Love it!KaryLove this great piece!5
Makes a good playful and pretty office decorJanSatisfying to see the sand fall, easy to handle, size is perfect, so is price . Only wish the material inside could be audible to the ears ..the sound of falling rain or grains makes a good distraction, helps to break the mental fatigue and creates a moment to disconnect . 3
Useless product - random impulse buy.AndrewThis is a great duct collector for your home but serves little other function. The "timer" is made of thin glass so It needs to be handled with care. It measures 4 minutes and 9 seconds, so I supposed you could use it for runny soft boiled eggs.1
CuteAmalieWorks great and cute!5
One of my favorite ikea little purchases Juan SandinoVery easy 4 minute timer, to watch the time go by. I bought one and I want another. Sand doesn’t get stuck up like others; works beautifully every time. Very relaxing to watch , perfect size, perfect price, useful if you’re obsessed with time and productivity. I hope IKEA keeps making these.5

Fun!LynseyI’ve always wanted an hourglass, so I jumped at the chance to buy this cute one. I timed mine and it’s 3:40. I won’t use it to count down time, just to have something fun on my desk.4

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.
