Great display next to my standing figurineToniThe size is just about right. Great topic for discussion with my guess. I can't stop them from testing it. 5
Eftertanka - HourglassJohnAlready using for meetings :-) I know this will also keep the pre-teens entertained4
Decoration only.CassieFor decoration only. I bought this thinking it was a functional hourglass which timed one hour. Before buying I searched the Ikea product information on the Ikea website for the length of time it timed, but it did not have this information. I timed it at home and it runs for about 8 - minutes and 11-seconds. Beautiful as decoration but totally useless otherwise.1

A gorgeous novelty.CharlottePerfect for the home office - this "hour" glass runs for about three minutes, I think! But so beautiful.5
6mins 21secsLMine takes about 6mins 21sec to completely transfer the beads over. Was hoping for a more standardized time like 5mins or 10mins for a larger version. Simple and good build quality3
Cool and inexpensiveMariaThese sand timers can be quite pricey elsewhere so Ikea's model is ideal5
Hour GlassDanielleGreat little working ornament. Looks nice and eye catching to some.5
Keep away from edgesAishaLast a week. Accidentally dropped it. Didn’t bounce just went bloop and shattered. Was so good though. Timing wise for getting stuff done3
CuteAlishaA cute little addition to my LOMMARP. Brings in a small piece of sophistication. The beads are light reflective so appear golden in the light. I haven’t timed it, so I’m not sure what the level of time is.5

Material

What is glass?

Glass is mainly made of sand, soda and lime melted at a high temperature. Tempering or various additives gives you extra-strong and impact-resistant glass that in some cases can be taken straight from freezer to oven without cracking. A big benefit is how glass can be recycled over and over without the quality deteriorating. Also, a lot less energy is needed to melt recycled glass compared to new raw materials. Our goal is to eventually use only recycled glass in our range.
