Choosing glassware for tableware, drinkware, and serving comes down to one decision: do you want a covered glass with a straw, or a simple tumbler for everyday use? The Mainstays Briar Can Glass Drinkware with Lids & Straws, Set of 4 and the Lyra Glass Drinkware Set, 16.7 oz, 4-Piece answer that question in very different ways. Both sets are clear glass and come four to a box, but the similarities end there. The Mainstays set is designed around covered sipping, with every glass pairing to a bamboo lid and straw. The Lyra set is a more conventional drinking glass, sized for everyday pours.
Quick Verdict
Go with the Mainstays Briar Can Glass Drinkware if you want a larger glass for cold drinks. Choose the Lyra Glass Drinkware Set if you prefer a low-fuss everyday tumbler that cleans up easily.

Product Notes
Mainstays Briar Can Glass Drinkware with Lids & Straws, Set of 4
The Mainstays Briar set is built around convenience and presentation. Each of the four 20-ounce clear glasses has a can-inspired shape that makes a cold drink feel more special, and the included bamboo lids keep ice from drifting out while the reusable plastic straws make sipping easy. The design sits comfortably in both modern and traditional kitchens, and the set is made in the United States. That lid-and-straw package is its strongest reason to buy. The trade-off is care: these glasses are hand wash only, so you'll need to set aside extra time at the sink instead of loading the dishwasher. If you don't mind that, it's a generous pick for anyone who loves iced drinks.
Lyra Glass Drinkware Set, 16.7 oz, 4-Piece
The Lyra set is the low-fuss choice for everyday tables. Four clear 16.7-ounce glasses have a clean, simple silhouette that suits everything from water and juice to milk or mixed drinks. The top-rack dishwasher-safe build is the clear advantage: you can drop them in with the rest of the load and move on. The limitation is capacity: at 16.7 ounces, each glass holds noticeably less than the Mainstays can glass, so they're not ideal for extra-large drinks or heavy ice. If your glasses go straight from the cabinet to the dishwasher, this set delivers that convenience without fuss.
Final Choice by Use Case
For casual outdoor gatherings, the Mainstays Briar Can Glass Drinkware is the better fit at $8.48. For everyday meals and easy handling, the Lyra Glass Drinkware Set is the right call at $12.37. The $3.89 difference buys the Mainstays extra capacity, while the Lyra set brings simpler maintenance.
