Ordered two of these after picking up glass from broken stemware one too many times. Arrived quickly. Mushed together for shipping, but sprang into shape immediately when unpacked. No odors and ready for use with a simple rinse. Using these takes a little adjustment as they should be grasped and held by the bottom half, or cupped like a brandy snifter. The rim bends a small amount when drinking, unlike solid glass. What's terrific is no worries about dropping, knocking, chipping, or the kids or dogs bumping into them! They are bottom heavy, so they tend to stay upright much easier than stemware as well.
