The plates are acceptable to me because I'm not particularly fussy, however the lamination was not entirely perfect. There where some small scratches on the front of the plate and some minute areas where the lamination hadn't been pressed down properly. If this was my company I would look to Quality control procedures and staff to ensure that the obviously good quality materials are utilised to their full potential. For most people plates are not just utilitarian but an accessory that shows of their most prized possession after their houses. So in summary the plates are very reasonably priced and very well put together but for sure some extra quality control should be looked into for absolute perfection.
