FROM ROOR.US:

"The Ninety Nine line by ROOR are high quality functional glass pieces that contain a small visual flaw or blemish. Each piece that is deemed as a Ninety Nine piece is marked with the Ninety Nine logo. A Ninety Nine piece may contain a scratch on the glass, a blemish in the logo, or uneven sandblasting. What you will not find is unhealed cracks, imperfect angles, or a different quality of glass, the imperfection are visual only and with never interfere with the performance the piece. Since these pieces are not consider 100% perfect we here are ROOR do not expect our customers to pay full price."

Our experience with these models is inline with ROOR's statement; minor aesthetic blemishes, scars from healed cracks, scratches, label damage, nothing that will effect the structure or function of these pieces!  Some customers & staff have not been able to even find what is wrong with some models, all for a 30% average discount!  If you want your ROOR to be as perfect as possible, then definitely check out the main ROOR line!  But if you are down for a discount in exchange for a little history and character, a NINETY-NINE will be a great choice for you!  Feel free to contact us with any questions about the specific NINETY-NINE you are looking at, and we will get you all the information we can!
