Customer Review: Uninspired design, but sturdy
If you are rough with your glassware, these are great. I can't count how many thin glass wine glasses I have broken.
These should withstand many machine washings, and might even survive a fall if it's not on a hard surface like stone.
I knocked off points for the design though, since it's average at best, but priced accordingly of course.
Was a little disappointed to find these being sold at Target after I had ordered them.
They work fine for every day use, but they aren't going to wow anyone at a dinner party. Three stars.
