Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Libbey Geo Heavy Base Tumblers, Set of 16
Customer Review: Just what I wanted!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got these glasses today, and I have to say the tumblers are beautiful! They are level, heavy, and shaped perfectly. They exceeded my expectations. The larger glasses are equally as wonderful. The everyday glasses are a little smaller than I am used to, but I also like oversized water glasses, so I'm sure they are normal sized for everyone else. The shipment was also packed very well, nothing was damaged. The glasses also come in the original manufacturer's box, so if you are giving them as a gift, the box looks like you bought them in person. And at this price, I may get another set for storage! I also recommended the 12 piece Libbey Bar set!

Still love these, have not broken one yet! I have even dropped or knocked one over to whacked it with a glass utensil accidentally and what would sound like a break did not even end in a chip! Continue to give these glasses 5 stars.
Customer Review: Nice but so fragile.
Summary: 3 Stars
I almost never give a review on things I buy. I know, it's very selfish of me; especially when I base my decisions on what to buy based off of them.
I've owned these glasses for a bit over 3 months now or so. They're wonderful glasses, have great weight to them and look nice.
Unfortunatly they also break really really easily. If you have kids, are clumsy, or even wash a little to vigorusly you might break them. Maybe it's simply a bad set, but I'm down to 9 glasses. Well, 10 if you don't count the one I used as an candle in a pinch and cracked from the thermal stress.
TL;DR version:
Nice glasses, real glass so they're fragile. If you think this might be a problem look elsewhere.
Customer Review: Beautiful Glasses, bad packing job
Summary: 4 Stars
These glasses are wonderful. They're just as heavy as they look in the picture so they're fun to use and durable. They are also very attractive and the two sizes in the set are perfect for any beverage!
The only problem I had with getting these glasses (and it has nothing to do with the glasses themselves) was that they were packaged very poorly. The box was not padded and was in quite bad shape when I received them. Miraculously, all the glasses arrived in one piece, which I think is more of a point in favor of their design than anything else.
Other than that, I'm really glad I got these! Fantastic value!
Customer Review: Cheers to Prime membership!
Summary: 4 Stars
This exact item was listed on my niece's bridal registry at one of the popular "Super" stores. Anyway, I was ready to complete my order online with her super store registry, when the thought crossed my mind to check if the item was available at Amazon.com, and sure enough, it was! Although, I was surprised that the there wasn't a price break in the merchandise, I was relieved that my Prime membership -once again- saved me a bundle on shipping. I would have had to pay about $10 for shipping if I completed my order with my niece's registry. My niece sent me a thank you card, and claims to be pleased with the set.Customer Review: Everyday Drinking Glasses
Summary: 4 Stars
These glasses are pretty solid, but they feel nice in your hand. Pleasant looking, they would be fine for iced tea, or cocktails. Nothing wimpy about these glasses but you don't get the feeling they belong in a truck stop diner. I like them. Libbey seems to feel they are indestructible because they are packed and shipped in the flimsiest cardboard box with nothing to keep them from rattling around in their little compartments. Just one step up from a manilla envelope. So, it's amazing only one glass was broken in route. I tried to get them to send a replacement but got another entire carton. Oookay.
