Are these rigid or flexible plastic? (Just want to be sure they won't crack like melamine bowls do.)

The Bowl set is ridgid but appear to be pretty strong. I dropped one on the tile floor and it didin't crack. Not the samematerial I believe as melamine.

They are a soft plastic and you can squeeze them a little. Not are hard as my other set of Cuisinart bowls - I did have one of those crack. I have not had any problem with them. One of the things I like about this set is that they don't collect water in the bottem rim when upside down in the dishwasher like my other Cuisinart bowls do.

They are only slightly flexible. I returned mine because they weren't as flexible as the pictures and description led one to believe. I was afraid that they would break easily, too. Good luck!

Amy- They are indeed plastic and very sturdy for being so flexible. I think I bought them in January (I'm old and forget). They have served me well, as I have been able to take the front mats out easily and wash them during the bad weather and they still look like new. Jim

They're very pliable. I bent one several ways as a test, and it didn't crack at all. I think you will be happy with them for crafts.

They are rigid, but somewhat flexible. Cannot be rolled up. I don't think they would snap.

They are not flimsy by any means. A good solid weight, but not heavy. Best parts, the lips for lifting and the silicone bottom keeps the bowls from slipping on granite countertops or any other smooth top. Love them...and they are pretty as well as functional. Although it says 3 bowl set, mine came with four.

Yes, plastic, VERY flexible, I'm still using the same replacement since I got them, honestly they seemed cheaper then the ones I originally got but I got 9 extras to go :) it's a good buy, espically if you went all over the city looking for them.

Yes, you can consider them a very firm plastic. Hard as in durable - not breakable. They are quite sturdy. I have been using them regularly for a few years, and they are still in perfect condition. Hope this helps.

I believe them to be rubber. They have a little flex to them unlike hard plastic ones.

They are flexible. I don't know what to compare their thickness to though. They are on a fabric, not paper though.

yes, these are bent. I like them very much! so much better than plastic types!

No, they are pretty rigid. Several in the bottom were cracked so I would not consider them pliable.

They're a hard plastic, but not particularly thick or rigid, so they can flex.

Yes, they are made of plastic. I haven't tried them out yet, but they seem solid!

They are plastic. They are not flimsy. They are solid. The teeth appear to be plastic as well.

These plates are NOT plastic and they are flimsy. I ended up buying the Chinet dinner platter for my event. I really isn't a platter, but just a nice size dinner plate. It is much sturdier. My caterer said those are the plates he uses. Hope this helps!

They are sturdy, but flexible. More like a bendable rubber than stiff plastic. I stand for 12 hours in a kitchen, and they are great for my feet.
