How would this handle holding thicker stoneware dishes like Pfaltzgraff stoneware or dishes with curvy sides like the Homer Laughlin Fiestaware?

This dish rack is not only beautiful, but strong and sturdy as well. It's one of the best kitchen investments I've made. And the matching utensil holder (sold separately) is terrific. Much sturdier and roomier than the flimsy bamboo rack it replaced. I highly recommend this rack! It will be a great addition to your kitchen.

I'm not sure. It is well built and strong...not to mention great looking. I love mine.

Am actually using this for my punch bowl, but I would think that square plates would fit very well.

This is made for the oblong slimline five dishes-don't know if it would work with the older round dishes or not.

I think your square plates will enter the space to hold mugs and glasses. I don't think you'd be able to hold mugs and plates simultaneously. I'm not sure if it holds 5.5 inch mugs

Yes, they will fit perfectly. My dishes have about a one inch rounded edge and there is no problem.

Dear Marie, I see no reason why this would not hold a Kitchnaid Mixer. This a very sturdy and reliable piece of kitchenware. I don't think you will be disappointed~

My experience is that 11" is ok but the thickness of a stoneware plate can cause it to lean forward & be somewhat unstable. This rack is more sturdy which is good but just be aware of that possible issue. Good luck!

I have the Vanilla Rice set, and I think they are just right. Lighter than stoneware, but feel substantial in the hand. They are not fragile dishes. I have pretty serious Arthritis in my neck, shoulders, and hands, and I have no trouble with them.

Heavy and light are pretty relative terms. The dishes are stoneware -- not fine china. Each individual plate is not particularly heavy, but a stack of 8 requires two hands. They are NOT as heavy as, say, Yorktown. These dishes are about the thickness of melamine plates and a little thicker than Corelle but not as thick as Fiesta ware.

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.

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!

Yes, The smaller salad plate holder may work. But my dinner plats are 12" and still had plenty of room. So I also placed bubble wrap around the side of the container and on the top and bottom for extra cushion. I only use my china a few times of year. So this is perfect! I will tell you this set is very nice. Way better then what I saw in person in major stores!

I actually use this caddy for sturdy (Chinet), normal sized paper/plastic plates, when entertaining buffet style. You would probably want something bigger to accommodate your larger Lenox plates.

We did not create this listing and product information originally, but I would assume that chargers are referring to the disc/plates that are put beneath dinnerware as a decorative element. It is referring to how it will hold items even larger than typical round dishware.

I used the bag once and didn't like it either. Maybe AB was wrong this once? Anyway, I went to a dishware store and bought two 6 inch stoneware plate and they work very well. One will hold most things but two will hold even floaty cukes. Be sure to cover the plates with liquid and you can spoon off the top if necessary. I actually loosely cover mine while fermenting with a large plastic bowl. Every batch has been good. Best of luck

They are not big, bulky stoneware...probably medium weight. We purchased them for a rental property and they hold up very well. My only complaint is they eventually get black scratches on the plates from forks and knives.

It is comparable to Corelle -- perhaps a bit thinner at the edges, but thicker in the middle. Much much more classy than Correlle. Wife was skeptical when I said I ordered new dishware to replace our Corelle, but she likes this set a lot.
