Are these glasses sturdy or light weight?

I purchased 20 of these glasses three years ago, fully expecting that some would break, and I'd already have replacements. To my surprise, these have held up amazingly well! They are sturdy, however they are not too heavy or too light. Our family of 5, including 3 boys (elementary & middle school -aged), haven't had any incidents with them. I wish I could claim the same with my dishware...!

That was important to me too. They're heavier and more durable than most stemware. None-the-less, they are glass and won't take a lot of abuse. Reasonable care.

Sturdy. We're hard on these glasses using them daily and into the dishwasher. Only have broken one (in dishwasher) since owning them probably almost a year - pretty good for us.

They fall into the sturdy category. I use them for every day and for dining outside.

I think they're quite sturdy while still looking elegant, not blocky. I base my statement on the fact that I dropped one on a hardwood floor and my heart went right to my toes as I expected to be sweeping up shards of glass. To my delight (and gratitude) the glass was not even cracked..

Not terribly sure, I mounted them on my bike without weighing them. I'd say they're not overly heavy. They do ride well, although they do make a sound on smooth pavement.

It is glass. These glass is heavy enough to be functional, without being too heavy. I have no regrets whatsoever over buying these glasses. Hope this helps you out :)

They seem to be a light to medium weight. We use them for weekly church functions and they have held up quite well.

I think they are lighter than most stoneware on the market. We have been very happy with these so far. Very durable and no problems in the dish washer.

They are not fragile. I've broken only one out of a dozen. 4 ft drop to concrete. Easily as sturdy as any glass of like size. Slightly heavier in my opinion. Hold the cold like crazy.

The eye glasses I got are for glare reduction with no magnification and considering how light weight they are seems like made of an acrilic material or very light glass.

Absolutely, they are quite light. Guess it somewhat depends on what you're hanging on them though.

I wouldn't say they are flimsy, you can push on them and feel give. The glasses are actually designed very nicely, my wife and I love them. You would have to try really hard to damage the lenses we've seen 5 movies since buying these and not a single issue or defect. Highly recommend these!

The glasses are quite sturdy and none were broken. In my opinion the box the glasses came in should have been packaged inside another insulated box when it shipped.

They're light but they are solid, not hollow so there is some weight to them.

These are relatively light. They are sturdy but Im not sure how they would be for commercial use..

We really like these glasses and use them often. They feel very solid with what I would describe as a rounded lip. I purchased them for their solidity after breaking 3 of my much more flimsy classes in one evening!

They are very light as they are plastic tips/nails. Several ounces if that.

They are not really heavy, but heavy enough they don't tip over easy. I think they are well made.

The glasses are not heavy at all. Surprising since they are a double wall. I don't like heavy glasses either Elaine. These are not heavy and I think the reason why is because possibly its a thinner glass resting inside the plastic maybe???? Not sure. They aren't heavy though. I hope that helps.
