We had on two separate occasions these glasses explode into tiny shards of glass upon lifting the glass. The first time was when lifting out of the dishwasher upon which the glass exploded into hudrededs of little pieces and actually cut my nose as shards of glass went everywhere. We thought this was perhaps a freak accident. However, it happened again today. I washed it with luke warm water and set it on the counter. I reached for it about a minute later and upon lifting the glass, it exploded and shattered throughout the kitchen. We plan to contact the manufacturer to let them know of these occurences. Please be careful with these glasses!

I just had two of the tempered Bormillo Glasses EXPLODE in my face. RECALL THIS PRODUCT!

I bought this set of 6 Bormioli Rocco glasses around a month ago and was satisfied with my purchase up until today afternoon. Today, while busy in another room, I heard an explosion sound from the kitchen. Following the sound and to my utter surprise, I found one of these glasses shattered to many pieces in the kitchen sink, with pieces scattered to every corner of the kitchen. I was alone at home and had not touched the glass for 3 hours and absolutely nothing was going on around there.

I called Amazon customer service, letting them know of the event and that I was going to toss the rest of the set as well, and they agreed to give me an Amazon promotional certificate for the whole set price. But I felt obliged to come here and share this with you, because had this happened under other circumstances, the consequences could have been grave. I have slept with one of these glasses filled with water on my bedside for several nights. Imagine this had happened one of those nights--frightening.

Apparently, the problem is due to production flaws during glass annealing, I am no expert of which!

Please please please avoid these glasses.

These glasses are easy to hold. They are stackable, so they save space in the cupboard. The design is pleasant and traditional. They seem very sturdy and useful.

They do stack and are attractive. Seem smaller than you would expect, but they do hold the amounts they describe. None of mine were broken on arrival, but I was surprised as the "packing" was minimal. I like them and am glad I bought them. I have not broken one so I can't comment on them being tempered (thankfully) yet.

It seems almost silly to be reviewing drinking glasses, but since I used the reviews to make my own decision, I thought it only fair to contribute.

I purchased a set of 6 each of the 16 oz, 12.5 oz and 6 oz (juice) versions of these glasses. They are sturdy, good looking glasses and I really like the fact that they are stackable and I can literally fit them in 1/2 the cupboard space as a result. I don't feel hesitant to stack them as I have more fragile glasses in the past.

I would suggest the product without reservation.

The Bormioli Rocco Rock Bar collection is a boon for my kitchen, family and guests. I can store enough in my small cupboards to allow me to rinse and wait till the dishwasher is full to run, and still have enough for the next family meal or snack. For company I prefer not to use disposable products and this collection allows for enough glassware to be available for a crowd of guests! Thank you Bormioli and Amazon.

The 16.25 oz. glasses are perfect for the "big guys" with big hands. (I've sometimes wondered, watching guys reach for a glass of soda, if they feel they are living in a miniature world. Not with these glasses!) They are also perfect for smoothies, ice cream sodas, special sundaes.

The 12.5 oz. is perfect for that all purpose beverage with ice - water, soda. iced tea (yes, I know there are special glasses for that), or a big helping of juice.

The 9 oz. is the all-purpose glass for me. Not too much, not too little. I find I use this one most often. It is especially useful when you want to allow people to fill their glass, and ask for more; as opposed to fill a glass and not finish.

The 6.75 oz. juice glass is a standard in my household. Every youngster can get a good grip on this glass and enjoy a beverage.

The 2.5 oz. shot glass is, I thought, of little use to me, but I recently picked up a set on sale at a local store. Why? They are too cute. I recently used one for a granddaughter who wanted a drink of water at bedtime. It worked. I'll come up with some other uses --- how about filling with dip for small snack before bedtime?

Then there's the 13.25 oz. double old-fashioned glass. Have not purchased these yet. They feel like a shorter version of the 16.25 oz. glass; a good feel for those with bigger hands or perfect for a short cocktail. Envision it to be perfect for a Manhattan-on-the-rocks.

Bottom line is, for me, this line of glasses is so good that I spent all this time to talk about it.

I am not able to review the product itself, since it came as glass shards in a box. Beware. I ordered 4 sets of glasses and they were crushed. The glasses come 6 to a box with cardbord dividers in the box, amazon labeled them "ready to ship". So the packing person just loaded the 4 boxes into the shipping box and didn't pad it with the exception of a few air cushions on the top. Nothing on the sides or bottom and the smaller boxes were left to shift inside the shipping box.

Love these glasses! They are good looking, sturdy, and fit the hand well. I bought 4 sizes and am happy with every one. That they are stackable is a bonus. Highly recommend.

We needed glasses that actually matched, that did not take up too much space, and that are nice to hold. These fit the bill. They are inexpensive so that if one should break, no big deal. They really feel good to hold and they come in many sizes for every use.

We love them.
