Summer is basically here and if you've been stuck inside all winter, you're probably itching to spend as much time outdoors as possible. So, whether you have a petite patio or sprawling backyard, why not dine al fresco whenever you get the chance?
One easy way to ensure you take your meals outside is to upgrade your outdoor dining game with melamine dinnerware.

Whether you're looking for a simple dining set for your family or need some outdoor-friendly serveware, these collections feature beautiful patterns and vibrant colors that are sure to brighten up any space.
Available in four colors, Kohl's shoppers love these plates for more than just dining al fresco: One reviewer says they're perfect for bringing on RV trips, too. These plates have a textured, ceramic-inspired design that's so on-trend, but since they're made of melamine, you won't have to worry about them breaking.
Available in white or aqua, these dinner bowls have a speckled, ceramic-inspired look that we're loving right now. And with 50+ five-star reviews, this is a dining set you can feel good about adding to your cart. One Kohl's shopper writes, "I love these bowls. They look like stoneware but they're melamine and very light. Great for eating outside by the pool and they are dishwasher safe…a win-win."
Aside from a beautiful, colorful design, Kohl's customers love this roomy bowl for its amazing versatility. Shoppers love it for serving salads, chips, and pasta dishes (Asian noodle salad, anyone?).

This dip bowl trio is a favorite among Kohl's shoppers. One writes that they're the perfect size for dips, nuts, and candy, and another says that she uses this bowl set for dips and small snacks around the pool.

These plates are the perfect size for appetizers, salads or snacks — and the vibrant, Mexican-inspired design is sure to delight anyone who dines on your patio this summer. Snag this plate set to bring instant sunshine to your dining table.
They're not melamine, but you can't go wrong with some sustainable straws. Whether you prefer to sip sweet tea or sangria by the pool, upgrade from regular plastic straws with this reusable set. These straws are made from stainless steel and come with silicone straw tips for more comfortable sipping — a cleaning brush is also included for easy care.
