Great quality
Size: 12 Packs, Style: Lunch Napkin
Napkins arrived quickly. There is a lot of them but we will use them. They are good quality, have not had any rip on us. They absorb liquids and food pretty well, cleans the hands like they should. They feel like normal napkins, soft but tough enough to wipe with. Good product that I will continue using.

Size: 10 in-140 count
Love these plates for every soy. I normally use paper plates for lunch but I started using them for non messy dinners. We have even used them for spaghetti. They handled the sauce and meaball and sausage with no problem. I would normally U.S. China plates for something like the, I got lazy one night and used these I was pleasantly shocked they worked with no leak through.

Sturdy plates
Size: 10 in-140 count
I purchased these but I normally go to Sam’s Club for bulk. I had a party and these were a hit. Very sturdy and plenty of room. I don’t really like the edges, they’re straight but that’s cosmetic preference not function.
