First off, this is the best deal I've found on these glasses. In the store, the closest I could find in price was for only a set of 4 glasses and didn't cost any less.

I've liked them a lot so far. The curve of the glass holds the smell of whatever you are drinking a bit longer so if you do want to savor that part of the drink, these are great. Be careful when pouring a whisky or other such drink because the "fumes" can catch you off guard if you aren't expecting it. My only other change would be to make them just a bit heavier.

Otherwise, they look great and feel great and the glass is a good quality. For the price, you can't go wrong.

I have used several sizes of Michelangelo glasses for some time. They are sturdy enough for every day, but dressy enough for company. They feel good in the hand and don't cost too much. What's not to like!

These glasses are very elegant, with clean lines and a thin yet strong rim. Well balanced, the glasses feel substantial in the hand while maintaining a delicate appearance. The glass itself is beautiful and clear, with the taper of the glass creating a subtly striped refractive pattern when viewed from certain angles. The base of each glass bulges out ever so slightly, as if the glass were set down while still barely molten.

These glasses fit nicely in the hand. The weighted bottom provides a nice feel, and because it is flat rather than cupped, water does not pool in it after the dishwasher has drained. All in all, these are excellent glasses.

These are elegant, clear, convenient glasses for everyday use. They have continued to look good after years of use and dishwashing. The thin edge, which I love, makes it a little easier to break. But I love them so much that I have just continued to buy more.

These glasses are great as your regular drinking glass. They look stylish, the thin edge makes it a pleasure to drink from, and the glasses have a substantial and well-balanced feel to them. This 12 ounce size is a pretty good volume for daily use. I bought the same brand and style in the smaller 9 oz size, and had to return them because I felt that they were a bit too small. These glasses are a lot sturdier and more durable than they appear, but if you load them into the dish washer too closely and too quickly, they will chip/crack. Also, if you have hard water in your home (as we do unfortunately), you may start to see water stains and scratches in about 4-5 mos. A way to avoid this is to wash by hand. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase and would buy more when the time comes to replace any broken cups.

I really like these glasses. I like the size and shape, but would like them to be a little heavier/thicker glass. Even with kids using these glasses, they don't break easily.

Amazon quickly replaced a defective glass by replacing the entire box! Very happy with way this was handled.

I would recommend these glasses to anyone.

I was so happy to find these glasses most of my original set were broken so i was happy to finally replace them. they are beautiful heavy yet elegant glasses.

I ordered these glasses to replace glasses that had broken. I wanted the same shape and weight because they feel very comfortable when I am holding them.

I love, love, love these glasses. They are simple and classic and the heavy bottom makes them hard to tip over. I would highly recommend these and everything else from the Luigi Bormioli Michelangelo line.

These glasses were exactly what I needed. I wanted to have a pitcher and glasses for guests in the office, instead of the going to the expense and waste of buying bottled water. These glasses fit the bill perfectly. They are solid, attractive, and elegant.
