Amazon.com Review: Zak Designs' melamine dinnerware avoids the worries of ceramic dishes for outdoor dining. Melamine is a tough, break-resistant material that not only stands up to steak knives and brick patios, but looks modern in its simplicity. The Park pattern starts with white-whether the inside of tumblers or the surface of plates-and saturates the outside with six bright colors: yellow, orange, hot pink, cobalt blue, sky blue, and green. Perfect for a salad or sandwich, the six plates in this set display one of each color to coordinate cheerfully with the matching dinner plates and bowls. All the pieces are lightweight and elegantly thin, not clunky in the least.
One of the hottest trend-setters in tableware, Zak Designs produces colorful cartoon-covered melamine ware for children as well as retro-look melamine, ceramic, and polycarbonate dinner- and drinkware for adults. While not suitable for microwave use, melamine dinnerware is safe for the top rack of a dishwasher and nests very compactly for slipping into a picnic basket or storing in a cozy RV, boat, or vacation cabin kitchen. --Ann Bieri
