Excellent glasses for both formal entertaining and hold up, unlike other more expensive glasses that break even with careful washing.

Great product for the price. The only downside is the glasses are a little thicker and more heavy than I had expected, but they are quite durable! Very happy with my purchase.

Outstanding quality and durability. You would never know that this fine crystal stemware is so strong. The glass is not overly thick, and it is definitely not some sort of polymer-plastic in disguise...its indistinguishable in feel, look, performance and sound, compared to other fine crystal stemware...except that it's 10x as strong. A wise investment.

It looks like elegant expensive crystal, but is really study and practical. I bought the smaller, white wine size, but I would prefer even a smaller glass to be made available in this wonderful material.

One glass was tipped onto a granite counter top and it broke. The glasses were a gift to our son and his wife, who have a propensity for breaking wine glasses. They were embarrassed to tell us and threw the pieces. We haven't determined if they kept the warranty info. Think we are out a glass warranty or not.

Unlike other reviewers, our shipment arrived in perfect condition and the bases are all perfectly flat -- no wobble at all on our granite countertop. We use them primarily for guests and for special bottles of wine, so I can't comment yet on their durability.

We like the glasses a lot and use them outside on our porch every evening. Unfortunately one glass arrived in shipment! with a broken stem?!? Not really what you expect and a bit comical. We called wine enthusiast a few weeks ago and they immediately promised a replacement on the way. We haven't received it yet. Still, we enjoy the (other) glasses.

Pros

  • Dishwasher Safe

Glasses are simple enough to use for every day use yet stylish enough to use at a fromal dinner. We have found that either way, most guests like the glasses. The "most break-resistant" claim, I am not convinced is accurate. We have a granite top bar and while none has broken yet, not sure I want to put it to the test...especially after one arrived broken in the box! To the company's credit, the glass was replaced completely free of charge and with NO hassles at all! We enjoy a glass of wine at night and we entertain regularly and we find the glasses perfect for any occasion. We did wash in the dishwasher upon arrival, but have since washed by hand using the large brush.

The glasses are attractive and of high quality. I think my wine tastes better when I drink from them :). The main selling point for me was being able to put them in the dishwasher: I have tried to put them in four dishwashers and they are too tall to fit in the glassware rack.

Pros

  • Attractive Design

Cons

  • Too Delicate and Uneven

Best Uses

  • Formal Dining
  • Informal Dining

Purchased the Fusion Red & White glass collection for Christmas. [...]After more than four months of use, my general comments are as follows:- The quality is not very good. Two the the glass (one red and one white)are uneven. This is a little disturbing at these prices.- Next point, which again pokes holes in the company's "virtually unbreakable" claim; one glass broke after being knocked over onto a wood table. Now I'm not naive enough to believe that the glasses would never break, but I thought they could withstand a five or six inch fall. The answer is that they cannot.- On a positive note, the glasses are attractive.Bottom line, the price and unbreakable claim is not commensurate with the cost. I will not be purchasing another set (which I originally planned to do). I suggest anyone that is interested in this set to take a pass. At this price range, there are better choices available.

Noticed that glasses do not have a level base, tend to rock a little when on a flat surface. Other than that, I like them for entertaining and personal use.
