Customer Reviews

Delivered as promised5
Solid, stackable glasses. Packed very well. I previously got the juice glass version and loved them so much that I had to purchase the larger version. (I retired the ones I was currently using in favor of these space saving ones!) And this may sound trivial, but the stickers on the glasses were the type that easily pull off without leaving glue residue.

Short but sweet5
Ordered these glasses from Amazon and received yesterday. All were in tact throughout shipping. Opened the box and my first thought was wow these things are really tiny. But upon closer inspection, the glasses are indeed short, however they are much wider than normal. Since they sit low and have a flat bottom, they are not apt to tip over. They are sturdy and heavy, glass does not feel cheap. They are very clear and they feel comfortable to hold. I have ran these through the dishwasher already, and none of them broke. I would definitely recommend these glasses to anyone.

Bormioli Rock Bar ROCKS!5
The Bormioli Rocco Rock Bar collection is a boon for my kitchen, family and guests. I can store enough in my small cupboards to allow me to rinse and wait till the dishwasher is full to run, and still have enough for the next family meal or snack. For company I prefer not to use disposable products and this collection allows for enough glassware to be available for a crowd of guests! Thank you Bormioli and Amazon.

The 16.25 oz. glasses are perfect for the "big guys" with big hands. (I've sometimes wondered, watching guys reach for a glass of soda, if they feel they are living in a miniature world. Not with these glasses!) They are also perfect for smoothies, ice cream sodas, special sundaes.

The 12.5 oz. is perfect for that all purpose beverage with ice - water, soda. iced tea (yes, I know there are special glasses for that), or a big helping of juice.

The 9 oz. is the all-purpose glass for me. Not too much, not too little. I find I use this one most often. It is especially useful when you want to allow people to fill their glass, and ask for more; as opposed to fill a glass and not finish.

The 6.75 oz. juice glass is a standard in my household. Every youngster can get a good grip on this glass and enjoy a beverage.

The 2.5 oz. shot glass is, I thought, of little use to me, but I recently picked up a set on sale at a local store. Why? They are too cute. I recently used one for a granddaughter who wanted a drink of water at bedtime. It worked. I'll come up with some other uses --- how about filling with dip for small snack before bedtime?

Then there's the 13.25 oz. double old-fashioned glass. Have not purchased these yet. They feel like a shorter version of the 16.25 oz. glass; a good feel for those with bigger hands or perfect for a short cocktail. Envision it to be perfect for a Manhattan-on-the-rocks.

Bottom line is, for me, this line of glasses is so good that I spent all this time to talk about it.
