CLASSIC COLLINS GLASS SET 480 ML|CLEAR HIGH BALL|TRANSPARENT| TUMBLER FOR WATER, JUICE, COCKTAIL, MOCKTAIL|6 PC GLASS SET

These glasses look great, but shatter with only minimal contact. After six months we've broken three, whereas the ones we were replacing lasted nine years and only two broke. The pictured one was knocked over from upright to its side on a table with a tablecloth. Not even a hard surface!

The diameter is smaller than I anticipated. But these glasses are great. Hold up against cold and hot liquids. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Was hier beschrieben ist, kann ich bestätigen. Aber das haben andere Gläser auch. Wir haben die Borosil 16 x 6,5 und die werden nicht nur für Wasser genutzt, sondern auch für z.B. Säfte, Softies, Kakao. Und Trinkgläser müssen bei uns kristallklar sein. Nach üblichem Spülen haben diese hier einen farbigen Ring, unten, innen am Boden. Den bekomme ich nur weg mit einem Spezialwerkzeug aus Eßstäbchen und Stahlwolle. Sehr zufrieden wäre ich, wenn die Gläser wie alle anderen innen am Boden abgerundet wären.

The glasses are durable, sleek, light. I just don't like the way they feel in my hand. I confirmed they are 16 ounces, but narrow top diameter makes me feel like I'm drinking from a tube. They are so light, I feel like I'm using plastic, even though I know it is not plastic. I ordered 3 sets of different glasses. This is the only set I am sending back. My purchase was to acquire a glass that I'm happy to use and proud to serve guests. I want a glass that feels elegant. These glasses are fine for most purposes. I considered keeping them to use on the patio, but, I'd rather just return them. They are so light and tall, they seem like they could be knocked over easily. I think the material is durable for small children. The glasses are are acceptable for most purposes. They just don't meet my particular requirements. At $38.99 for 6, these glasses are $6.49 each. I purchased Luigi Bormioli Romantica 19 oz glasses, used $15.13, set of 4. That's $3.78 each. At regular price, $19.99, the per glass price is $4.99. I purchased Marquis by Waterford Vintage Hiball glasses, set of 4 , for $23.86. Per glass price is $5.96. This glass also has the "tube" shape, but has more weight. I have ordered additional sets of each of these other glasses and other sets in different sizes. I think $6.49 is too much for this glass, if I don't like the feel and would not be proud to serve a guest in it. Well, it is going to cost $7.94 to drop them off at UPS. I'm still returning them.

I love these cups. So beautiful. I don't know whawhat else to say. I will order another size soon too.
