I really enjoyed these balloons. Although I imagined them to be bigger, the size is perfect. They are large, but not too large. Overall I really like the shape. They feel a little softer than a Qualatex balloon to me and sturdy, but not super sturdy. I havent popped one, so I cant really tell. Mine came with some imperfections but nothing big and although being completely inflated they didn't burst. So i would say, good quality thete. Their smell is really nice too, and so typical, very italian to me. What I would wish for is that they come with oil instead of powder (for health reasons).
