I would like to know if these knobs are heavy and feel solid. I'm looking for real glass that stays cold if in a cold room.

These knobs are pretty heavy, I don't think they are plastic. We used them to replace broken ones in a 1940's house. They are very nice.

They definitely feel solid and have a good weight to them. A wonderful replacement to old style knobs.

Accidentally answered yes to this. I have never tried freezing with these. Not why I bought them. Sounds a little scary. Would think the glass would easily break.

The glasses are fairly thick, which I prefer. I think any glass will sweat if the contents are significantly colder than outside temperatures. However, I find these glasses sweat less than most.

I wouldn't call them heavy. They have the weight of stone wear. They aren't particularly light either. If you need a lightweight dish a thin China or corelle brand dishes may be best

No, the glasses isolate the temperature of your drinks pretty well, so you will likely not feel if you drink is very hot or very cold.

Actually, they are very heavy. But that's okay with me because they are very solid, not cheap or flimsy.

They are sturdy. They feel as if they are solid however I'm not 100% sure. I was happy with the overall quality of the mug.

I know that I have to watch how I put ice in them, I have busted several by dropping cold ice cubes after I had just washed the glass in hot water. I would definitely put in a metal spoon if I was going to pour hot liquids, most of the time you would be ok.

They are not fragile. I've broken only one out of a dozen. 4 ft drop to concrete. Easily as sturdy as any glass of like size. Slightly heavier in my opinion. Hold the cold like crazy.

I have them packed away as I just moved, so I can't look at them. I honestly can't remember if they said anything about being real crystal. For the reasonable price, I would think not but they are REALLY nice! I am going to be getting a few more as they are really nice. My sister was surprised at how nice they were and wants to get some as well. I am VERY pleased with them!

They are solid. They are not very thick but that is what I like about the knobs - easy to grab to open doors.

These knobs are rather delicate, I am using them on a vintage cabinet in which I keep bathroom linens, i am saying thos because the doors are rather light and these knobs do not get a workout. Since the screw goes into a samll bolt/nut embedded into the glass, too much force would certainly put too much stress on the bolt and i might break. I have used Liberty PN0238-CLR-C 30mm Victorian Glass Cabinet Hardware Knobs on ky kitchen island as the screw goes though the knob making it rather sturdy and I use cup pulls in brushed nickel on drawers. I do not know about 3 3/4" pulls specifically as it has just worked out that every pull in my house is 3" and I have either filled in holes and drilled new ones or drilled new ones and used a back plate to cover the old holes. Hope that helps.

yes, these are very heavy. they are really nice, because you can use them in fridge, freezer, microwave and oven. I have purchased several of these before i bought this set. I think you would be very happy with them.

They are solid glass. I have had my set for almost a year now and am very happy with them.

Hi Alan, These are quite lightweight, not the heavy type at all. The backs of the handles show the reverse 'press' of the front, which diminishes the looks a bit, in my opinion. I hope this helps -

They have a nice hefty feel to them, as you would want in a coffiee mug. Not thin like china would be, not clunky, not cheap. I am very happy with them.

I do not have a way of measuring their individual weights accurately, but they are one of the heaviest set of flatware that I have ever used. They feel very solid in your hands and probably twice the weight of other less expensive flatware I have used in the past.
