The glasses are made of varnished wood. After 6 months, still without paint damage and discoloration. The closing-comfort feature is not bad if you do not like the glasses is always left covered. However, it is also totally annoying if you take an urgent need and already Weider someone has left above his glasses. Sure, you can press it down so you should still be, because the thread is just screwed that I had removed his glasses with it. I in tears on Kloh, thinking now she is gone, but the thread was not broken, so again lucky.
