Some glass pieces end up becoming favorites while others barely get used after the first few weeks. What matters most to you when judging quality—glass thickness, design, ease of cleaning, size, or overall craftsmanship?

I know this thread is a bit old, but I just found it and had to jump in. For me, glass thickness and how easy it is to clean are the biggest factors. A piece that clogs fast or feels fragile never stays in my rotation. What about you—does design matter more than durability in the long run?

I focus on glass thickness and how easy it is to clean. A well-made piece with solid joints stays in rotation. I’ve found durable options at https://www.smokeday.com that hold up over time without feeling fragile. Their fast shipping and simple designs make it easy to keep a favorite.
