Fortessa Basics Arcade Everyday 12 Pack Set Glassware Kitchen and Barware Great for: Beer, Cocktails, Water, Juice, Iced Tea, Soft Drinks., Pint/Mixing Glass, 16 Ounce

The media could not be loaded.  I received a case of these glasses, and quickly returned them before using them. Not only were a few of them broken, but they were also badly flawed.I actually don't blame the breakage on poor packaging, rather I believe it to be careless handling after leaving Amazon. Anyway, these glasses are made in Mexico. The reason I mention that is I absolutely love Mexican glassware that has all of the wonderful flaws that show it is handmade. You're probably familiar with the type, often with a blue rim at the top or a confetti of recycled glass. Both are gorgeous.That being said, I don't think the flaws in these glasses is intentional or because of being handcrafted. Most of them at the top have the same sort of crinkling that some clear plastic or acrylic glasses get after being in the dishwasher. I tried to take a photo. Although the second box arrived without one single glass broken, some, not all, of the glasses had the same flaws.A big plus for me was the fact that they were stackable. In my opinion, I don't think I would stack more than three, and you have to be careful because sometimes they get stuck to each other. A dip in cool water and they release right away as the glass contracts.I will also say that I'm a big fan of this company, when it became chic to use white restaurant wear that was upscale and had interesting shapes, Fortessa was on the forefront. I have many of those beautiful and well made pieces.This might be just a fluke of the pattern, since I still believe that the company puts out high quality dishware and glassware that is sturdy enough to withstand a restaurant use.

These are nice, hefty glasses. I did expect the grooves to be on the outside of the glass but they happen to be on the inside. I'm not sure that matters as we just use them for drinks and not things like smoothies. They have some good weight to them. They clean up in the dishwasher nicely.

These broke so easily. I was expecting a far more durable product.

Loved how thick and durable these cups are. They say you can stack them, but I wouldn’t recommend stacking more than 2-3 as they would get stuck and may break trying to take them off. We use these cups daily and have for months. Very pleased overall.

This is a nice, quality set of drinking glasses. The design is simple and modern, and there are plenty of them in this package!I really like how thick the glass is. We have an ice dispenser in our fridge, and I have broken SO MANY glasses over the years just from the ice cubes hitting the glasses too hard on the way out. I don’t have to worry about that with these. I am sure they can withstand that force, no problem.These came very well packaged, and there was no breakage at all. Every glass is pristine. Perfect for barware or place seating!

Fortessa Basics Arcade Everyday 12 Pack Set Glassware. Simple pretty glass cups. Dishwasher safe. Good weight and good thickness. Appear durable and well made.Only things is the size. I got the 8 ounce pack but think the 12 ounce would have worked better for my family. The cups are smaller than I imagined.Pretty cups but should have gotten a larger size for my family needs.

This 12 piece glassware set is great for every day use. All 12 of my glasses arrived securely packed and intact (no broken glasses). They feel durable without being too heavy. The ridge design is on the inside of the cup, which I didn’t expect. I would have preferred the ridge detail to be on the outside of the cup to help with gripping the cup, but instead the outside of the cup is smooth. They do stack, but they can be difficult to separate.

Thick with some weight on them. But 3 of them arrived broken.
