Libbey 81658 Review by Linda "Violyn" (Tempe, AZ)

I have been reading the reviews for these glasses and am surprised at how many say that they break. I bought my set 22 (yes, twenty two) years ago and have not broken even one. I was surprised to see this style still being sold today. The old glasses became etched in the dishwasher over time, so I want to replace them with the same style. I'm disappointed to hear of the breakage. I wonder if the quality changed over the years. I think I would like to take the chance and get a new set. I will post a new review after I've had it for a while, but the old set has been GREAT! I looked extensively online for a new style and just haven't seen anything I like as much without paying ALOT more.

Many of these glasses arrived "scratched"... and some had noticeable air bubbles along the sides. They were packed very well with cardboard between each glass - so I believe it's due to poor quality. I returned them for a refund.

Original review 11/6/09:
Like other reviewers, I was a little hesitant about possible breakage when I decided to purchase these glasses, but so far I've been pleased. It's only been about a month, but the way my husband and I pull glasses from the cabinet, it's always the same ones (in front) that are being used so these few glasses have gone through the dishwasher many times already.

Amazon's packaging was excellent and there was not a chip, ding, dent, or scratch on the glasses upon arrival.

The glasses have a good thick base (not necessarily level on the inside) and a decent thickness up top - I would say between 1/8-1/4" thick. One thing not stated in the product description (or any reviews that I recall) is that there is a very thin, faint line (seam) going up opposite sides of the glass from the molding. It's not a huge deal and many people might not even notice that they're there. It's less noticeable because of the design on the glasses; where two of the "star" (look into the glass and you'll see a four-pointed star) edges go up toward the top of the glass, that's where the seams will be. It's no big deal.

Overall, having spent less than $20 for a set of 16 glasses, I'm very pleased. My husband really likes the tall ones because they can hold more beverage than our previous glasses; I prefer the shorter "juice" glasses, so the set makes a great combination. They're very pretty glasses and (so far) I'm happy with the purchase.

EDIT 12/23/09:
Almost two months later, and still no scratches, chips, breakage, anything. It seems that as long as you know how to load a dishwasher properly, there should be no problems with the glasses being too fragile.

These pretty textured glasses can be dressed up or not. Always a glass with style. This set is perfect as a bridal registry set and makes a wonderful gift for someone setting up a household.
