Really needed this stemware holder to carry wineglasses in our motor home, and the more traditional type just didn't work in our configuration -- and it turned out the style was perfect.  Unfortunately we had to re-glue a couple of the dowels, and thanks to other reviewers we put a little shim under one side to make sure it tilted correctly (plus we use a bungee cord to keep the stemware from sliding off as we bounce down the road).  If I were using it in my home, I think I'd "finish" the wood so it wouldn't attract grime and would be easier to keep clean -- but it's cute and different!
