For those who have filled dinner plate case with 12 plates, are the handles strong enough to use?

Yes, it is very strong, no worry to transfer the box from place to place holding the handles.
924286
yes, because presumably you are only lifting for a short period of time. also not sure you can get 12 dinner plates in one???

Yes, They are strong enough. I have lenox china in them, so they are thin plates.

could hold2 dinner plates, 3 if you are very careful, beautiful for a try to hold coffee and tea service as I'm using it.

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.

They will work I think. My plates are smaller as well. I ended up adding some extra padding around the outside of the dishes, but inside the case. It's added protection.. and there's room for it.

I've never filled it up. It depends how fat the handles are. You really can fit as many as you can jam in there. I would say it would hold a minimum of 10 knives and maybe up to 30 if you had really skinny handles.

I've only used them to hang pottery plates/platters, some quite heavy. I have always used just one and had no problems. I think you will be fine with two disks.

I am currently stacking mine 3 up on a shelf in my closet. They are remarkably sturdy when loaded with a dozen plates. I think you will be safe stacking up to four boxes tall especially if you put the lightest boxes on top.

Yes, definitely. The green handles work just fine. Very strong, won't tear.

I don't know because I don't know how thick the handles of the flatware is. If they are rather thin, a set of 12 might fit

i actually have it for 4, for daily meals. My silverware has colored handles.

I think it will entirely depend on the size and shape of your dinner plates. The bed of the scale is quite large and it's well-balanced. I've had no issue with a variety of different plates and containers.

As all the others have answered, they are very light. They take up 1/2 the room on the shelf thatmy stoneware did. My hands are not strong anymore, and they are easy for me to lift onto the shelf. Allof the dinner plates, together at one time (8) do not weigh very much. Hope this helps you.

should hold eight with no problem unless they have big handles or something

Yes, I only have a little issue with my 12 knives, but the pull out on the side can handle the one or two extra.

Quite a few if you use the napkin part for knives. We use it for dinners at church with the handle removed.

Well that depends on whether you mean plates, bowls, glasses, etc? But I'd say if properly standing up, not piled in, I can fit about 4-6 dinner plates and a few glasses at a time, or several glasses and a couple cereal bowls, for example. I do have large, deep dinnerware so that is a factor for me. If you use it for cookware, it can basically fit one large pot or pan with a few small utensils or measuring cups. For me it's great for drying a few things that wouldn't fit into a full load in the dishwasher, but definitely can't hold all the dinnerware and glassware after a family meal for four. Hope that helps.

I have 11 inch plates in them, and they fit fine. Actually, 14 plates cite, and I put stuffing on top.
