Over the last year, I've had 5 pairs...and you're right, the quality does vary somewhat.
I've had 4191 as sunglasses...they were extremely nice, and held up very well. 80% amber tint. Spring hinges, too. I've had 9620 as distance glasses...they were nice, but the springy temples felt a little bit thin and cheap. They wore comfortably, though, and my doctor guessed $250. Looked great, on, and they're made of stainless steel. I've had 4632 as reading glasses...they were nice, but the springy temples felt a little bit cheap. Same as 9620 in appearance and construction, just a different shape. I've had 3396 as distance glasses...they are extremely nice, and very light weight. Tons of compliments on them. http://www.chuckknight.com/pics/plastic.jpg My all time favorites, so far. I've had 5803 as distance glasses...they are extremely nice, and the sunglass clip works beautifully. Lots of compliments on these, too. http://www.chuckknight.com/pics/wire.jpg Tons of glasses...one of the "benefits" of a rapidly changing prescription. :-) All in all, no major complaints...and they held up beautifully to daily wear. -- Chuck Knight On Sat, Mar 14, 2009 at 10:58 PM, Paul <[email protected]> wrote: > > There's a lot of variation in the quality of the frames from Zenni.
