So, some are probably going to criticize or make fun of me for this review, but this thing is EXACTLY what I was looking for, only for a totally different purpose than holding mugs and glasses. Before I tell you what I use it for, I think it's worth noting though, that I have a huge mug collection and tried them out on this stand as well and it works amazing well for that purpose (as it should since that's what it's for)! It held 15 mugs without breaking a sweat and didn't wobble, tip or bend in the slightest degree.
That being said, I live in a very cold, snowy climate (base of the mountains in Salt Lake City, UT) and we have a lot of gloves, mittens and beanies in our house. Usually they all sit in a pile by the door in our mud room. I've been on the lookout for a long time now for a mitten tree or sorts to hang, organize and dry out all the mittens, gloves and hats that accumulate. If you search "mitten tree" you'll find a few different options of what I'm talking about. I ordered one and it was a complete piece of junk. The parts wouldn't screw together and it wouldn't even stand up straight without wobbling or tipping. And the price is ridiculous for those things! As I was looking at those, somehow this little mug tree came up and I thought to myself, "That actually looks perfect for mittens and is less than half the price of those others!" So I took a chance and ordered it, and I'm so glad I did!
This thing comes in one piece or steel and is completely solid and sturdy without being overly thick or heavy. It's very well designed and can hold 15 mugs or cups (or gloves or beanies in my case) without taking up a ton of space! I love the simple, yet modern and chic design and how you can hang mugs in a couple different ways as opposed to those racks that only allow for hanging by the handle.
I know that my use of this rack is unconventional, but I'm THRILLED with how it looks and functions! See my pics. If you're looking at other mitten trees, I highly suggest you save yourself some money and frustration and buy this instead! Thanks Neat-O!
