Household Essentials Stemware Storage Box, Windowed Storage with Lid, 12 Storage Compartments, Double Handles, Perfect for Storing Special Occasion Glassware

I love these boxes. They are sturdy, stackable and attractive. Unfortunately, I had to return some of them b/c they did not fit in the space I have for them & I agree with other reviewers that the listed sizing is a bit hit or miss. So, I'll list some examples of what did and did not fit.Salad Plate Storage Chest:Rimmed soup/pasta bowls - 9" in diameter - when I put them in the Salad Plate Storage Chest - the bowls touched all 4 sides and made the box bulge a little. Probably would be fine, but my wedding china is platinum rimmed, so I decided not to take a chance. I used this size box for my 8 1/4" Salad Plates - which left plenty of room on the sides, but not too much where they would slide around excessively. The next size up is the Dinner Plate size - which fit my 10 3/4" dinner plates perfectly with right amount of room on the sides, but i thought they were too big for my rimmed soup bowls. I could have padded around the bowls w/ some bubble wrap and that would have been fine. It's a judgement call.Stemware storage chests: Ok, this is where I had to spend a little time testing sizes. The sizing & description of the boxes & inserts were a bit confusing - even having read many of the reviews & measuring my stemware before purchasing. My suggestion is to forget the listed "glass name" of the box and focus on the measurements. For instance, my Red Wine crystal fit in the "Goblet" box, but not in the "Balloon Wine" size, etc. I'll use Waterford Marquis Vintage crystal stemware for reference sizes. I'm listing what I measured, but if you want to look up for the exact measurements, I've listed their product name. Also, I bought 1 of each size stemware storage chest so I could play around with them to see what fit. I'm glad I did. I ended up returning a couple and ordering more of a different size.Goblet storage chest: Fit my Full Body Red Wine (also fits White Wine & Iced Beverage - see my notes below).Full Body Red Wine - base 3 1/3", bowl diameter approx 3 1/2"- 3 2/3", height 8 3/4". About 1" to spare on the top & room to spare on sides and top. As I mentioned, these did not fit in the "Balloon Wine" storage chest - the width of the bowl did not fit in the dividers at all - even alternating the bowls facing up & down - just too tight.Champagne flute storage chest: This size actually fit my champagne flutes, white wine & footed iced beverage goblets.Vintage Flutes (champagne) - base 2 3/4", bowl 2", height 9". There's space on the sides and the top of the rim is *just* below the top of the box, but it closes with out touching the rims, so it's perfect.Vintage Classic White Wine - base 3", bowl 3", height 8 5/8". Space on sides and top. Note - this also fit in the Goblet storage chest - but had lots more room to spare on sides. Again, it's a judgement call, but I opted to use the champagne size box as it had less "play" on the sides and it was a little cheaper than the Goblet size box.Vintage Iced Beverage - base 3", bowl approx 3", height 7". Space on sides and lots on top. Note - this also fit in both the Goblet & the Balloon Wine storage chests - but had lots more room to spare on sides. Again, it's a judgement call, but I opted to use the champagne size box as it had less "play" on the sides and it was a little cheaper than the Goblet and Balloon Wine size boxes.

Warning: don't store your straws like I did in the photo. I only had them like that for an hour or so before placing them on the top between layers of bubble wrap. Someone told me in the Starbucks group that the straws will bend if left that way.Anyway, these are the perfect size to store your Venti cold cups. I needed room on my coffee bar to decorate for Christmas and didn't have anywhere to put my cups. These were a life saver. They are sturdy and stack nicely. I wouldn't stack more than one though. The cups are heavy when you have 12 of them in the storage container. I checked on them after 2 weeks stacked like this and it hasn't buckled and the cups and straws aren't damaged or dusty. The little window is nice too so you can see what cups you have in a certain box. If I acquire more cups, I will definitely buy this again.

I've accumulated several sets of antique china from my mom & aunts and when I add those to my own china and my holiday dinnerware, it gets ridiculous!! So for the last 6 months I've been on a mission to get it all stored properly. My theory was to have different colored storage for each set of china so that I would be able to see at a glance which items belonged together. I purchased 2 other brands of storage (one blue & one green - so far the plan was working!! ) and while they were OK, they were nowhere near the quality of this one. I ended up using this for my holiday china, which is a lot larger in diameter than the antique china.I think the biggest difference for me is that because this is a square box, it has sides that are reinforced (as well as the bottom.) The round storage containers alway feel a little flimsy when you try to move it. The handles on the sides of this one look like they are firmly attached. I don't if over time I would completely trust the handles, but they appear strong and certainly make it easier to carry. Just double-check each time to make sure they aren't coming loose.I think it is time for my plan to change. No more different colors for me! This is the only type of storage I'll be buying in the future!
