I did not buy these on Amazon.com, but through Target. I have had them for nearly four years, and yes, I have lost some of my set, but through my own clumsiness. I do not feel these are "too fragile". If you are looking for drinkware that would make it through WWIII, don't get these. They are eligant yet modern, and I have washed them many times in the dishwasher, and they have never broken. Treat them like the glass they are, and you'll enjoy them for a long time:)

Original review 11/6/09:
Like other reviewers, I was a little hesitant about possible breakage when I decided to purchase these glasses, but so far I've been pleased. It's only been about a month, but the way my husband and I pull glasses from the cabinet, it's always the same ones (in front) that are being used so these few glasses have gone through the dishwasher many times already.
Amazon's packaging was excellent and there was not a chip, ding, dent, or scratch on the glasses upon arrival.
The glasses have a good thick base (not necessarily level on the inside) and a decent thickness up top - I would say between 1/8-1/4" thick. One thing not stated in the product description (or any reviews that I recall) is that there is a very thin, faint line (seam) going up opposite sides of the glass from the molding. It's not a huge deal and many people might not even notice that they're there. It's less noticeable because of the design on the glasses; where two of the "star" (look into the glass and you'll see a four-pointed star) edges go up toward the top of the glass, that's where the seams will be. It's no big deal.
Overall, having spent less than $20 for a set of 16 glasses, I'm very pleased. My husband really likes the tall ones because they can hold more beverage than our previous glasses; I prefer the shorter "juice" glasses, so the set makes a great combination. They're very pretty glasses and (so far) I'm happy with the purchase.
EDIT 12/23/09:
Almost two months later, and still no scratches, chips, breakage, anything. It seems that as long as you know how to load a dishwasher properly, there should be no problems with the glasses being too fragile.

I have been reading the reviews for these glasses and am surprised at how many say that they break. I bought my set 22 (yes, twenty two) years ago and have not broken even one. I was surprised to see this style still being sold today. The old glasses became etched in the dishwasher over time, so I want to replace them with the same style. I'm disappointed to hear of the breakage. I wonder if the quality changed over the years. I think I would like to take the chance and get a new set. I will post a new review after I've had it for a while, but the old set has been GREAT! I looked extensively online for a new style and just haven't seen anything I like as much without paying ALOT more.

I had this set right after getting married - it has since been replaced. The glasses, while gorgeous, are very fragile and thin. In addition, at the time we didn't have a dishwasher, and these glasses are difficult to completely clean without a dishwasher due to the small detail pieces around the bottom.
Over all, I loved the looks of these glasses, but for everyday usage they weren't practical at all. Three stars, because they are beautiful even if fragile.

I WAS A LITTLE HESITANT ABOUT ORDERING AFTER READING OTHER REVIEWS ABOUT THE GLASSES BREAKING SO EASILY. AFTER USING THEM EVERY DAY AND WASHING IN THE DISHWASHER THEY HAVE DONE GREAT. SO FAR NO CRACKS OR BREAKAGE. LOOK GREAT.
