My wife and I bought 6 over the weekend in preparation for outdoor party season and we are returning them.

First, the chemical smell is just overpowering and I could not imagine drinking out of them. After washing one mug about 5 times, the smell was still there. So I threw the whole lot of them into the dishwasher. Pulled them out and the paint was peeling off most of them. Bad deal...I can not recommend them.
