We’ve waxed poetic about melamine plates before—the hard-to-break, dishwasher-safe material makes them practically fool-proof when it comes to alfresco dinners or poolside snacks. New styles hit the market all the time, so we went sleuthing for this year’s latest and greatest across different price points. Studio McGee’s summer line at Target includes a chic option for a mere $4, Anthropologie’s Farm Rio collab offers a tropical take, and Pottery Barn even introduced a melamine version of its popular Puebla dinnerware. If you’re in the market for a fresh set, shop the latest collections we’re feeling as warm weather arrives.
Anthropologie x Farm Rio Melamine Dinner Plates
Anthropologie’s collaboration with Brazilian fashion brand Farm Rio is the textbook definition of dopamine decor. The colorful melamine dinnerware makes eating outside that much more enjoyable—and why not bring a set of waterproof playing cards along for post-meal games?
Pottery Barn Melamine Puebla Dinnerware
The melamine version of this Pottery Barn favorite comes in blue, pink, and yellow. A full 12-piece set goes for $158.
Crate & Barrel Seaside Melamine Dinner Plates
This line from Crate & Barrel is inspired by the Great Barrier Reef—the dinner plates are adorned with painterly, wave-adjacent stripes and salad plates carry sweet illustrations of underwater residents like lobsters, fish, and crabs.
McGee & Co. Americana Melamine Dinner Plates
A nice twist on the traditional red, white, and blue scheme: McGee & Co.’s floral motifs, accentuated by a paper plate–esque crinkle.
Quince Outdoor Melamine Dinnerware Set
This Quince set’s matte finish and imperfect edges read ceramic, and it comes in heron blue and cream as well as this soothing green.
Threshold x Studio McGee Melamine Braided Edge Dinner Plate
At just $4 per plate, this country-chic collection from Target’s Studio McGee line is serious steal. Pick up a set of rattan seashell placemats to go with them.
The Ark Elements Quilted Melamine Dinner Plates
These patchwork melamine plates are an ode to the American Midwest and the various quilted patterns seen across the region.
West Elm Sardine Melamine Outdoor Dinner Plates
A sunny and sweet pattern that extends across soft goods, too—and just take a look at these little salt and pepper shakers.
