Do these look like plastic (if so, cheap looking?) or can they pass as glass until looked at up close? Thoughts on acrylic material?

I am very pleased with this set. They look like glass until you get very close. I believe they are an excellent value.

Not cheap looking. The acrylic is about 1/8" thick. I don't have a glass canister to compare the item to, but they look like glass to me. I am not sure how well they will hold up after many cleaning and not sure if they are easily scratched. I am using the canisters to store dry goods such as rice, cereal and popcorn. The item have a very good seal that keeps my cereal fresh. I would prefer glass, but acrylic serves my purpose.

Sometimes acrylic can be pretty. These are (quite frankly) crap. I went to close a container and the hinge wasn't quite lined up so the plastic cracked. I wish I knew how to get to the place in Amazon where YOU have found to ask these questions. It is frustrating trying to find items (kitchen and otherwise) made of decent material. I would rather pay more for a quality item. I do count on Amazon for a discount, but in this case it did not work out!!!

I really like them. They look very nice. They are very clear so you can see what's inside and they close and open easily with a nice seal.I do regret buying them.As a matter of fact I bought several different sets. I use them to store not many different cooking items: sugar, cake decorations, candy, sprinkles, flour, etc.

I put store and then typed not. I do not know why I typed not. Please disregard that word. I think I meant not only sugar and flour but my cake and cupcake decorations, popcorn, anything you would like to keep sealed and bugs out. They also look nice on your countertop. Good luck.

I think they look like glass from afar, but they definitely don't *feel* like glass...they're much lighter. Haven't had any problems with the quality of the plastic so far.

Hi, I'll be glad to give you my thoughts on this.The LED lights get a little warm bu not to melt the type of material you will use those against acrylic/polycarb.Go for it, these look amazing.

They are Plastic, and yes you can turn them to adjust the effect... it is as it shows on the pic only tinted on half. the other half is clear.

They are matte. I think u can tell they are plastic but it doesn't look bad. I have two sets hanging from the ceiling as room dividers. I think it looks pretty cool.

They are a clear acrylic. They are solid (not rubbery). I use them for beads and crystals and they work great. The lids are secure but easy to remove when needed.

They look like they could be plastic glasses, but they aren't. The set we have is all glass. They are very nice glasses and they have no issues in the dishwasher.

Yes they are plastic but not glossy. Look good. I apologize for slow response. Been out of town on business.

It appears to be glass, however I have not broken one so I cannot tell. They seem to heavy for plastic.

They are not clear plastic (looking like glass) but they are very transparent, not just opaque white. I hope that clarifies it.

The glasses are plastic but very nice! I gave them as Christmas gifts to a couple of friends.

In my opinion, no they are really cheap looking. If you you need them for decoration - ok, but don't expect to give them as a gift or party favor.

They appear to be glass to me. I tapped on them and they appear to sound and feel like glass. Hadn't thought about it before.

Are these truly glass, or acrylic? if they are acrylic, they'll discolor. What's the REAL DEAL HERE?

They are a heavy opaque glass. Mine are beautiful! Look very expensive to me. No regrets from me at all!

They look metal and upon further investigation, they are 'metalized plastic'. They look good though and seem to hold up well.
