Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The 16 glasses in this set are welcome both around the bar and at the table. The set comprises eight 16-ounce coolers and eight 10-1/2-ounce Old Fashioned glasses. The coolers are ideal for serving tall, cool drinks like collinses, whiskey and sodas, and screwdrivers, as well as iced tea, lemonade, and water. The Old Fashioned glasses are ideal for serving liquor straight or on the rocks as well as breakfast juice. With square-patterned sides, the glasses coordinate with both contemporary and traditional dinnerware patterns. They're made of dishwasher-safe, lead-free crystal--thick and durable with exceptional clarity. Their heavy bottoms ensure stability and provide a feeling of luxury in the hand. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid, well made everyday set, September 21, 2010

We've had a set of these for several years and just recently moved so we added on with this set. These glasses are heavy, well-made and solid. If you drop them, it's unlikely the glass itself will break (though it may break what it drops on, so be careful). The styling is simple, classy and can be used in just about every situation. These are sturdy glasses, so be prepared to have them for a while.

3.0 out of 5 stars Two sets, same leaning result, February 2, 2010

My issue with these is the quality control. They lean. Like the Tower of Pisa. Apparently, I am burdened with the obsession of needing symmetry. These things annoy the heck out of me when I use one. It's not the small tumblers that are an issue. It's the tall ones that you can clearly see. I even put a speed level on it to make sure I wasn't goofy. I returned the first set we gave to ourselves for Christmas. I just don't feel like exchanging them again to find the same issue with the next set. I let my wife use them and I've gone back to the old plastic "kid proof" cups.

On a good note, they are heavy and feel very sturdy. I like the pattern as well. Amazon shipped the 2nd set without any hassle and pre-paid the return. Packaging was pretty good and none arrived DOA.

Glasses tend to have a short life span in our house so I'm always on the search for heavier than average glasses. I don't like plastic due to BPH as well as the odd flavor/taste and insist upon lead-free glass. These are exactly the perfect size, heft etc for daily use. I originally purchased four at my local grocery store and was very impressed by how durable they were. Unfortunately, they only carried one size and were more than double the price of these. There is a slight difference in weight between those sold individually versus this packed set - the packed set is just a tad lighter due to a less thick base.

Overall a good set for day to day use. Dishwasher safe, lead-free, no bph. Attractive enough that you don't feel embarrassed to use yet tough enough to withstand the rigors of a busy household.
