I ordered these glasses to have extra for a party. Fun shape drew compliments. I now shuffled them in to use as my everyday glasses (all matching!), but I do have concerns with cleaning the larger glass. With no dishwasher, I handwash everything and I find it hard to reach down into the recesses at the base of the tall curved glass. The smaller one is fine--my hand reaches.

When I bought these, it was more or less impulse justified by good reviews. The glasses definitely draw attention, and I've never had one break (despite me being quite clumsy with them). However, they're very impractical. I curse at them whenever I have to wash them. They don't fit into anything well: cupholders, dishwashers, shelves, anything. Although their design is unusual and aesthetically appealing, I've never really liked them when drinking from them. I much prefer drinking from my Mom's set of Mexican glasses or even plain glass jars. These might be fun if you have other 'regular' glasses, but I really wouldn't recommend them if they're going to be your only set.

Sturdy design and a nifty looking shape. It was a really good deal for such a low price.

Hi... I purchased a set of these glasses, and they arrived quickly, but broken. After using amazon.com's return procedure, the vendor notified me that they would send me another set, no charge. I got the second set, all intact, just as fast. I got exactly what I wanted, and I'm glad to give the vendor a really good review. Thanks!

At first we loved these glasses; however, now it's been nine months with them, we have had 6-yes 6-break under their own weight. The first time, we thought it couldn't have just collapsed (it was on a drying rack upside down) and something must have hit it (though there was nothing else around it), then a few weeks later another collapsed the same way right side up right in front of me. Not thinking that the entire box would be this way; we kept the glasses. However, now after today the 6th and final glass (this was the first short one to break as the first 5 were the tall glasses) we have thrown them all away. We always hand wash/air dry our dishes so it is not possible for them to have been weakened by a dish washer.

Yes, these glasses have a very cool design, but the quality is not very good. Most of them have a distinct line from top to bottom and some of the lips aren't even. I tried contacting Libbey by email and phone to see if they could help, but no one was home. So back to Amazon they go.

I love my new glasses. The unique shape of the glasses is always a question that gets brought up when company is over. Everyone loves them. The first shipment I received was shattered to peices, but with a few clicks to the customer service department, a new package was sent out in no time.

The glasses all have very distinct, unsightly seams on opposite sides, where two halves were apparently joined in the manufacturing process. The thickness of the base varies from one side of the glass to the other, and on some glasses is very thin.

The assymetrical profile of the glasses, which is striking and clever in the photos, is not so great after all, as the interesting shape gradually disappears as you rotate the glass 90 degrees. At that point you just see a slightly odd glass with ugly seams.

There are so many interesting examples of glassware out there these days, I would not bother with this cheaply executed concept from Libby.

We were married in August of 2009 and these have been by far my favorite wedding gift.

I put them on our registry because they look so cool, but the angle of the glasses actually makes a real difference when you drink. They pour the water towards your mouth, making you need less of an angle to tilt the glass as your drink gets to the bottom.

I do take a little bit of extra care when washing them, simply because I don't want to take the chance of breaking them. I use a dishwasher, but make sure that they are wedged in well and that nothing that isn't plastic will touch them even if they shift a bit.
We use them on a daily basis and have had no problems.

These are cool looking glasses and with decent strength (none has broken so far). But the quality of these are average. The reason I say that is at the curves, you can see and feel a glass joint line. It varies from piece to piece and is very prominent in few. Overall they are okay glasses for everyday. I was expecting more based on other reviews but you get what you paid for.
