Mardi Gras Flutes Set of 6 #15194

Not what I expected . Cheap looking and almost a plastic feel and look

Flutes are so.festive,unique and lightweight. They make every occasion extra special.

I sent these to a friend as he gift. He LOVED them. Said they are so beautiful!

Packaging was unnecessary with "peanuts" everywhere. With static cling it was a big cleanup after opening the shipping box and digging down to find the small box inside.



Glasses are disappointing, so light they seem like plastic. They can barely stand up and a breeze could knock them down. I'm sure they wont last. Too much work to return them after all that packaging but would not order them again.

Thank you for your feedback. We definitely make an effort to ensure that the merchandise will arrive without breakage, and have found that placing a box inside a larger box filled with packaging materials is the most effective way to ship fragile glasses.







The "peanuts" are completely Earth-friendly and biodegradable, made from potato starch, so you should add them to your compost bin and they will disintegrate as soon as they come into contact with water. (There should have been a postcard explaining the packaging materials inside your box).

Bought these for New Year's dinner party and love them. Got lots of compliments from guests. They are delicate, but a great value. Added to the celebratory theme!

Used glasses for a dinner party on Christmas Eve. Everyone loved them and had fun choosing which design to select. Very thin glasses which makes the champagne taste better. This was a Christmas present to myself and I'm very happy that I did.

Overall, very nice. Only surprise was how light (weight) they were, so not sure of their longevity. I won't order from this company again: they still use styrofoam peanuts as packaging, which is just a mess.

John, thank you for your review. Actually, the peanuts we use are 100% biodegradable and certified compostable. We do NOT use styrofoam packaging. The fill we use is starch-based, not petroleum-based, and disintegrates in water without polluting groundwater resources. It is made from annually renewable resources, leaves no harmful residue and is completely recyclable. When we packed your box, it should have included a green printed card that explains the story behind our Earth-friendly packaging fill. It costs more, but we think it's worth it!

I love the different patterns of the glasses. Using them for special occasions only, as they are extremely delicate.

Ordered these for a Christmas present but will not give, returning. Glass is so thin, appears to be plastic. I have seen glasses like these that are fine glass considerably more expensive. I guess you get what you pay for. Very disappointing.

I was very pleased with my purchasing experience. The staff was very friendly and knowledgable . Package arrived promptly, and well done. I will definatly shop IWA again.

Saw these glasses in the catalog I received with a wine cork holder birthday gift. Ordered as a fifth birthday gift for my daughter. So pretty. So delicate. Will order another set for myself!

We love these champagne flutes because they are thin glass and very attractive. They almost feel plastic until you drink from them. They are very delicate, but that is what we like about them. If you appreciate good stemware, you will like these flutes.

We gave these as a New Year gift and they were lovely.

These flutes are very delicate but very attractive and added fun to our New Years Eve party. I like the different patterns on each one and the guests all noticed and commented on how nice they were.

I loved these and finally ordered them for myself. They are really lovely but also really fragile. I'm sad to report that we broke one just putting them away-tapped it accidentally and it fell over and shattered.

These glasses are just perfect for a champagne toast! So lightweight and festive. can't wait to use them!

These flutes were a gift to a good friend with impeccable taste and style. She loved them! And now I think I need to get some for myself.

These are a gift for a 27 year old young woman who is setting up her house. These glasses are trendy and useful. She has made them the center piece of her counter. Varied, light and different. A wonderful conversation starter as well

I was shocked to see these in person. They looked so beautiful in the catalogue. Absolutely the cheapest, most light weight piece of nothing I have ever touched. I could get 6 bud vases from the florist and use them for champagne instead. At least they will feel heavier. My husband and I both joked that they could be disposable. They feel more like plastic than glass. Never again!

These are so beautiful and creative. It will be special serving the bubbly in these glasses. They will be a conversation piece too.

I was very disappointed when my order arrived. The glass is so thin that I thought the flutes were plastic. They are also much smaller than the way they look in the photo and not nearly as pretty. The quality is so inferior that I doubt that I will ever order from this company again.

Ordered these for gifts for my sisters at our annual getaway. Everyone loved them and made sipping sparkling extra special. Now they each have one as a memento of our trip to Key West! I'm also ordering them for a friend's birthday!

I bought these flutes to serve double duty- as well as using them for sparkling wine, they graced my dinner table as vases at a recent function. Each filled with alstromeria and baby's breath and lined up the length of the table, they added just the right note to the decor. Each one is unique and so they were perfect.

I was somewhat disappointed with the quality of this item. The glass is so thin I'm wary of actually using them. However they are as pretty in person as they are in the picture.

The glass is so thin I am afraid to hold them!
