Here's why I bought several sets: (1) Price is right. (2) The look is OK (nothing spectacular, but certainly neat and sturdy enough for ordinary dust-free storage of china). (3) The vinyl exteriors can be dry-dusted or wet-wiped clean. (4) These storage sets were perfect for making a nice presentation of my mom's large collection of favorite china I was passing on to a newlywed couple. NOTE: These units are for storage. If intending to TRANSPORT china packed in such a set (in any moving vehicle) or if you wish to STACK the units as you carry or store them, I'd recommend placing each unit in a separate, sturdy cardboard box or other protective container to avoid any chipping or breakage of your dinnerware.
