This was a great product and helped me a lot during my move across the country. The BALEINE storage containers are sturdy, well-made, and the quilted padding gave me confidence that my dishes and glassware were protected the whole way. Everything fit securely, and the handles made carrying them so much easier. All of my items arrived without a single scratch. Highly recommend these for anyone planning a move or just looking for reliable storage. Read more

Pretty good container. I am using it to store my excess whisky and lowball glasses. The container is designed from soft, quilted cloth on all sides. The package includes dividers to turn a single large container into a container with up to 12 separate storage areas (sections or "cubbies") for individual drinkware pieces (see image #1). It also comes with a single quilted board which can act like a floor (or a ceiling, your choice) for under (or over) the dividers. The down side to having just the one board is that either the top (or the bottom) of the container will bow due to the weight of the items placed within the sections (depending, of course, on what the container is resting upon). The heavier the stored items, the more the cloth will bow (see image #2). If it bows enough and your drinkware pieces are small enough (or have thin bases that extend out past the glass diameter), they may slip/fall under the dividers and start to crash into each other (bad). It would be nice if the container came with TWO of the hard, quilted boards instead of just the one. All that said, the size is good for your everyday kitchen coffee mugs with handles, but my chosen glassware (various shaped whisky glasses) are a tad too small for the sections. Having put a few in, zippered the container up, rotated and inverted the container a few times, I found that while the whisky classes DID NOT suffer any damage, they were laying down (as opposed to standing upright as they were when I put them in their sections) when I opened the container back up (see image #3). If I were storing larger items (e.g. the aforementioned coffee mugs), this probably would not have been an issue. Interestingly enough, while the actual Glencairn glass didn't fall down (they are just tall enough to be held in place, they are still smaller than the section they are placed within (length and width) and do move about. So, for those of you interested in using these for whisky glass storage, just know that while these containers absolutely will work, they are not ideal. I would LOVE to see this company make a version of this container that is designed to fit whisky glasses properly (a bit narrower on length and width, and come with two quilted boards to go on top AND bottom). I would buy a bunch, and I imagine so would other people. Read more
