I bought this beverage set through Amazon's Gold Box. My original review was premature. After getting the glasses, I thought they were nice. But a couple years later, we have maybe two or three of the original set still standing. A couple we broke due to clumsiness, but the rest broke too easily, in the dishwasher or on minor contact. The glasses are thick at the bottom but thin enough at the top that they'll break easily. I must disqualify my original review. The review edit feature isn't letting me change the star rating, but I'd drop it to two stars if it would let me.

We picked these out for our wedding registry and have been disappointed. They have a nice grip, but they break very easily. Do not put them in the dishwahser unless you want to spend the next day sorting through broken glass. I would not suggest that anyone purchase these, especially if they have children.

These glasses arrived unbalanced, with lopsided bases and uneven rims. These would be called seconds or thirds by most standards. I don't know what happened in quality control since earlier reviews, but these should be avoided. The glasses are cheap in construction, quality, and have thin glass.

As soon as I saw these glasses, I knew I had to have them. I was sorry when I did not see the pitcher being with them..any how these glasses are very solid..with proper care they should last a life time. When they are place on the table..the table looks like it is for royalty. They shines very pretty..the glasses suits a family..the small ones could be use by both children and adults..it is a complete family product.

Got these from our wedding registry and have used them for about the past 6 months since we moved into our house. 2 of the tall ones have broken as well as one of the short ones while my husband was washing dishes. Was going to replace them with the same style, but since breaking seems to be a problem with these per other reviews, I think I'll try another style. Too bad - I love the looks of them!

These have almost the perfect weight to them. A little heavier would be better for my taste, but these are nice glasses.

My husband and I were outfitting our new vacation home and needed just about everything. Since our list was long, we chose items that looked good and were priced right. This glassware fit the bill - it's a nice weight, pretty design, feels comfortable to grasp, presents well, and didn't break the bank. With proper handling, it should be durable as well. Thanks Target.

I have been reading the reviews for these glasses and am surprised at how many say that they break. I bought my set 22 (yes, twenty two) years ago and have not broken even one. I was surprised to see this style still being sold today. The old glasses became etched in the dishwasher over time, so I want to replace them with the same style. I'm disappointed to hear of the breakage. I wonder if the quality changed over the years. I think I would like to take the chance and get a new set. I will post a new review after I've had it for a while, but the old set has been GREAT! I looked extensively online for a new style and just haven't seen anything I like as much without paying ALOT more.

I WAS A LITTLE HESITANT ABOUT ORDERING AFTER READING OTHER REVIEWS ABOUT THE GLASSES BREAKING SO EASILY. AFTER USING THEM EVERY DAY AND WASHING IN THE DISHWASHER THEY HAVE DONE GREAT. SO FAR NO CRACKS OR BREAKAGE. LOOK GREAT.

These are a bit too fragile for those who rush around in the kitchen or have teens. I bought these for my son to set up his first kitchen. He says the bottom of the glass is not smoothly flat so doesn't set well. He has broken a few.
