They arrived safe, intact. The box is sturdy and thick, inside is a foam insert to protect the glasses. They are not too thin as to be fragile and not too thick as to be clunky or cheap looking, good size, weight, they feel good in the hand, nice stable glasses. The glasses did have a slightly oily, hazy dust which washed off easily. I recommend if this is a gift to open the box, wash the glasses then return them to the box prior to gift giving, the glasses will glow, be shiny for presentation. Very pleased with every aspect of these glasses and packaging. I'd say excellent value, highly recommend.
