These lights are very well-made. Both the glass bulbs and the l.e.d. filaments seem strong, and the wire is sturdy. I was a bit leery of using glass instead of heavy clear plastic, but now I have no reservations. I recall that my plastic solar string lights ended up fading and discoloring after a few years, so I feel that these high-quality glass bulbs were a wise choice. Relating to that, I should mention that everything arrived intact, and was very well insulated.
