Are the arms wide enough to hold a plate and eat dinner off of?

Yes. 5 1/2 ". Like any arm be careful. I put plate on it for BBQ, but it's not a table. Great chairs. They have been out 2 Chicago winters and are still like new.

At the widest point, the armrests are 5.5" - we love these chairs and have had absolutely no problems with them! Enjoy.

I suppose so. We do sometimes. They are about half as wide as a dinner plate. You have to be careful, but you can definitely do it.

My dinner plates are just a little over 10 1/2" in diameter, and yes, they do fit and rotate just fine.The plates are a little bigger than the glass plate beneath, so you cannot allow anything to overhang the plate (like ears of corn).But the 10 1/2" plate fits and rotates well.

I have no problem with holding big dish plate 11". Actually side bar did not even touch the plates, it sits in lower third of a plate. I am very pleased with this rack, the only problem is that for glass rack there is no drip pan, so if you want to place it in a cabinet (my case) you will need some kind of protection.

The dishes are good size...large dinner plates, soups are shallow but wide enough to still hold enough. I love them!

I am sure you could. I have oversized dinner plates and they fit nicely. I was able to fit 8 of them in there no problem.

Yes. The two arms will hold a book that is about 4-5" when open. (We actually use it to hold a small netbook computer, though.)

It would depend on the size of the adults. My husband and I can have dinner on it comfortably and we could have 2 other smaller adults too, there just wouldn't be much room for anything other than plates.

This lap desk isn't large enough to hold a dinner plate along with a cup or glass, spoon(s), fork, napkins, etc. It's just too small. Sorry. �

I have Corelle plates and they do fit. They will knock over if you bump them. The plastic plates with a pretty thick rim that I use with my grandkids still fit, but not as well. I am doing dishes for 1 most of the time, so I rarely fill it full. It meets my needs.

If I need to use a dinner plate, I just put the scale close to the edge of the counter. The display is angled, so you can sort of stoop down and look under the edge of the plate. It's not made to accommodate large plates but it is possible. With a smaller, salad sized plate, there is very little obstruction at all.

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.

Smaller plates and bowls would fit, but, nothing big such as dinner plates or larger serving bowls

it is wide enough to hold a big T-Bone steak. That is why we bought it. Works great

Storage area is small. I don't think dinner plate would fit but maybe teacup and saucer. It's long but not deep

The dish will comfortably hold something 6 cm wide and 10 cm long. You would get a better answer if you stated the dimensions rather than weight of butter.

sure Karen ~ I have two of these and I have used mine for large dinner plates that are difficult to retrieve when stacked, for cutting boards and as you asked, for platters. These dish racks are pretty sturdy so I think unless your platters are huge and extremely heavy you should be good!
