This was a gift. The plates have not been used. There are 4 plates. Items that have been used, such as spoons and forks, are not included. Everything currently available is unused. Therefore, the quantities don't match, but I am only selling the unused items. There are a total of 12 items. They are for camping or picnics, and the spoons, etc., are sturdy. The plates are plastic, but they are thick and sturdy. They don't bend or flex.
