Comments about RECYCLED WINDSHIELD WINE GLASSES - SET OF 2:

love that they are made of windshield glass. haven't dropped one (yet), but they seem like they could stand up to a fall. They are a little awkward to hand onto if you have small hands.

Comments about RECYCLED WINDSHIELD WINE GLASSES - SET OF 2:

Having seen these in boutiques at much higher prices, I was excited to purchase these here. They are so great for cold drinks, like lemonade, margaritas, and soft drinks. My only complaint is the sharp edges that I found on the bottom of the glass where I imagine the rod that they used to make these was attached. I think they could have been finished off more smoothly. There were also some ridges (very small) around one of the glasses.

Comments about RECYCLED WINDSHIELD WINE GLASSES - SET OF 2:

I bought these for my sister who has two children under the age of five. She was looking for wine glasses that would not shatter all over the floor if accidently dropped. She loved them! And loves knowing they are safer than normal glass.

These have a cool factor being recycled windshield glass, but they are VERY big. They are fun though, and the kids like them for milk.

These glasses are great. However,if you have smaller hands (most women) you will not be able to pick these up with one hand. These glasses are unique and i love the imperfections in the glass

Too big

Thick Glass

Too Heavy

Informal
Describe Yourself:
Frequent Entertainer, Practical, Stylish
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about RECYCLED WINDSHIELD WINE GLASSES - SET OF 2:

Too big for a woman's hand, and too heavy to hold much wine, although they certainly have the capacity. I should have returned them, but went ahead and gave them as a gift. My friend probably will use them as vases instead of as wine glasses.

Super Surprise
By FirsttimerVerified Buyer from Calgary, AB on 1/4/2010
Gift:
Yes
Pros:
Durable, Thick Glass
Best Uses:
Home, Informal
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about RECYCLED WINDSHIELD WINE GLASSES - SET OF 2:

Very unique, sturdy and a little unperfect (not exactly round). However, that is the fun part - fill with wine until the glass becomes perfectly round!

Service & Delivery comments:

This was a Christmas gift and arrived in a huge (I mean HUGE) box with lots of packing material and totally made the recipients crazy with curiousity. They were not disappointed with the contents and are looking forward to using these very unique glasses at the cottage.

Too big to hold

Gift:
Yes
Pros:
Attractive Design, Dishwasher Safe, Durable, Thick Glass
Cons:
Too big around to hold, Too Heavy
Best Uses:
Home, Informal
Describe Yourself:
Bargain Hunter, Frequent Entertainer, Practical, Stylish

Comments about RECYCLED WINDSHIELD WINE GLASSES - SET OF 2:

If I hadn't needed to give these as a Christmas gift I would have returned them. They are way too big to hold (at least for a woman's hand). They are kind of cool-looking, however, and unique. Just too big. They would hold an appropriate amount of iced tea, but Way Too Much wine!
