No glass in pool area, please.
But melamine, by all means! Fill these beauties up with your favorite summer drink (might we recommend this watermelon, mint and cider vinegar tonic?). The smoky gray color lends an effortless elegance to these glasses, whether you’re setting up an outdoor soirée for your friends, a poolside picnic for the family, or some summer reading in the hammock (in which case, we suggest this strawberry mint sangria).

better than nothing
These glasses were gorgeous when they arrived. Nicest "plastic" glasses I have ever seen. But then I washed them... I washed them by hand per care instructions but glasses immediately started cracking vertically while drying in drainer rack. Now they look like they have crazing like old ceramics. They still hold water but not very elegant looking anymore. I did wash them in warm water but who washes their glasses in cold water if that was the issue? I would not recommend these.
