Stansport 24-Piece Enamel Camping Tableware Set

This set is great for picnics. I think the price is fantastic for what you are getting. One of the most important aspects of this set is that they are very lightweight and stackable. I am able to fit them into a wooden picnic basket that does not have a super strong bottom. If the dishes were too heavy, they would fall through the woven wood. It would be very inconvenient to have heavy dishes if you were out camping or hiking. These were definitely made for the outdoors.The silverware, however, is a bit heavy. For longer trips if you are hiking, you might want to consider bringing some plastic utensils instead that you can reuse instead of the silver that is included with this kit. For shorter trips or picnics in the park, the enamelware silverware will do just fine.The set includes enough dishes for four people to enjoy a meal and beverage. Note that you will need some other bowls and containers to carry the food to portion out to these enamelware dishes. The mugs are a little small — I do wish that they would hold a bit more liquid. It feels like just a few gulps of tea and the cup is empty.Quality-wise the enamelware is perfect for the outdoors. I don’t think you could break them or chip them unless you intentionally picked them up and hurled them at a tree. It might be possible to put dents in them, but they stack nicely for travel and that shouldn’t be an issue.Regarding color: you have a choice of blue or red. The enamel is speckled with white flakes. Since I have a blue plaid picnic cloth, I decided to go with blue. Note that color has a psychological effect on our perception of hunger and appetite. Blue suppresses the appetite, as it is a color that is rarely found in nature. When it is found nature it typically indicates a poisonous substance. So naturally, as humans, we have a propensity to avoid most blue foods (although blueberries are somehow okay). So, the blue may suppress your appetite. This can be a good thing if you are trying to eat less, but if you really want to enjoy your food more the red set might be better. Note that all fast food restaurants have logos that are red and orange. These are the most appetizing colors.The color may not matter that much though, it depends on your personal aesthetic and how you feel the color affects you. I really do love the blue enamelware, but sometimes I wish I had gotten the red.Bottom line: Great outdoor dining set! Looks great, is lightweight, and durable.

I chose the classic blue and am pleased with the color.The plates are generously sized with a deep enough well to protect from spills.The bowls are also generous and deep.The mugs are adequate in size.The flatware includes 3 piece sets of serrated table knife, dinner fork and soup spoon.If you are buying this for a young family the mugs might be too heavy and awkward for little hands, and the flatware too large.You'll maybe want to bring some teaspoons for picnics and camping.The good news is that enamelware is very sturdy. This set may be just as serviceable as it is today when those who are now toddlers are teens and when they're grown and have toddlers of their own.

Everything is nice, utensils are very cheaply made. The rest is nice. Glad I got them.

Now when I go camping I’m not the type that eats 2 or 3 times a day. So while I’ve used this set every time I’ve gone out- it hasn’t been used and abused like some may use it. I haven’t had any chipping or rust and they store good in my Coleman pack and go container. The silverware is cheap silverware at best but hey for camping it works great! No problems with cleaning so far and I love the blue color.

UPDATE (7/3/2021): Our family still uses these on a daily basis after 5.5 years. We’ve lost a plate after the outer ring broke off, but the plates and bowls are still doing well otherwise. These are still washed in the dishwasher every day and have withstood countless drops, scrapes, and scratches.Original Review (7/2016): We purchased this set seven months ago from Amazon. We found some of the coating on one of the cups was chipping when we received it, so we called Stansport's customer service. They were incredibly accomodating and sent us a whole set free of charge, so we have two full sets minus the one damaged cup. We are a family of six with four of us being under the age of five, and our family uses the plates and bowls daily (twice a day most days) and the cups are used most days as well. We feel more comfortable eating on these as opposed to plastic, and they don't break when dropped on the floor. They are washed in the dishwasher daily and have held up perfectly. I can't really speak on the silverware as we don't use them. They seem cheaply made, but I'm sure they would be fine to use daily as well. They don't really match the quality of the plates, bowls, and cups.They are perfect for our kids! We couldn't be happier with our purchase and are confident with purchasing from Stansport in the future.

This set is everything! Lovely silver trim give it an elegant touch. Very light weight and easy to clean. Great value for the money.

Makes our trips easier. Smooth to clean, all pieces included that are actually needed for a meal, doesn't take up too much room. Good product. Hell, use these at home instead of paper plates for a cheap option. Clean easier than typical dining ware and won't break if dropped.

Great value for a quality product. I got these for camping, but I ended up using them around the house. It's nice to have something with the same feel as glazed ceramic, but much lighter and you don't have to worry about dropping them and breaking them. They will conduct heat much better than ceramic, because they're metal, but I actually like that for my tea mug - it cools down faster so I can drink it.
