Six tempered drinking glasses for £6 works out to £1 each, and at that price a broken glass is a shrug. IKEA UK sells the 45 cl IKEA 365+ glass on that basis: a straight shape, tempered for strength, dishwasher-safe, described as suitable for water and fizzy drinks and also for coffee and tea.
The listing also carries a safety paragraph that most shoppers will scroll past. It says to keep tempered glass away from rapid temperature changes, names pouring a warm drink into a cold glass as the example, and adds that scratches shorten its life. Read that paragraph first. It narrows the any-drink claim in a way the headline copy does not, and it frames everything else on the page.
Our verdict
A sensible £6 for a household that wants six matching everyday glasses and will follow IKEA's temperature-shock note. The price makes breakage cheap to absorb; the safety paragraph and the no-stacking note are the terms.
- A good fit for
- A kitchen that goes through glasses and wants a plain, replaceable set in a size that holds a can of cola with room to spare.
- We would skip it if
- You pour boiling tea into whatever glass is nearest, your cupboard space forces you to stack, or you want a glass with a published weight and wall thickness.
Reasons to consider it
- Tempered glass, dishwasher-safe, at £1 per glass in the six-pack
- A straight 45 cl shape that IKEA rates for cold drinks and for coffee and tea
- IKEA UK's 365-day returns period applies, and the same design comes in a 30 cl size at £5 for six
The compromises
- IKEA's safety note warns against sudden temperature change, naming a warm drink poured into a cold glass as the example
- The glasses are not designed to be stacked, so six of them take a full row of shelf at 13.5 cm tall
- No weight per glass, diameter or wall thickness is published, so the page gives you nothing to judge how sturdy one is
What we have not verified: IKEA's listing gives the height and the volume and stops there; per-glass weight, rim diameter and wall thickness are not published, and no recall notice appears on the page. Whether the glass is sold individually, and whether a local store has it in stock, were not checked.

IKEA 365+ Glass · 15 oz, clear glass, 6-pack
Plain tempered glasses at a price that makes a matching set of six cheap to buy and cheap to replace, in a size that suits both a cola and a mug's worth of tea.
Before you buy: Let a glass reach room temperature before pouring anything hot into it, keep cutlery off it in the dishwasher, and plan a full shelf row because they do not stack.
Price checked 17 October 2026. Retailer prices can change.Tempered glass, and what IKEA says that is for
The material is listed as tempered glass, which IKEA credits with added strength and durability, and the only care line is dishwasher-safe. The shape is straight, 13.5 cm tall, holding 45 cl. IKEA's copy puts it to work on cold water and fizzy drinks and then on warming coffee and tea, and the series text pitches the whole IKEA 365+ glass family as usable for hot and cold drinks alike.
For a household that wants one glass to serve every purpose, that range is the appeal, and tempering is the reason a £1 glass can survive a dishwasher rack for years. What the listing leaves out is anything about the glass itself beyond height and volume: no weight per glass, no rim diameter, no wall thickness. The six-pack ships at 2.45 kg including packaging, which is the only mass figure available and says little about how one glass feels in the hand.
The safety note narrows the hot-drink claim
Under safety and compliance, IKEA asks you to handle tempered glass with care, never use it if damaged, scratched or chipped, and avoid rapid temperature changes that might cause sudden breakage. The example it gives is a warm beverage poured into a cold glass. It also says to keep the surface scratch-free, avoiding metal scrubbers and contact with cutlery in the dishwasher, because scratches shorten the life of tempered glass.
Put those lines next to the coffee-and-tea pitch and the working rule is simple: a glass fresh out of a cold rinse or the fridge should not take a hot pour. For anyone who drinks tea from a glass every morning, that means letting the glass warm up first or accepting the risk IKEA describes. The listing carries no recall notice, so this is a handling rule from the maker, not a known defect.
Not designed to stack, at 13.5 cm a glass
Under good to know, IKEA states plainly that these glasses are not designed to be stacked. Each one stands 13.5 cm tall, and the six-pack box measures 27 by 21 by 9 cm, so the set arrives in a single flat layer. In a cupboard that translates to six footprints in a row, with nothing gained by nesting them.
A small kitchen pays for that in shelf space; a kitchen with a spare shelf pays nothing. The 30 cl version of the same glass is 12 cm tall and £5 for six, so the cheaper size saves only a pound and 1.5 cm of headroom. Pick the 45 cl when the glass has to hold a full can of cola with room for ice, and the 30 cl for juice or a short pour, knowing both take a row of shelf.
Six pounds for six changes how a broken one feels
The price is £6 for a pack of six, which puts one glass at £1. IKEA UK's return policy runs 365 days for unopened products and 365 days for tested ones with a receipt, refunded to a refund card. Whether IKEA sells this glass singly was not checked, so replacement should be assumed to come in sixes, and the sensible plan for a household that breaks glasses is to buy two packs and keep the spares boxed.
IKEA notes the material may be recyclable depending on local rules and asks that the glasses be washed before first use. None of that changes the decision. What does is the arithmetic: a set cheap enough to replace on a whim removes most of the anxiety around the safety note, because the consequence of a cracked glass is a pound and a sweep of the floor.
Skip it if the pouring rule or the shelf row is a problem
Skip these if boiling water goes into whatever glass is closest and nobody in the house will pause to let it warm, because IKEA's own note names exactly that as the failure case. Skip them if the cupboard only works with stacked glasses, since IKEA says these are not designed for it. And skip them if you want the weight or wall thickness in front of you before you buy, because the listing does not publish either.
Buy them if you want six plain tempered glasses for £6, will follow the temperature and scratch guidance, and have a row of shelf to give them. The 30 cl set at £5 covers the same design in a smaller pour. Either way the low price is doing most of the work, and it does that job well.
