When you're in the market for tableware drinkware serving pieces, the first decision is usually capacity versus cleanup. Both the Mainstays Briar Can Glass Drinkware with Lids, Straws, Set of 4 and the Lyra Glass Drinkware Set, 16.7 oz, 4-Piece give you four clear glasses for cold beverages, but they're built around very different daily routines. One leans into a covered, straw-ready format; the other keeps things conventional and dishwasher-friendly. This head-to-head will help you pick quickly without overthinking.
Quick verdict: Want can-style glasses with lids and straws? Go with the Mainstays Briar set. Prefer a simple, dishwasher-safe tumbler? The Lyra set is your match.

Where each product wins
- Choose the Mainstays set when you want bigger pours and a built-in lid-and-straw system. It's the better partner for lemonade, iced tea, or sparkling water on a warm afternoon.
- Choose the Lyra set when you want glasses you can load into the dishwasher without a second thought. The modest size fits a standard drink pour and fits easily into your daily routine.
Mainstays Briar Can Glass Drinkware with Lids, Straws, Set of 4
Pick this set when you want your drinkware to do a little more. Each glass has a chunky can shape that stands out, and the bamboo lids with straw holes turn a regular drink into something you can carry around the house. The reusable plastic straws are a nice addition, and the BPA-free, lead-free glass can hold 20 ounces of any cold beverage. For households that like outdoor dinners or bar carts, this set feels more event-ready than standard tumblers. The biggest limitation is the hand-wash-only care instruction, so you'll need to plan for a quick wash after use rather than loading the dishwasher. If you don't mind that extra step, the Mainstays set is a strong pick.
Lyra Glass Drinkware Set, 16.7 oz, 4-Piece
This one is for the everyday minimalist. The Lyra glasses are simple, clear tumblers with a clean profile that works from breakfast juice to evening cocktails. The 16.7-ounce capacity is right for a standard pour, and the top-rack dishwasher safe label means you can include these in your regular dish cycle without a second thought. The tradeoff is that the set is just the four glasses-no lids or straws are part of it-and the higher listed price means you're paying for that simple, no-fuss design. If you want a no-surprises glass for daily use, this is the one.
Final call: For a grab-and-go drink experience, the Mainstays set is the natural pick. For a no-fuss table setting with easy cleanup, the Lyra set takes it.
