I bought these glasses as a Christmas gift, and my friends absolutely loved them! These glasses are very handsome, beautiful and fun. I am buying another set because my friends accidentally broke one and have been so bummed out about it.

My husband and I have had a set of mikasa cheers double old-fashioned glasses for the last five years. We received them as a wedding gift. We love them, my husband uses them for everything. After five years of very regular use, being put in the dishwasher, and even dropped a few times, one of them broke. It was my husband's favorite of the bunch, so I decided to order another set. These are not the same glasses. They may look the same in the picture, but the difference in quality is astounding. The old glasses have thick, heavy bases and a substantial feel to them. The replacements I ordered from amazon are just cheap - the glass is lighter at the bottom and very thin at the top, and the etching quality is nowhere near the same. I was going to write and complain already, but then tonight, on the first use of one of the glasses, my husband put ice in it and it broke just from that. As I pulled a second one out of the dishwasher to put it away, it was already broken. So two of the four glasses have not even made it through one single use. Unacceptable. I'm requesting my money back.

These are pretty to look at, but also very sturdy. The base is weighty enough to keep the glass very stable. They aren't fancy crystal, but really great for everyday use. The variety of patterns makes YOUR glass a lot easier to identify in a crowd, too!

Just the right size.
High Quality.
Fantastic Unique etching.
These are a fun set of glasses.

Mikasa glasses are well designed and very pleasant to use. A very nice addition to sets we use regularly.

I am thinking about picking up more of these glasses - I love them - love the design! They are absolutely beautiful.

Beware of these thin-walled glasses! Wow, so we ordered these glasses because they were so cute and Mikasa should have great quality right?! Wrong, well, they are very cute, but are the worst glasses we have ever owned. They are so paper thin at the tops that they chip and crack with the slightest touch. You have to hand wash them, but beware of this too because they easily chip and break while doing so! I cannot honestly believe that Mikasa made such a horrible product, they should be embarrassed and recall them all! DO NOT buy these glasses, you will be wasting a ton of money and will just be throwing them away soon after from chipping anyway. Mikasa.com says that they guarantee their glasses for life, by the way, BUT, you must buy them directly from them (I wish I would have done my research on these before buying).

Fragile and inadquate packing to protect. I like the glasses and the pattern but they are fragile. So fragile that they cannot be shipped to me unbroken. My original order received with a broken glass, Amazon sent a replacement very quickly, again received with a broken glass. Amazingly it was the same pattern that broke again in shipping. So I was unhappy because I wanted that pattern to complete the set. Again I contacted Amazon and they would not send a second replacement and my only option was to get a refund and then go back and reorder online. But guess what? The price has increased $5 in the three weeks, phooey. Guess I will not have that pattern in my set of glasses. I have that pattern in other sets but have to do without in double old fashioned glasses.

This is the first time I have been dissatisfied with my dealings with Amazon and I have purchased quite a bit. Not my fault, not their fault but they decided not to try a third time, so I'm dissatisfied.

These glasses are beautiful but not for every day use. They are too fragile. They are the type of glasses you need to wash carefully by hand rather than in a dishwasher. My wife received a set of 4 last week and 2 of them are already broken with gentle use. Not something I would recommend purchasing.

I've owned a set of these glasses for a year and they see almost constant use. They're my favorite glasses for serving up mixed drinks. I have experienced NONE of the problems other reviewers have described; each of my four glasses is as nice as the day I bought them. It's quite possible that those reporting that they've cracked just don't know how to properly care for quality glassware. I don't mean to suggest these are fragile. To the contrary, they are very solidly made with thick, high quality glass. The etchings are perfect, classy, and stylish. Don't be scared off by the negative reviews. These are very nice glasses, and they've stood up to over a year's worth of wear-and-tear just fine.
