are the glasses as heavy as glass? i like the shape but want the lightness of plastic

The glasses are not heavy at all. Surprising since they are a double wall. I don't like heavy glasses either Elaine. These are not heavy and I think the reason why is because possibly its a thinner glass resting inside the plastic maybe???? Not sure. They aren't heavy though. I hope that helps.

Then actually - you would LOVE these glasses. They're glass but very very light. My husband swears they're plastic - but I think they're just a very light weight glass!

They're very light. I'd say they're about as heavy as those really cheap, thin glass cups you'd get somewhere like Walmart. (But my kids haven't managed to break these yet!)

Yes, they are. I have another set that looks the same (and same brand) that I bought at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and those dishes are even heavier. The set from Amazon is not as heavy, but still heavier than many dishes. I love them though, they are very durable and look beautiful even after 12 years of daily use.

These are glass but bear in mind they are fairly heavy. I didn't realize they would be so heavy but it is hard to find a rumbler this size and we use them all the time.

Not real heavy. They are a good set of dishes. So far I've had no problems with them and they are beautiful!!!!

Robin, I can't endorse these wine glasses as being any sort of sensory pleasure to experience. They are a sound investment if you don't want them to break when dropped from a picnic table on to a wooden deck or brick patio, but that's about it. They do cloud with age and washing. They also scratch if not washed with a proper soft cloth or sponge. Good luck with your search, but I don't think you're looking for polycarbonate glasses. Cheers.

It is glass. These glass is heavy enough to be functional, without being too heavy. I have no regrets whatsoever over buying these glasses. Hope this helps you out :)

They are glass and very shiney I was worried they would be plastic like, but they are very shiney and glass. I have a very decorative living room and I am very proud to have them in there. I dont think you will be sorry. They exceeded my expectation.

They are light, (cant really feel you have them on) but they do not look or feel natural (plasticky feel). You really gotta play with them to loosen them up a bit because they are really stiff. But for the price, you really cant complain. Also it has some funky glue on it. id recommend taking it off before adding your own glue.

Definitely thicker than a wine glass, but similar in thickness to a normal water glass. The weight of the plastic glass is similar to glass if that gives you any indication. I have used these recently with guests and they were surprised it was plastic.

I believe they are Polymer, too light to be glass & a good buy for the money...JMO... I keep a pair on my book case & one on the garage work bench and a pair out in my shed...lol...

they are extremely light, one ounce (1 oz) and I have been pleased with them, they are sturdy enough without adding a lot to the shipping.

yes very ... much lighter than I'm accustom to but I've adapted very well, and they still look as good as the day I bought them... I hope this helps you !

I would say they dont have any lead in them because they are as light as a feather and leaded glass is heavier. I have never had a problem with them at all.

I want to say 'yes' as they are not lightweight but quite 'heavy.' They are very sturdy and I have used microwave to reheat coffee in them with no issues...glass stays cool. Hope that helps!

I am not sure. They are light because they are made of aluminum. If you need exact weight let me know and I'll weigh them. I suspect they weigh less tha 2oz

They are not quite as heavy as Fiestaware or other stoneware-type dishes I have owned. Neither are they likely to be as durable. They are beautiful. I bought them as a housewarming gift for our daughter. She loves them.

They aren't very heavy, but they certainly are not too light. I would say they are just normal weight for dishes. I love mine.
