breaks easily
I purchased this set and have been using it for less than a month. Out of 12 tumblers 6 have broken. These were not dropped..they break during normal washing (hand washing - no dishwasher). Unless you are particularly fond of picking up broken glass or really really enjoy getting deep cuts on your hand(s) stitched, I wouldn't buy these!
Surprising little things to be displeased about.
Time owned: 1 month
Summary: fair quality with some annoyances.
Should you buy: probably not.
I've got to warn you, I'm going to be a bit critical here. I can see a lot of people love these glasses but for me they weren't so great.
Typically we buy our glasses at Ikea. The quality is good and the price is nice.
However, with gas prices being what they are, and Ikea not being very close, we decided to try these glasses. Given the fact that there is no shipping charge (I'm with prime) and no taxes, we felt the price was reasonable.
The good:
1) They work as intended.
2) They feel durable without feeling "heavy".
Good product, great price
We had been looking for a clean, simple design and found it in this glass. Good quality, great price.
Poor Quality
I sent these back because they were so poor quality. They looked as if approximately 1/3 of them were seconds. Many of the rims had noticeable imperfections, I guess where they poured the glass. One of the glasses was also cracked. Fortunately Amazon was good as always and took them back.
I hate the packaging!
Be forewarned. These are NOT retail glasses. These are bulk-packed in a box and LABELED for individual resale. What that means is that they come with stickers/UPC labels on each individual glass. The stickers are impossible to remove. I have returned other kitchen products because of this. I have only used 5 so far because it takes 5-7 minutes with a razor blade, tape, and acetone to clean off the stickers (which are cheap paper and use a permanent adhesive). Otherwise, these are unimpressive, basic glasses that all have a weird glass drip at the lip from manufacturing. If these were retail packaging and didn't have the stickers, I would have given them 4 stars for just basic, cheap glassware. Unless your time is worth nothing or you ... Read More
