It looks like the wine glasses are positioned so that when you pick up the basket, they are on the bottom. Is that the case? Won't they break?

B/c of the position of the handle, it does place the glasses on the "bottom". I would imagine that can break them, but I left the cardboard cover over them and they withheld approximately 5 lbs of pressure. I have however since placed new handles on the basket.

Hello, I think if you place the wine glasses on a tray first, and then place the tray on the bench, it will be fine. The surface of the bench isn't level enough to place the glasses on it by themselves. I will say though, that this is one STURDY bench, which has survived three years of Colorado weather - rain, hail, outrageous wind and subzero winters. And I can still sit my 200lb self on it without any wobbling or creakage of the bench whatsoever. You wouldn't know how strong this bench is just by looking at it, but it's really well-made.

NO!! they lock on a taper and cannot be turned up to form a basket, but you can take wood strips and a dab of glue I believe it is F some number and just a dab about every 4 -8 inch's will hold the wood strips...if I wanted a raised edge to stop things from sliding that would do it...

no , they are not made to stack and the handles are on the glasses tight . Removing and replacing them would eventualy weaken the metal.

Maaaaybe. Wine glasses aren't very heavy but this thing isn't super stable to begin with so I would think there may be a risk of it tipping over if it becomes top heavy. Do yourself a favor, spend an extra $10 or $20 on something a little nicer that will last and look better. The column supports are just cheap plastic and don't look very great. I use this in my basement laundry room so I don't care about the look too much.

These glasses are somewhat stackable-- if you look at their shape--I think that you are taking a chance of breakage -as the glass is thinI have been using these glasses for more than 6 months and they are holding up beautifully-

Yes, I stacked them to see that they do stack one on top of the other by themselves. But since they are glass, I wouldn't stack them unless you have other things around them as to not risk the top one falling to the ground and shattering. Since they are not made for stacking, there's no way to secure them.

I have, but in the basket on the top level. If you don't have that, I'd recommend using the silverware thing on the bottom. I believe they just don't want a small part of it to go down into the dishwasher and break the washer.

I am sorry I am unable to respond to your question because All my beautiful wine glasses have broken. I would NEVER put these beautiful glasses in the dish washer...

The whole top turns but if you grab the top closest to the glass, it twists off. You'll see a little break there and the lowest part doesn't turn easily.

I'm sorry I returned mine as it was broken upon arrival. The baskets look very nice, but did not seem sturdy so I did not order another one.

Those little brackets on the side open so that glass bottom opens up. Can be a little difficult to snap open the brackets

Yes. The appearance is deceiving; the handle pulls the basket so that the bottom becomes vertical. One bit of side advice - be certain to lift the brushed before crossing pavement. Not doing so puts a lot of strain on the wheel gears.

It will break, I have broken two glasses by just slightly hitting the side of my sink

I would not recommend doing it. The glasses are square in shape. Also, while the glasses are pretty sturdy, I wouldn't put them under that kind of stress. If you like the style/look (and I've found them to be very attractive and versatile), muddle your mojitos in another container and then pour them into the glasses.

not really. The top one will sit on whatever is in the bottom one, rather than the bottom basket itself.

The wine rack is screwed in and can be removed. I know because it was too large for wine glasses and we had to make some adjustments
