To find the best drinking glasses, we tested 21 sets in our Des Moines lab, evaluating each on design, ease of use, versatility, durability, and performance. We also received expert advice from Nadia Watts of Nadia Watts Interior Design, and Kristen Pena, principal designer of K Interiors.

They feel lightweight yet durable.
-
They don’t stack well without sticking together.
This large, versatile set of tumblers from Williams Sonoma’s Open Kitchen easily earned the top spot on our list. For one, it comes with 12 glasses in a mix of sizes (12 and 18-ounce), so you can use them for everything from water to coffee to cocktails. During our tests, we found that the largest glasses can even double as vases. All in all, these are great everyday glasses suitable for many uses.
Made from lightweight yet durable glass, these tumblers won’t break easily and are comfortable to hold. They have a modern yet classic look that can work with many different decor types and are dishwasher-safe. During our tests, we were pleased to discover how well they washed and how few water spots remained afterward.
One flaw of this set is that the glasses are technically stackable but can stick together, so you might want to keep them separate. Still, these are fantastic tumblers with a stylish look worth the price.
Material: Glass | Size: 12 ounces (short); 18 ounces (tall) | Quantity: 12
