I like the simple elegance of these glasses. I've had them for about 3 months now, and no breakages. The tall ones are a little thin at the top. After reading the reviews, I haven't taken any chances and only hand wash them. But definitely the short glasses fare well in the dishwasher. All in all, they were exactly what I was looking for in price and quality.

We picked these out for our wedding registry and have been disappointed. They have a nice grip, but they break very easily. Do not put them in the dishwahser unless you want to spend the next day sorting through broken glass. I would not suggest that anyone purchase these, especially if they have children.

My husband and I were outfitting our new vacation home and needed just about everything. Since our list was long, we chose items that looked good and were priced right. This glassware fit the bill - it's a nice weight, pretty design, feels comfortable to grasp, presents well, and didn't break the bank. With proper handling, it should be durable as well. Thanks Target.

These glasses arrived unbalanced, with lopsided bases and uneven rims. These would be called seconds or thirds by most standards. I don't know what happened in quality control since earlier reviews, but these should be avoided. The glasses are cheap in construction, quality, and have thin glass.

I bought this beverage set through Amazon's Gold Box. My original review was premature. After getting the glasses, I thought they were nice. But a couple years later, we have maybe two or three of the original set still standing. A couple we broke due to clumsiness, but the rest broke too easily, in the dishwasher or on minor contact. The glasses are thick at the bottom but thin enough at the top that they'll break easily. I must disqualify my original review. The review edit feature isn't letting me change the star rating, but I'd drop it to two stars if it would let me.

As soon as I saw these glasses, I knew I had to have them. I was sorry when I did not see the pitcher being with them..any how these glasses are very solid..with proper care they should last a life time. When they are place on the table..the table looks like it is for royalty. They shines very pretty..the glasses suits a family..the small ones could be use by both children and adults..it is a complete family product.
