tad bigger than the plates. I put padding in between but they still shift around just a little. So padding in between and around them to secure from breaking during moving.

When I bought them, they appeared to be too flimsy, however, after hanging 3 plates they felt OK. The plates I currently have are only 13 inches in dia., and they appear to be quite secure after about three years on the wall. If you buy the larger hangers I think you will be OK with them. Good luck. (Mike)

Yes, they are "crazy" strong!! The best way to do it, is to hold them next to a sharp edged counter. Then push the top one off onto the counter and push it away. Only do One at a time, and only have a couple on the counter at a time... So don't sling back together. I found this by googling the question... I think there was actually a video on YouTube.

They can probably be stacked, but I don't know how stable it would be. I only bought one, but I really love it.

, I have not thought they are fragile. Not.easily stackable that is my main comment. Beautiful, yes, and unique. Hope this helps :)

They are fine for most plates, starting with dinner size on the bottom. There is another product described as heavy weight. I ordered both and the heavy weight is definitely stronger.

For me, the answer is yes. I find them heavier than a lot of my good china plates.

I think you could. You might want to find a way to secure them together if you're stacking anything remotely heavy or breakable though. For light/unbreakable items, you'd probably be fine.

The plates that we have are smooth. I purchased th as a gift and have seen them hung, but I can't answer with certainty regarding your question. I'm sorry.

Negative. When you open them up they are a little wider from the bottom then they are from the top so you cant stack them in a normal fashion. You could however do odd things with them but I would say it is at your own risk...

I don't think this would fall over however I could see it rattle if there were just a couple of dishes in the holder as they would bump against each other. Having mine stacked as I do, there is no rattling because my stands are full of plates.

I have some dished on mine that are pretty heavy. They are holding up just fine.

I don't really know how to respond to that without being objective but I would say that they have their weight to them without being too heavy. (And with this I am referring to the larger pieces.) I would tell you that if you are interested in this set, I've owned mine for 8 months now and they still look brand new and I use these pretty much every day. Hope this helps.

As pretty as these dishes are, you may find them a bit heavy. They are quite sturdy but the mugs maybe too heavy for you to lift easily when filled with tea or coffee.
