Outdoor Melamine Dinnerware for Summer that looks like fine china

Outdoor Melamine dinnerware for summer has arrived in the stores.  And it looks like fine bone china. Some of the new sets are really quite awesome. And some major design houses – like Dansk, Rynkel and Kate Spade – have put their names on melamine dinnerware this year. Outdoor dining has come a long way.

Melamine dinnerware for summer

Most of the 34 melamine collections we have chosen to showcase come with links to purchase these pieces online. Never worry about breakage during shipping and don’t worry out on the patio either. That’s the beauty of melamine. Sea creatures are the big theme this year, especially the octopus. And you really will think it’s china.
