Attractive glasses, hold a full 8 oz.
Double walled glasses do require special handling to avoid breakage. I had a couple Bodum glasses which seemed thicker and more durable, and, ahem, my mother eventually broke them anyway. The only way I'd stir something in a double walled glass is *gently and with a plastic spoon*. I rarely use my dishwasher but hand washing with a soft sponge brush such as this is essential -Durable Sponge Cleaning Brush Cup Bottle Bottom Scrubber Kitchen Cleaner Tool for Tea Glass Chinaware Porcelain Coffee Stains 3 PcsI think the reason some people complain about "explosive" breakage with some brands is because of the partial vacuum they have. It tremendously improves the insulative properties, but the pop of air rushing *inward* startles people when they break, and I suspect the vacuum actually makes the glassware *more* fragile. These glasses don't seem to have much pressure differential, but they definitely have a hard seal, as opposed to a silicone plug. They don't really keep drinks hot or cold like a thermos would (the large open surface area relative to the rest of the glass is a factor), but they also don't sweat or get too hot to handle.Happily there are no big ugly logos plastered across these glasses as some have. I think the main reason I like them is that coasters aren't needed to prevent marring your wooden furniture, and they do keep my morning coffee warmer for the 45 minutes or so it takes me to drink it.

Deceptive device
To be fair, if you look at all the pictures you will see that this is only a headphone adapter for headphones that use a lightning connector. I was not so smart (my fault) but be careful. They don't show a picture of the headphone side of the adapter until well down the page. I bought this, of course, to use with my current headphones that have a normal, round, headphone -type jack. This adapter is useless for those headphones. I'll be sending mine back because I don't need this thing.

Replace the screws that come with the kit.
Update... after contacting the company regarding the screws that came with the kit, they went above and beyond to make things right. With that kind of customer service, I have to update my review to 5 starts. The torches are a great addition to my backyard, and hopefully they'll start using better quality screws.I would give this product 4 and a half stars if I could but I can't give it 5 stars. I really do LOVE this kit, however, I suggest that when you receive it, you take one of the screws (that holds the bracket to your post) to the hardware store and replace them all with something of better quality. Even though I pre-drilled the holes, I stripped most of the screws without hardly trying. We ended up replacing them all just to be safe.Also, there are some bottles with slightly smaller openings (even though they are "standard") that we couldn't get the gasket to fit inside. That was a bummer, but I don't think that's an issue with this kit, just an issue with the bottles I tried using.So, replace the screws, pre-drill your holes (especially if you have pressure treated posts like we do), check that the gasket fits inside your bottle before you spend the effort of removing labels and such, and enjoy. They are a beautiful addition to our backyard!By the way, if you want to remove labels from bottles, soak them in a large bucket with water and a cup of ammonia. Let them sit for an hour or so (use gloves) and peel the labels off. You may need to scratch them off but this was the easiest method I found! They came off really easily :)

Seems to keep temperature consistent longer than other double wall cups
I received the 12 ounce set for Christmas (Thank you Amazon Wish List!) and wanted a smaller option for Cappuccinos. The great part about this glassware? It keep the coffee drink-ably warm longer than other double-wall glassware I have. It also keeps ice in the glass lasting longer than the beverage. I also love the wide bottom (which is probably the reason for longer temperature consistency) for the stability of the cup itself. I have large dogs that have tail-wagged over other cups to spill. The only downside of this size? The Keurig on the middle cup size is to the brim, and the smallest setting for the cappuccino, the milk and foam that I use is overflowing. I will keep these for the cold adult beverages, and stick with 12 ounce for my coffee.

These torch kits kick @$$! Buy a few...see for yourself. Then buy more!
I rarely wrote reviews, but this product deserves a great review and so does the customer service behind the product.The product: these wine bottle tiki kits are super easy to set up and install. Choose whatever bottles you like and tighten them on. I used tiki bite fighter fuel in mine and they not only look great, but also have noticeably decreased the flying insects in the evening. I initially bought them for my sons first birthday party in the evening since we had a lot of people coming over and wanted the yard more lit. I liked them so much and fit so many compliments that I have already re ordered more and recommended them to friends and family.The customer service: there was some MINOR hardware issues with my 1st order. I sent an email regarding those issues and the seller went above and beyond to make things right. Completely impressed me.I just received my second order and it looks to be in perfect shape. I'm excited to get them installed...now I just need to drink some wine or whiskey so I have the bottles!

Pretty glass that showcases your drinks
I ordered these for a party and they were so much fun. We were drinking a cocktail called Aviation and the drinks looked so pretty in these glasses. Plus, you don't have the long stems like most martini glasses so they went into the dishwasher so easily. Everyone commented. They look more expensive than they were.
