I was thinking of buying two of these to use for picnic caddies. Are they big enough to hold 8-10 inch plates in the long side?

The interior measurement on the long side is about 8 1/2", so yes for 8" plates.

I have these plates in my motorhome which is now in storage. Sri! As I recall, they are similar to our Nortaki dinnerware which measure 10.5 in

They are very good for dessert - cake, cookies but too small for salad. If the teacup is small, they may work, but probably better to get plates with the rims for that purpose. Hope this helps.

no, they are made to fit rectangular picnic tables. They are sized generously so that they fit even wide picnic tables but they are definately NOT round. They are, however really nice with a plastic layer in them so even if something gets spilled, it pretty much just stays on the paper. I really like them.

You can fit up to 12",but it might be a little snug and it may not be able to hold as many. I have had no problems with getting a whole pile for 10" plates in there.

I will try some dinner plates on mine and see what the shelf holds. I have 10.5" diameter Fiesta ware dinner plates and they fit on the bottom shelf. I use mine in my computer desk to store a box containing my Christmas card lists and last year's cards and the top shelves hold boxes of new Christmas cards I bought on sale last year.

I just tried a plate I have that is 9 1/2" in diameter and it fits well. The holes on each tier measure 8 1/2" in diameter. I think 9 1/4" will fit just fine. It will also hold much larger plates. I love this holder and use it for many things. I'll be happy to answer any other questions you have about it.

I think so. We use ours as dinner plates - fitting a meal onto them. These are a nice size but not huge. You could easily fit a nice steak onto them. They also dont chip easily when using dishwasher. We love ours.

Yes. This would work to hold average sized vegetables like tomates, potatoes, onions and the like.

Yeah, it's got a slot to put plates in there. Not sure how secure they will be though. Large plates would fit done

The largest holder in this set (for dinner plates) is exactly 12" in circumference. It's 7 inches high. I'm not sure I completely understood the question but if your plates are 11 1/2 to 12" wide, yes they will fit in the dinner plate holder.

I stored very large stoneware plates. Square plates would fit just double check the dimensions of this container.

No, it's not really big enough to hold dinner plates for serving. I agree with others - a couple of dessert plates. It's better for putting small food items on for people to take from.

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

This is not easy to explain. The spaces between the dividers are about 2 1/2" so a platter or dish that was 2 1/2" deep would slide in, and these three spaces make the 8 1/2" measurement. The 10" is the length of each space, so a plate that was 10" in diameter would fit without hanging out either side, though you will not use this for such a small dish. This is a heavy rack that holds deep and wide items sturdily. If that description is not clear, ask again.

Since the diagonal distance across an 8" dish is around 11 1/2" I would say they 10 x 13 would work just fine.

HI,I sell vintage dishes and glassware at various outdoor venues. I bought 5 of these to display dishes. They work great for me. I can usually fit a dinner plate, salad plate and saucer into each opening. I feel that the rack would be sturdy enough for cutting boards. If you are moving the rack when full, you need to hold from the bottom.
