Customer Review: Great price, will make a nice gift!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow! This is a steal. I martini glasses are not perfect as they have a couple of teeny tiny bubbles and the curved stem is not very comfortable to hold. But who cares...the price justifies it all. I have paid more for just a simple cocktail shaker! And it shipped free and was at my door in 2 days (with Prime) and everything was intact.
I like that the glass is not too thick. I like my martini glasses to be wafer thin, tall stemmed and elegant, but those are usually in the $6-12 per glass range and have to be handled with more care. These glasses are a little thicker. The thickness is similar to the regular ones you buy for $2-3 at Crate and Barrel, Ikea or Pier 1, but the curved stem makes them look cooler than the regular fare.
This set is packaged in a white outer box with the product image and inside the whole set is packaged in molded styrofoam. The packaging makes it look more expensive. It probably would not sell for less than $12-15 at a discounter like Big Lots or Ross. At the $8 price you can pick up this set as a hostess gift or as a gift for office folks.
Customer Review: Great if you can get it at the lowest price!
Summary: 4 Stars
I was pleasantly surprised at this martini set. And, I was equally impressed that it arrived unbroken, thanks to the styrofoam packaging from the manufacturer and additional packing material in the Amazon box. Since I kept checking and was able to get the set for $9.99, I went back and ordered another set quickly for the same price. I think that the set is well worth that price, but I would question anything over $20. The glass is thin in the glasses and the shaker, so I fully expect to crack the pieces by accident over time. Also, the shape of the stems of the glasses is curved, instead of straight, increasing the possibility of dropping or mishandling. I figure that I will be as careful as possible, but I do plan on using the sets outdoors for al fresco dinner parties and think that at the price at which I bought the sets, they are much better than plastic.Customer Review: Complete garbage glass is almost as thin as paper

I ordered 2 sets of these and gave one to a friend as a gift. He was making us a couple of cocktails put the lid on the shaker and within the first shake it shattered. My set 3 glasses broke the first use. This is the cheapest quality glass I have ever seen. As soon as you unpack the item and handle a glass it feels like it could break in your hand. The glass at the local dollar store is fine china compared to this junk! I believe in the old saying "you get what you pay for" but in this case you dont get anywhere close to getting what you pay for. I only paid $8 with free shipping!Customer Review: Great price

I bought 2 sets of the shaker and 4 glasses. We use these glasses and shaker quite a bit and usually wash them in the dishwasher. So far we have lost one glass after handwashing it, it just broke while sitting on a towel drying. We also lost one of our shakers as it developed a large crack in the glass while in the dishwasher. For the price, I couldn't have gotten the remaining 1 shaker and 7 glasses, and the trays are really nice too. As long as you're not expecting high-end quality, it's a great buy!Customer Review: It's Gorgeous and a Steal !
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a gorgeous set that is reminiscent of Pier One, IKEA or Dansk, and at $8.00, it's a steal ! Beautiful quality, well-packaged, and you can't do better for price. Target has these glasses for $9.99 per pair, minus the martini shaker or the tray.
If you're looking for an inexpensive gift for someone who enjoys martinis, this set would be ideal. It looks much more expensive than the price suggests and the quality is excellent.
