A lot higher quality than I was expecting. It comes in a little hard cloth case in a box. I ordered this for a quick, no-thought beatnik costume, but I would probably use these in a variety of circumstances now, maybe once it's not winter and I actually leave the house. The shades really are as big as they look in the photo, so I dug that. They're very dark as well, so I imagine if I was in the sun they'd be super useful! But the only light I get these days is from my seasonal affective disorder lamp, so that's yet to be tested in the real world.
