I would say that this wine rack is a decent piece for the kitchen, but the product description is somewhat misleading. The mention of the word "glass" I'm assuming describes the fact that you can use this rack to store & display wine glasses. The actual product consists of black wrought-iron frame and very, very cheap (not useable) PLEXI-GLASS shelves. I immediately disposed of the shoddy plexi-glass and will purchase actual glass shelves from a local dealer at additional cost. The iron frame is decent and easy to assemble, but should cost about half the price-tag given that it doesn't include actual glass shelves. Not an entirely misleading description, but the abysmal quality of the plexi-glass included with the rack has left a very bad taste in my mouth. That said, I'm not returning the item at this point. Shipping was just fine.

I had no problem with the plexiglass shelves. They are more durable then regular glass and I didnt think they looked cheap at all. Some people must have REALLY high standards. The rack was easy to assemble and fits perfectly in a smaller kitchen. Only downer was that it will not hold 21 glasses like the description says. You will be lucky if it holds ten :o(

I endorse the product in general, just DO NOT BUY IT VIA AMAZON MARKETPLACE. See the vendor Gaiam's website and other reviews, I purchased this product over a month ago and still have not received my order and have received no responses to my e-mails!

although it is better for the environment, it simply doesn't clean clothes very well. it is okay if your wash has no visible dirt. Even if you rub in it on dirt it doesn't remove it.

The lavender smell is nice, but it doesn't last through the rinse and your clothes don't smell like lavender in the least.

Even "the leading consumer magazine" gave it poor marks for cleaning. It's also expensive.

So, I reccomend this only for washing basically clean laundry.

Review for Lavender

"If every household in the U.S. Replaced just one bottle of 100 oz. Ultra petroleum based liquid laundry detergent with our 100 oz. Vegetable based product, we could save 220,000 barrels of oil, enough to heat and cool 13,000 U.S. homes for a year! ~back of bottle

The Seventh Generation Natural Laundry Detergent is ultra concentrated, tough on dirt and stains, non-toxic, biodegradable and hypo-allergenic. How often do you read all those items in one list?

For the past year I have purchased bottle after bottle of this Lavender scented product. Now I look forward to doing the laundry. It is more like a Zen experience. The lovely lavender scent is much milder than regular harsh detergent scents and they have a matching Lavender softener.

You may also notice this product cleans your clothes better and your skin will also notice the change. If you have any allergies to regular detergents, you might want to try this for a few months. You can also use less detergent, 1/4 of a cup is quite enough for most loads or you can use up to 1/2 cup.

This Product is not tested on Animals...I'm supporting this company as much as I can. They are really trying to make a difference in the world.

The 100 Fl.OZ bottle will wash about 33 loads.
