ikea dishes?

Supafly · Guru

I don't have experience with their dishes, but heck, at those prices, it is worth a try!!! Honestly,I am sick of the plastic kiddie stuff too-but we don't have enough "adult" flatware and dishes for everyone to use between dishwasher runnings. I might go this route too!!!

The dishes look very similar to what we have, which we got for our wedding at crate & barrel and were likely 4x the price.

I say go for it!!! Do you have an IKEA near you? (ours is like 40 minutes or so-so I hardly ever go there)

I bought some VERY cheap IKEA bowls and they've held up great. I say go for it!!

Go for it. I shop at IKEA quite often and I actually plan on getting those soon I just threw out all the plasticwares, plates, bowls that the kids had. So they are using our plates for now but I 'd like to get their plates. Theyre so cheap that I wouldn't care if they broke.

My other thought is that 6 would not be enough around here. We go through 9 a day, so I'd probably go with a dozen, but I have three kids.

thanks everyone!

stacey, the kids eat breakfast and lunch at school m-f, so they only need dinner dishes during the week.

i got 6 of each for now and if i think we need more, i'll go back. i ikea.

can't beat $10 for 12 dishes!

btw, i skipped the flatware. i wasn't impressed.

What was wrong with the flatware? Just curious. I am interested in hearing your feedback on it!

the size options were good, but they were just a little too flimsy for my taste. like, it seemed like i could just bend them in half, kwim?

Hmmm...yeah, that is not good. I think maybe I will look at Tuesday Morning sometime for flatware. They usually have good prices. But I would like to find some that isn't HUGE, kwim? I refuse to spend the money on those kiddie ones, like in the One Step Ahead catalogs? Those things are like $20 for one place setting!!

Thank you for the input-I will not look into the flatware from them.
