These wine glasses are great! I like to purchase glasses without stems for fear that my children will break them or knock them over. These glasses sit perfectly on any surface and are very stable. 12 turned out to be the perfect number for my new apartment and they are perfectly dishwasher safe. They don't look cheap and they are easy to hold! You must wash them when you receive them, but this is customary of ordering any kitchenware. Overall, I would recommend.
