Libbey tall wine glasses
I was so pleased with this purchase. Four boxes (six glasses in each box) arrives without a scratch - nothing was was broken. Great quality for the price. Both the deep reds and complex whites were wonderful from these glasses.

2nd set - great stemware for the price
This was my second purchase of this type of glasses. They look great - nice quality for the price. I wash them in the dishwasher and they hold up great.

falsified description
The description was misleading. I wanted to order white wine classes. The description said the glasses were "tall" and what I got was oversized wine goblets! They are huge!!!! The description needs to be changed.

Good Value
Nice glasses for the price. You can feel the seam on the stem on some more than others. Despite a valiant attempt to ship them safely (the box of glasses was in at least three layers of bubble wrap and in another box), one glass arrived broken.

wine goblet
heavy big not overly big like people are saying sturdy. a well off wine glass

Very fragile
good looking but fragile. tough to hand wash, and inconsistent results using the dishwasher which create chipped edges.

Great gift for a wine lover.
This will give your wine-loving friend a lot more pleasure than some over-wrought corkscrew. A great deal of your experience of wine comes from the aromas that develop in the air above the surface of the wine. A glass that forces the wine to have a large surface area for its volume and then narrows to concentrate the vapors will increase the flavor experience. Glasses with a thin lip seem to interfere less with the taste of wine than thicker (and cheaper) glasses. The shape of the glass makes a difference, too. Since we can only smell molecules that are in the air, the best wine-tasting glass is going to promote evaporation by exposing the largest possible surface area to the air. These glasses are wide at the waist and narrow at the top to get more from their wine. Does it make a difference? You bet-and in every taste test that I've been part of, Riedel glasses win hands down.

The wine simple tastes better in these glasses. The red wine Ouverture glasses are as close to an all-purpose glass as any and they're very inexpensive.
It shouldn't be necessary to mention that a wine glass should be clean and odorless. But sometimes restaurants, in their zeal to make their glassware clean use rinsing aids that leave behind a strong mineral smell. If you're spending a lot of money on a bottle of wine in a restaurant, sniff the empty glass first. At home, a film of grease can settle on a previously clean glass. It's no reflection on the quality of the housekeeping-cooking fats disperse in the air and settle on everything in a kitchen. An additional rinsing and a wipe with a clean towel are all you need.

Best Fitted Diaper
I have used both Kissaluvs size 1 & 2 with my son, from age 6 months - 2 years. He has never leaked! I never had a problem with drying them - perhaps because I live in a dry climate. My husband loves them too, so they are all we used. Buy them new at about each. I used 2 dozen at a time.

My son is such a wiggle worm that I recently bought a few fuzzi bunz pocket diapers. I like them better for his age (2-3 years) because I don't have to wrestle a diaper AND a cover on him. However, they are pricey at each.

I'm having a baby this month and bought a dozen size 0 - I will need at least another dozen - but they grow out of them so quickly. I have heard they are THE best infant diaper. High resale value as well.

Awesome!
Kissaluvs are the best! They keep baby dry while being incredibly breathable. Baby's skin doesn't get red like it does with disposable diapers. Also great for keeping in those wonderful breastmilk poops.

wonderful!
These are great if you're looking into buying cloth diapers, very soft and cushy!

Good exercise tool, not for wine
How anyone can use this beyond me. The seal between the cap and vacuum device is left to chance. Builds up your muscles but not the vacuum. Back it goes...poo!

A "must have" accessory!
Definitely a welcome addition to my wine accessories...simple enough to use(I can't for the life of me understanding the others that are experiencing difficulty in using this properly!)
Used properly along with a decanting funnel will make the difference between night & day for a red wine right out of the bottle.
Don't pass this up!

Product Good Shipping Not So Good
Product arrived on time, unfortunately DHL soaked the box (looked like it had been floating in a pond). The company was great, got right back to me. Haven't used the product yet, it is a gift, but was pleased with my dealings with them!

Greatest thing since sliced bread
This is a SUPER product...my only criticism would be a lack of instruction on how to use it...after you insert and push the 'cork' down, you must PULL UP on the little 'knob'...then you have to pump it 30-35 times to bring the needle into the red zone...the wine will keep at least 5 days (i haven't tried it longer)...then PUSH DOWN on the 'knob' to release the pressure when you want to use the wine...using a thumb on each side of the 'cork' push it up up remove it...NO RE-PUMPING IS NECESSARY...the price is reasonable...if you save a couple of bottles of wine, it pays for itself..i am going to get more for gifts...GREAT PRODUCT....LOVE IT

I found that the decanter will hold a seal. You do have to seat the stopper well into the decanter to get a good seal and it takes some effort to "walk" it out. I can live with all of this. The problem is with the pump handle that you extract the air with. With light use the seal in the handle failed. I believe that the pump handle materials are inferior to stand up to the effort required to extract the air. Metrokane asks for .00 to cover shipping and handling for a replacement. With the current quality of construction you would probably need several pump handles or more to get value out of your investment.

Would have given 5 stars had the bars been longer (my ONLY complaint)
I purchased two of these bars when they were on sale. I had expected to be able to hang more pots and pans on them however, they are a bit short but absolutely top-quality and beautiful to boot. They would look great in an expensive custom kitchen or in an older apartment kitchen (like mine). I have worked on custom kitchens before and again these bars/hanges would look great in any kitchen.

I only hit one stud when hanging two of these very nice (but short) bars. I used hollow wall toggle bolts in the three places I didn't hit a stud and that made the bar strong enough to hang cast iron pots on with no worries about the bar coming loose. If you use the less sturdy hollow wall anchors included with the bar then you might have problems hanging anything but aluminum pots or pans. Hanging utensils isn't a problem using the included hollow wall anchors since they don't weigh enough to loosen the bar once installed.

Be aware that the bars are so short that you will do well to hang 3 pots/pans on each bar. You can hang more utensils without a problem, however, the bars looked so good after I hung them up I decided to use the two I installed to hold pots and pans - rather than utensils. Because of the length of the bar, I could only get three pots/pans to hang on each bar, but they look great there and being directly over the stove it's very handy to have the most frequently pots and pans hung up right over the stove and the hooks cannot come off when removing a pot/pan or utensil because they are actually slipped onto the bar before installation and cannot come off when removing or replacing an hanging item.

The fit and finish is perfect All Clad quality - and not some cheap plated bars. As far as I can tell, they are highly polished SOLID stainless steel bars. If you happen to see these bars on sale for around a sawbuck (that's two 5's or half of a twenty for you younger folks) then buy a few more than you think you'll need. They have other uses as well and the quality can't be beat.

all clad utensil rack
A good well made item. Matches the other two we already have. Well made and attractive

utensil/cooking tool rack
My wife absolutely "loves" these hanging tool racks. The area behind her big gas stove was empty until I hung up two of these. They look nice, are well built, hold a lot of utensils, and make them easily available. I read a lot of reviews that complained the hooks came off when getting the utensil off. These allclad hangers are designed so that the hooks cannot be pulled off, once they are mounted.

Hooks came with it!
This rack is easy to mount. It looks good and it certainly works for utensils. I did not hit any studs and so will not use for pots. I have a ceiling mounted offset rack (to anchor in wood) for my pots. This rack is perfect for utensils and my All Clad measuring cups...one of the few companies that make 3/4 and 2/3 measuring cups....which I love. If you need extra hooks, they can be ordered here (I ordered an extra pack):

High-quality finish and strong, too.
First, this is great for pots and pans(see my "customer image" above for proof)! I didn't see any reason to pay twice as much or more for a bigger brand name, and I'm very happy with my choice.
The bar has a very nice polished finish, and being stainless steel, is plenty strong enough to hold anything the screws/anchors will support. Even mounted in drywall (as mine is), it's more than secure enough for my collection of anodized aluminum pots and pans.
I can only see two potential minor drawbacks: (1) the bar is not very wide or long, so if you want a strong visual statement, get something else; (2) since the hooks are threaded onto the bar rather than just hooked on, you'll have to unscrew one end to add more; however, I actually like this feature, because it means I can't accidentally lift or knock a hook off when I'm taking down a pan.
There are other bars a bit cheaper, but none of them comes close to the All-Clad in finish quality or hook design.
