Quatish 24 Piece Plates and Bowl Set for 6, Unbreakable, Dishwasher Microwave Safe, Black
Is the Quatish black dinnerware set a durable, practical choice for everyday meals and a household that needs place settings for six?
If you want a matching dinnerware set for six without worrying over every dropped plate, the Quatish is the practical pick: lightweight black plastic, with dinner plates, salad plates, bowls and cups for everyone. It is dishwasher- and microwave-safe, with a short microwave-use limit worth working into your routine. Choose it for easy handling and less breakage anxiety, not the heft or refined feel of china. The key question is whether that everyday convenience matters more to you than a ceramic table setting.
From the Amazon listing

Is plastic the right choice for everyday dishes?
For a first apartment, a home with children, or meals outside at a campsite or beach house, I would choose plastic over fragile dishes if avoiding breakage is the priority. Quatish describes the set as nearly unbreakable and resistant to chipping, scratches and wear, but plastic still gets scuffed with regular use. Use soft sponges rather than abrasive scrubbers, and keep metal utensils from scraping across the plates.
Does it cover a household that needs six place settings?
Yes: the 24 pieces include six dinner plates, six salad plates, six bowls and six cups. That gives each person a coordinated setting and leaves you ready for occasional guests without mixing in spare dishes. If you usually serve only one to four people and want a more formal look, one of the smaller bone china sets below is a better match.
Can you use it in the dishwasher and microwave?
Yes, both are part of the set’s everyday convenience. The microwave limit is the catch: keep each heating session to three minutes or less, and use a microwave-safe dish for longer reheating. For routine cleanup, a regular dishwasher cycle is simpler than treating these like delicate china.
Will black plates show scratches or food marks?
Dark dishes can make pale utensil scuffs stand out, while some food stains are less conspicuous than they would be on white dishes. Plastic can show wear over time, so gentle washing and avoiding scraping are worthwhile habits. If visible scuffs would bother you more than breakage, choose a lighter-colored bone china set; choose Quatish when avoiding breakage matters more.
How they compare
A lightweight black 24-piece set for six, with cups included and everyday dishwasher convenience.
Purple floral fine china with gold-trimmed edges for a more decorative table setting.
White embossed bone china for four, with both dinner bowls and cereal bowls.
Who it suits
This set is for someone furnishing a first home, feeding kids, or wanting enough matching everyday dishes for six without the worry that comes with ceramic. I would pick it when lightweight handling, easy cleanup and breakage resistance matter more than a traditional china feel.
What you give up
- Plastic does not have the heft or refined table presence of bone china, and it can pick up visible scuffs with use.
- The microwave limit means it is convenient for short reheats, not a set-and-forget choice for longer heating.

Questions buyers ask
What comes in this dinnerware set for six?
It includes six dinner plates, six salad plates, six bowls and six cups. That is a complete set of four pieces per person, with cups included.
Can I microwave the plates and bowls?
Yes, but do not microwave them for more than three minutes at a time. For longer reheating, transfer the food to another microwave-safe dish.
Is this dishwasher-safe dinnerware suitable for daily use?
Yes, the set is dishwasher-safe, which makes routine cleanup straightforward. Use non-abrasive cleaning tools to help limit scuffs on the plastic.
Are these dishes melamine?
Treat them as plastic dinnerware and follow the three-minute microwave limit rather than assuming the care rules for a different plastic dish.
Should I choose plastic or ceramic dinnerware for a family?
Choose plastic when lighter handling and avoiding breakage are the main concerns, especially around children or outdoors. Ceramic or bone china makes more sense when you want a more traditional table feel and are comfortable handling dishes that can chip or break.
