Works wellGreat for storing my grandmother’s china. Was concerned they would be flimsy but they are more sturdy and substantial than I expected. Recommend

Perfects for our needsWe are remodeling our kitchen and needed to empty our cabinets. I have several miscellaneous wine glasses—four champagne flutes, red wine glasses, and even some specialty “hurricane“ glasses we got on a cruise. I was hoping that the Richards Homewares Micro Fiber Deluxe Twelve Section Stemware Chest-Grey would be able to hold my rag-tag collection of glassware and it was!I am no puzzle builder, but the cardboard inserts were clearly labeled on the instructions and I was able to put everything together in one try! You don’t know how difficult that can be for me, especially with unclear instructions. But for the average person, it’s quite easy to assemble.Each space was very generous. As a matter of fact, I was able to put two champagne flutes in one space. I wouldn’t do this for moving or long-term storage; this was just for a few weeks, although with some foam padding between the doubled-up stemware it might work for longer term needs. The hurricane glasses fit very well—no space issues. As we put our kitchen back together, we are assessing what goes back in the cabinets. Some of these may not make the cut. As long as in the end, each piece of glassware has its own section, I have confidence in this storage system. If I need additional spaces, I will definitely purchase this again.

Well MadeThis product is well built, easy to assemble and allow ample room for my glass goblets. I can even wrap them in bubble wrap for extra protection and there is enough room to do so.

Works well once set up correctly.Baby-proofing our house has led to a lot of compromises as far as what we can and can’t store on open shelves, so I was happy to have come across this wine glass storage system while looking for a way to pack up a bunch of unused glasses. The cloth-and-cardboard construction provides a rigid storage setup that is also lightweight, and collapsible for those times when we do need to use the glasses (parties, heavy drinking weekends, rainy days, etc).Setting up the box was pretty much self explanatory, however the nature of the cardboard and inserting it into a cloth bag (for lack of a better term) meant that there was a little bit of a struggle to get everything fitting in just-right. I had to make several adjustments before the lid would close easily, which unfortunately meant taking the glasses back out and re-aligning the base plate.Overall I’m pleased with this product’s ability to safely store my unused wine glasses without having to go through full-on “packing mode” and breaking out the bubble wrap. The handy label on the front is a great way for me to know what is in each one without having to open anything.

Inexpensive, OK for household storage, not for transport of stemware outside the house.These are lightweight storage containers for household stemware storage. The container is fabric with divider inserts and bottom reinforcement made of a thin cardboard that does not provide much substantial structure to the container. The container has a zipper for closure and there is a place to insert a label to identify the contents. The container does tend to bend a little when it is filled and carried and there is no protection for the stemware on the top other than the container fabric and the top edge of the cardboard stemware dividers. There are also no handles on these containers so care must be taken when they are carried or moved. I would not recommend these containers for packing and moving or transport of stemware outside the house. That being said, the containers are inexpensive and just what I needed to keep my stemware clean and stored away until the next holiday gathering.

Dish StorageGood product! Ordered to store serving pieces and works great even though they were sold as stem storage containers. Convenient size and easy to convert to store bowls, casserole, and gravy boat. They can easily convert back to stem storage if needed in the future. Would certainly recommend. Fair price and shipped quickly. Arrived well packed.

Great ProductQuite a nice product for storing glasses after you’ve run out of cabinet space. The quilting, zipper, and cardboard inserts are all well up to the task, and assembly was very easy. The cardboard inserts are a smooth cardboard, with a nice finish to it (i.e., it’s not a rough or corrugated cardboard). The way the cardboard interlocks when it is assembled, and the nice snug fit when the assembled cardboard dividers are slipped into the zippered quilted case, make for a sturdy assembly that I would not hesitate to stack on top of one another once filled with glasses.To those complaining about this product, or other similar products, not being sturdy enough for a move, please be realistic and stop bashing products for not performing well for tasks they were never intended to do. These are not advertised as moving products — they are simply a safe way to store unused glasses, each in its own compartment, to prevent them from bumping into each other and potentially chipping the glass. Any mover will tell you that the only SAFE way to move is to individually wrap each glass with paper, and then put them into a sturdy box where they are prevented from moving around.

Overpriced for quality of itemBought two of these to store my mothers crystal glasses. Padding is very thin, inside dividers are thin cardboard which tears easily and offers no support inside the box. I had to replace the bottom with a piece of plastic and used some plastic bauble storage dividers to support the glasses properly. Very expensive for product actually received & disappointing . Only thing sturdy is the zip .

Not very sturdy.The fabric is nice, but the flimsy cardboard they provide provides limited support. Cannot put anything on top of this. Plus, if you’re carrying you need to hold the bottom.
