I am very happy that I ordered the sample because it really helped me decide what to buy. The sugarcane plates are not as thick as I thought they would be, so am planning to only use the small ones for finger foods in the beginning and cake at the end. The palm is nice in that you can see that it is a shaped palm leaf, but it has a lot of ridges which ruled it out for me. The bamboo is very nice aesthetically and is a sturdy plate so I decided to use those for dinner rather than the sugarcane. I also suggest getting several different fork and knife samples as the differences are subtle but important. One fork is more like a spork which I could not see in the online picture.
My only concern was the sugarcane plate arrived damaged on one corner and the only reason I didn't give five stars.
I would highly recommend purchasing the sample for decision making for your event.
