This 5-minute timer is "beautiful" and "well made" with accurate timing, praised as "perfect for soft-boiled eggs" and tea. Customers love the cherry wood and sand color options. However, some reported sand sticking to glass causing flow interruptions, and a few received units with loose glue joints requiring repair.

I inherited 57 hourglasses from my mother-in-law (some of which I bought for her over the years), and I have added to the collection since then. My guest bathroom is mainly accented with shades of purple, so the purple sand in this hourglass is perfect all nestled in amongst my amethyst rocks... no more room for anything else!
Bought as a gift for father in law. He liked it, but it’s unfortunate just how often he has to tap or nudge the hourglass to get the sand to move again. It flows mostly okay, but sand sticks to glass, which causes buildup.
Love it. Delivery was fast too.
Got this and a smaller, 3 minute hourglass for my wife for Christmas as tea timers. One for green tea and one for black. She loved them. Much more classy than a digital timer! Would definitely recommend these. The quality and finish are excellent.
Looks gorgeous; just like the opening of “The Days of Our Lives”.
Prompt delivery. No hassle.
Beautiful
I was surprised at the beauty of this hour glass and will place it on a kitchen counter where visitors will notice it.. I checked the accuracy and it runs out of sand at precisely five minutes, perfect for my soft-boiled eggs.
The hour glass is lovely and just what I was looking for.
Thanks my wife loved it and im sure i will get more from u all
The one-hour hourglass is lovely but the sand gets stuck so it's not at all accurate.
I really like the product it's well done
Great little hourglass. Recommend to others. Had to glue the end on when I received it but not a big issue. I think the cold weather loosened the glue joint.
Absolutely beautiful product but it was coming apart on both ends separating from the glass so I’ll have to use some glue to keep it together. But then it should be fine and again it is beautiful and looks like nice quality.
Was accidentally sent the wrong order (one with purple sand), but customer service was outstanding and quickly corrected the mistake and sent me one with white sand as I'd originally ordered. Beautiful, hand-crafted product!! Absolutely LOVE! And great customer service in addition to quality products is something that's difficult to find these days.
Well made, and accurate. Beautiful, and slightly hypnotic. I'm pleased
We gave the hourglass as a birthday gift and our grandson loves it. He especially liked the engraving. We are very pleased with it and your service.
I was pleased with my purchase of the Hourglass and my friend loved it. I was especially impressed with the timely response, the friendliness and courtesy I was given.
My brother-in-law collects hourglasses so I did a Google search and happened upon justhourglasses.com. It was his fiftieth birthday and I found the cherry wood with purple sand. It was so perfect and then I was able to add an engraved piece to make it personalized to read Happy 50th Old Timer. He absolutely loved his gift and it arrived just in time for his party. I would order from you again and highly recommend your company!
Was a good christmas gift for my mom.

Always wanted a nice looking hourglass. We were setting up stations during Lent and came across your site. Lent is why I chose the purple sand. Many made positive comments on the hourglass as a visual. And some just raved that it was awesome.
Didn't know if it would get here in time for the specific service the pastor had planned but it came in record time.
We love the hour glass I purchased the hour glass for my husband for Christmas and he was awed by it.
I would love to have a larger one so I will be thinking about getting him a larger one.
Great servicethe hour glass got here on time for Christmas.
I purchased the item as a gift and it was loved.
My item was received in a very timely manner.
I use this hourglass in my class to guide 10 minutes (two times) of silent eating. This helps develop healthy chewing and appreciation of their food and good table manners. The size of the hourglass and the purple sand make it something special rather than dreaded silence.
Simple quick and easy.
