No, don't get glassware from Ikea. I dropped one and it shattered into glass dust all over the kitchen floor. It was a tremendous pain to clean up. Terrible cheap glass.
We bought some Bormioli glassware at Bed Bath and Beyond made in Italy. |
| Go to homegoods |
+1. We got great glasses from Libbey there for maybe a third of what something similar costs at Pottery Barn or C&B. |
Same here. They are extremely durable which comes in handy you want to toss all those plastic kids cups. |

We use these http://www.casa.com/p/bormioli-rocco-stackable-glass-16-1-4-oz-set-of-6-240480. We have 4 different sizes. My son loves the 11oz mugs We've not dropped them from great heights but we have dropped them and they don't break.
I love most that they are stackable. Saves so much space. I bought them at casa.com (the housewares branch of diapers.com) but when I just googled them it looks like you can get them at target or amazon and other places. |
| We've been using these for six years and have lost maybe one to breakage: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/dailyware-impressions-16-piece-set/1012078935. They have a nice weight and feel. |
Ugh, my link doesn't work. They're the Libbey Impressions glasses at Bed Bath & Beyond. |

Duralex french bistro glasses. I once had once bounce down an entire flight of stairs without breaking.
I prefer the original, non-stacking design. Available at World Market and also at Williams-Sonoma, I think. |
| Tarrrrrget! |
| I got a couple of 18 piece sets of Duralex at Costco maybe 2 years ago at a great price--maybe $25/set. Not sure if they carry it any more, I haven't gone down those aisles for a while. |
| we also got duralex once we had kids. Very sturdy. Got first set from amazon and then bigger ones from Williams Sonoma. |
| Another vote for Duralex. My glasses from Crate and Barrel have all broken, so I just bought more Duralex. |
| My Libbey glassware is 15 years old, no chips & I dont even think one has broken despite heavy use |
I have had the same experience with IKEA glasses. They break easily, even from just clinking together in the sink. |

Love the Ikea glasses.
Sure, glass breaks -- but no more or less than our C&B glasses. |
