apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

If they already have chipped edges in the store, they wouldn't last 5 minutes in my apartment!

these are very pretty, but I agree with cat--the only drinking glasses that I'll buy any more need to be all but bomb-proof.
I recommend these :

they're reasonably priced, stack well (great for small cabinets), and have survived 4-ft drops onto wood floors.

Max,

Is the glass per se light in weight? I have been looking at light highball glasses for almost a year. I have these blue glass highball that are heavy and I am tired of them. Not to mention that I broke #4, so have 3 left. I either want full sets, or sets that are completely missmatched. So I would love to find something that every glass has a different design, so we know which glass is who's - I am avoiding making silly faces when by mistake I drink the sparkling water from my husband's glass (flat water here only :-)
I liked very much some thin thin glasses made in Italy at ABC home, but at a $40 a pop, it's too much. Don;t you think?

JR - You and I are so on the same wavelength!

I have those exact same CB glasses. They have lasted a couple years now, which is a record for me!

I like these ring glasses...

Chinatown glasses here... if they didn't break or chip there, they can survive about a year of me ;-)

After moving, first order of business was to chip/break everything in his kitchen. Within about a month, all fragile things disappeared.

Although thin glass looks so very elegant! *sigh*

These are great too. You can use them for toothbrushes, pens, pencils, paintbrushes, etc.! They're great!
