Suggest a store where I can test drinking glasses?

[Anonymous]

I need to replace our drinking glasses, and I need something sturdy. I'd like to hold the glass before I buy it.

Suggestions?

OMG any store ever? Crate & Barrel, Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, any department store? I can't think of a store where you can't hold the glass...

Do you want to hold or want to drink?

I'm looking for something sturdy. The glasses I've bought from PB, C&B, etc. were rather flimsy and didn't last long. I recently came across beautiful, sturdy glasses at a party, but when I googled them it appeared they were French antiques (they said Paris on the bottom and had raised bees on them). If anyone knows what I'm talking about, I'm looking for something that sturdy.

So...you want antiques on a pottery barn budget?

What about Williams & Sonoma? Have you tried there yet? We have glasses from there and they are pretty nice & sturdy.

Sur la Table
HomeGoods
Bed Bath & Beyond
Etc.

If you want sturdy, go to a restaurant supply store.

You want to see someone drop it on the floor?

Williams Sonoma, or just ask the person who owns them. It's okay to do that.
