My wife and I ordered two sets, as we wanted service for twelve. Both sets arrived intact (no broken glasses or pitchers), the quality and heft of the glasses and pitchers is just right and the glass is clear and free from defects.

The only reason that we didn't give this set five stars is that the design of the pitchers lends itself to cracking down a seam that runs across the front of the pitcher.

We broke one pitcher the first time we used the set when it bumped against another dish in the sink. We have used the second pitcher several times since and are careful to keep it away from other dishes or pans.

The glasses to this set are very handsome and substantial in hand. But the pitcher is a bit wobbly until it is about half full with your beverage choice. I have purchased a similarly shaped pitcher from another name brand (which escapes my memory at present) that is very stable. The price is right however, and the pitcher seems stable when filled. It is a very serviceable piece of tableware.

I am basically happy with this set, but it has one drawback. One of the reasons I ordered it was for the 16 ounce glasses. It's hard to find goblets this size. My husband poured a 12 ounce can of coke in one and it's basically full. He could barely fit any ice in it. But it's still a very attractive iced-tea set for a very low price.

The photo is somewhat miss leading.. Which was perfect for me! The sets look's as if it has a grey tint.. Nope, this is not the case. To my surprise the set is Crystal Clear. I purchased it as a wedding gift for someone who loves Ice Tea glasses. Great Buy!!

I love this iced tea set. The pitcher is just the right size for a family size brew of tea. This set is great for family or company. It has a classy yet simplistic look about it. I also love that it comes with six glasses. With this set, it's summer all year round!

Nice and elegant, good size glasses also, able to pour a 12 ounce can into one. Seems a bit delicate, hope you don't have young kids at home. I did buy a set for myself and a set as a gift for a friend though.

The pitcher started showing cracks by the handle after adding ice to hot liquid.

Although it is a very attractive design and price, I have never had glassware so prone to breaking. Within two months, four of the glasses had shattered...while being hand-washed...not touching anything but the sink and a washcloth. Another thing that bothered me about these glasses is the very bottom of the inside of the glass. If you let used glasses set out instead of washing them immediately, the liquid will dry at the bottom of the glass and is very difficult to reach with a sponge or washcloth. The pitcher has been great. I haven't had any problems with it at all. The glasses are such a waste, though. They've convinced me to steer clear of Libbey glassware in the future.

This set is very nice and the price is even better. I bought one for a gift and ended up buying one for myself. Great gift to give for a great price.

When I purchased this set I just loved it. The pitcher is really pretty and the glasses are nice. However, I am down to three glasses. They crack easily and don't hold up to the dishwasher (heat from drying). I was really disappointed.

I got this set as a gift for my housewarming. The picture is misleading - the pitcher and glasses are completely clear with no smoky tint. They are fairly sturdy and have gone in the dishwasher several times now with no problems. I reserve them for special occasions but I imagine they could be used as your normal glassware if you wanted to.

I agree with some of the other reviews that the tiny pool at the bottom of the glasses is annoying but I just pre-soak them a little if we had wine or anything like that before I put them in the dishwasher and they come out fine. Overall a nice set and I was glad to receive it as a gift.
