They are also very pretty. They make me happy every time I reach in the cabinet for one.

A bit about where this review is coming from. I grew up in the fifties and lived in houses designed by my father in that particular California mashup of Craftsman and Minimalist architecture I always associate with Sunset Magazine of the 50s and 60s.I was specifically looking for a design that would be easy to pick up and comfortable to hold. These really fit the bill and they're nice to look at too. The design, with it's angles, makes them nestle into your hand so you don't need to hold onto them tightly which is an advantage when a guest is tipsy (or you're older and have recently dropped a glass).They are rather light, and two 12oz and one 14oz glass developed cracks when put under ice maker chute — the trick to avoid breakage is to angle the glass so cubes hit the thicker bottom rather than a side. Using crushed ice option works too. No breakage in dishwasher but they don't seem to get as clean as thicker glasses, and they spot more. When hand washing you might want to use a toothbrush or at least use (soft) sponge vertically since residue from a WhiteRussian, Horchata or OJ tends to hide inside the sharp angles and a once around lightly with sponge doesn't cut it. I usually do this w/o rinsing and then immediately put in D/W to sanitize — and they come out spotless.Because of the design I really like these glasses with the 1" cube ice cubes from the Tovolo Perfect Cube Ice Trays available in various colors. Try making them w/ cranberry juice and pouring vodka straight out of the freezer (or pink lemonade) over couple or three of them -- spectacular.And if you're into cubist or constructivist art, or like or have any of the Bertoia, Eames or Saarinen tables or chairs with spider or crisscrossed wire bases these are a no-brainer.Love them. Highly recommend.

As I have horrible luck with receiving fragile items in one piece, I was worried these would show up a shattered mess. But despite rather scant packaging, they were all in tact. As they are really quite attractive and I loved them immediately, I turned around and ordered the larger and taller highball/cooler (16.25oz) version too.As most other reviewers have already pointed out, the grip and hand-feel on these is totally stellar— the design just makes sense. But my reason for purchasing these is they can be run through the dishwasher and live to tell; I have enough kitchen doodads that require hand washing so I demand drinking glasses that don’t need babying. These fit the bill and then some (tho I do only wash in the top rack). The heft of the double old fashioned is absolutely perfect as now I have the cooler size (what I call a "highball") to compare it to; I find the cooler (sold separately) to be a tad too weighty… that’s probably just due to my puny girl hands and the fact that I judge glasses for daily drinking, not just a piece for special occasions or weekend cocktails. So yeah, the 13.75 oz double old fashioned size and weight is fabulous.It’s a 5 star purchase for me but I must add I think it’s silly that glass products need to state they’re BPA-free (is this not the exclusive domain of plastics?!). And another small gripe that they don’t arrive in quite as much cushioning as needed to navigate the rigors of shipping. (But if you wanted to give these as a gift they do come boxed in a way where you'd only need to stick them directly in a gift bag; it's high quality retail packaging). Otherwise I am utterly enamored with the style, quality, and price point and am now considering completing the entire collection by buying the 11 oz rocks version.
