This is the best Mug tree I have ever had and to hold  8 mugs and it is rotating how awesome is that awesome is that.  You do not have to put it together as it comes shipped so that all you do it take it out of the box and put you mugs on them.  Its a perfect fit.  The only thing I did notice was that I had a hard time rotating it so I just put a small amount of WD 40 and it worked like a charm.
