The plates/bowls on the CreativeWare 3 Tier Unbreakable Buffet Server appear to be ROUND not oblong. Please give the diameter of the plates/bowls.

I had one that broke, if you drop them in a hard ceramic floor yes they will break, they are hard plastic. There big enough to put plenty of food, there about 14 inches long and 6 inches wide about 2 inches deep, I was able to glue it back and cove with plastic wrap and it works fine, I have feed over 50 people with tier buffet in one single party.

Gloria, they are oblong its a very nice quite large enough to hold everything for a nice size gathering I have 2 sets can't give you the diameter of them right now as they are up high in my pantry shelf when not using but this set will not disappoint you I'm quite sure. Hope this helps

About a half an inch. I've used these plates twice for parties that were buffet style & there was plenty of room for everything!

Sorry, once it broke I threw it out. I can tell you it is very small. One dinner plate barely fit in it. Hope this helps.

The plates are 3.5", not big enough to put real food on. We bought this for my 7 year old daughter and she loves it!

A single post is 98 mm long plate-to-plate and 112 mm total length (end to end including the screw). It's about 4 mm wide at the narrowest part of the post. A few things to consider... the pieces are cast, not machined, so the screw threads don't fit well, and when screwed together it might not be totally straight, or completely tight. We bought additional rubber washers to tighten the sections down better. Also, the screw on the bottom sticks out a bit, so unless the dishes you use have a significant foot, there will be even more wobble. Because of the wobble factor, we didn't feel comfortable going three high with stoneware due to the weight, but two levels (a 12-in dinner plate and a 9-inch salad plate) worked really well. We were able to do three tiers with melamine plates since they are lighter, but the stand is somewhat prone to tipping. We bought little rubber stick on feet to help even out the bottom. You will need a 1/4 inch diamond drill bit to do stoneware or china (we bought the dewalt here on Amazon). We were able to drill melamine plates with a regular wood drill bit, but it dulled quickly. Overall, it's fairly cheap hardware (not great quality control, chromed pot metal) but the price is low, and it looks nice assembled. If you're using fine china and trying to get something that looks expensive, though, you might want to consider a different product.

I just got two sets of these yesterday (they are beautiful). The dinner plate diameter is 11 inches (actually it measured for me at 10 15/16th inches). The soup/salad bowl measures (from outer rim to outer rim, diameter) 9 inches. And the salad/dessert plate's diameter is 8 inches.

They are pretty large... especially the large plate. I have seen platters that size. Large plate - 12" Small plate - 10" Rimmed bowl - 10" Hope that helps. We use the small plate for our "normal" meals. Large plate is handy for a holiday meal when you have problems getting a taste of EVERYTHING on the plate. RJ

Sorry I took so long to answer. Plates are about 9 inches. I purchased salad plates separately. Bowls are about 6 inches and shallow. I love the colors. However, they do seem to chip easily. They look good alone or mixed with another set of pressed antique dishes that I have.

These are really lovely little plates, but they are little. The flat inner circle is only 3 inches, but you do have 5 inches total diameter you add the scalloped edges that turn upward. I was disappointed at first, because of the size. But I kept them and they worked fine. People didn't pile a lot on them and went back for more as needed. Hope this helps you.

I gave that set to family in The Netherlands, but I think the pieces I have from my son's set is similar: mug almost 3 in. across and 3 in. high; bowl 5 in. across and 2 in. deep; plate 7 in. across.

The dishes are smaller in size-cup is about 2.5in.; plates are about 4in. diameter for dinner plate. The dish drainer is about 8x11. It's pretty sturdy. My granddaughters have it. They are 3 and 5 and they play with a lot. They aren't exactly "easy" on their toys either and it's still not broke. Received last Christmas, 2012. Hope this helps.

They probably call it a 10 inch dinner plate, but to me it's not quite a full 10--bowls are about 7 1/2 inches, and not very deep--both the plate size and bowl depth does work out for my family. Salad/dessert plates didn't come with the set--what I would call a teacup saucer came with it. I purchased the salad/dessert plates separate. Love the bright color of the plates, the one and only pitfall of these plates I noticed is that the glaze doesn't seem to sturdy. I'm very careful and one of my plates already has a chip in it--also one of my family has had some of the bowls in the microwave on too high and you can see lines on the outside of the bowl in the clear glaze. Hope this has helped you.

The plate and bowl are about the same size when flat. About 8X10 inches. When they fold, the plate has a lip of about 1/2 inch and the bowl is much deeper perhaps holding 2 cups. The cup is smaller when snapped and holds one cup comfortably. They would be vey useful for backpacking but I bought them for my grandkids to use camping. They have fun with the ways they snap.

The plates are round, but all the pieces (except the cups) have a slightly irregular shape. The bowls are in fact somewhat oval shaped rather than perfectly round. I happen to like the irregularity, while my husband calls them "misshapen".

I've had mine over six months and it's definitly the large blue swiril and each one if different. They're fairly heavy. I got the large dinner plate and the slightly smaller plate and they are very flat. We often use the 1 1/2" high bowl(I think they were called soup bowls) for items that may drip, like syrup. We also got the smaller bowl which are perfect for cereal and salad. Don't get the "salad plates" because they are huge like separate mixing bowls, as in the size of a salad for a whole family. Also, I've dropped them(due to clumsiness) and they don't break even on cement. I've had mine over six months and it's definitly the large blue swiril and each one if different. They're fairly heavy.
