I immediately regretted the purchase.

The left side of the bracket is bent in the wrong position. Maybe it's because they were only sent in a flimsy cotton envelope, or maybe this is a design flaw. I mean, the post office can't send heavy packages with delicate ones, which, let's say, can cause damage. something plastic and glass but no I'm sure it should be production level. On the other hand, maybe my head is to blame for having the wrong proportions.

Pros
  • Multiple competitors
Cons
  • unreliable

Cute but cheap and breaks easily.

I really like these glasses. So much so that I bought a third pair after my first two broke. The first broke about a third of the way down the right arm, and the second broke around one of the lenses. I figured maybe it was just bad luck and I liked them so much I bought a third pair. They lasted several months but just recently broke the arm (don't know why) in the same place as pair #1. Although cute and inexpensive, they deform easily and eventually break. I have another pair of round…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging

I like the look but there are a few design flaws

I find the size and shape of these lenses and the positioning of the comfortable nose bridge ideal for extended wear. They are easy to position so they don't interfere with my distance vision but are fully legible. So why three? Two issues that aren't significant enough for me to return, but significant enough that I wouldn't order a second pair. The first problem is the width. I'm a woman with an average head size and my arms seem tense. The good thing is that I'm comfortable wearing the frame

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • High price
