Tiger Chef 13-in Round Charger Plates Black Beaded - Elegant Table

Our review of the Tiger Chef 13-in Round Charger Plates finds them best suited to hosts who want an upscale look without the expense or fragility of fine china. These melamine charger plates deliver an immediate visual upgrade thanks to metallic lacquer and a beaded trim, and the 13 in diameter makes them useful for protecting tablecloths while holding salad plates, soup bowls and dinner plates. For catered events, weddings or seasonal family meals they offer commercial quality looks and straightforward care, though they are not microwave or dishwasher safe.

Key Features

• Metallic lacquer finish: Gives each charger a reflective, elegant surface that lifts a place setting without the weight of metal or ceramic.
• Beaded edge trim: Adds a decorative border that frames plates and flatware for a more polished presentation at weddings or formal dinners.
• 13 in diameter: Provides ample coverage under salad plates and soup bowls to prevent spills and protect table linens.
• Durable melamine construction: Built for repeated use in banquet, restaurant or home settings where a commercial look is desired.
• Easy hot rinse care: Cleans with hot water quickly, making turnover between courses or events straightforward.
• Pack quantity: Supplied in sets that accommodate full place settings for larger gatherings without mixing styles.

Who It's For

This product is ideal for event planners, caterers and hosts who need a consistent, elegant table aesthetic at weddings, banquets or holiday dinners. The chargers suit people who want the look of metal chargers but prefer a lightweight, shatter-resistant option for frequent use or transport.

People who require dishwasher or microwave-safe dinnerware should look elsewhere, and those wanting genuine metal or heirloom ceramic chargers for long-term tabletop collections may prefer a more traditional material despite the higher cost and fragility.
