Shatter proof glass is a fiction. But these are very durable. Owned 2 years, daily use, broken 1 out of 6. 4 1/2 stars

I love the dishes, but do not know if tempered glass as never broke one, but do not care to, although being a glass dish I seriously doubt it

Hi, I don't own these bowls, but I never met a glass bowl that couldn't, other than possibly leaded crystal.

It's glass but it's not tempered, I would suggest getting something outside of Amazon from an OEM glass, so that is tempered if you are looking to repair it yourself. Cost range: 30-60 $.. but worth it

Not at all. Search for "Window Punch" on here. That first result is what we keep on our Fire/Rescue truck for shattering tempered glass in an emergency. It takes more push to squash a bug than break tempered glass with the right tool.

I believe you should be able to purchase a glass drill bit (Made for for drilling glass). Drill some pilot holes, and then gently screw it in with some rubber washers, to prevent the glass from cracking from pressure.

Mr Thomas, I sincerely feel that you would not have any problems at all with these bowls regardless of what you do with them as long as it comes within the scope of normal use. Buy and enjoy.

I took that piece out of my bowls, I don't use them , but I assume you can contact the company and see if they can replace it for you.

They are not fragile. I've broken only one out of a dozen. 4 ft drop to concrete. Easily as sturdy as any glass of like size. Slightly heavier in my opinion. Hold the cold like crazy.

I just broke mine yesterday dunking. Two handed. Lowered it to 8.5 feet and was just having fun when snap, the glass completely shattered. $100-200 for new plexi. Haven't gotten to pricing out a sheet of replacement tempered glass from Spalding but I doubt it's cheap! I'm only 165 lbs but it was only 40*F outside so maybe that contributed. An expensive whoops but let that serve as a warning to other users that it's no pro system.

They are like glass if not glass. But they don't break or chip when you drop them. If you hit them with a hammer, they'll break.

No the glass is not tempered and is very thick and heavy ,so it will be extremely hard to break, I love my dinning set, the chairs are very comfortable

I would NOT. Tempered Glass goes without warning and is quite explosive when it does. You end up with 40 pounds of glass that looks like dog kibble :)All you would have to do is rock it during a heavy gaming session and there would be no crack, snap or other warning. Just a huge pile of broken glass and 3 monitors sitting in your lap.

Don't know... haven't tried it... I suspect it isn't tempered glass. I want them for keeping things cold, though the literature says they are just as good for hot beverages.

I couldn't imagine them being damaged by a dishwasher, by any means. They're extremely rugged, tempered glass. Mine is bumped and tossed around, inside of an empty glass Masson jar all the time. Never had any break. Hope this helps!

I would contact the company. They seem to very customer oriented and would probably be happy to give you the right answer. Since it is made of tempered glass, I would not feel comfortable answering definitively.

No, the glass is not tempered; I checked prior to making the purchase. I shopped around and asked questions about glass table tops before buying. I was told by the owner of a professional glass making company that tempered glass is not normally used for table tops. I purchased the 45-inch as a replacement for the one I accidently broke. It's been on my table in a very busy kitchen since November 2009. I am very pleased with it and have had no problems. I would buy it again without question.
