Title: Not tempered
Product review: These are good basic glasses. The problem is Bormioli Rocco claims they are tempered. They are not (or at least not properly). Tempered glass is much stronger than normal glass. These break easily (we ordered two sets, a medium and a maxi -- one had a glass broken out-of-the-box, and the other had one broken less than a week after we opened them). Tempered glass also breaks into small, safe pieces, and shatters as a whole. These break into large pieces (I can't tell if they're any less dull, but one of my housemates claims they are), and they do not shatter as a whole (the entire base was left on the one we broke).
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
