Hi Missizzy: Actually, I've never broken a plate or a glass due to the open shelves. Most of them have the wire "rail" from the stairs behind, however; we are very conscientious to really only have what we need on the shelves. By not overpacking them, we're able to have ample room for all things. This being said, John always says that the glassware in my house lives in fear, though that is solely due to my clumsiness and has very little to do with these shelves.

A great product? Yes. A great design? No.

This is a design competition and this product, while efficient, is simply a product. Design is beautiful, it's art, it's expression. This is a space saving gimmick that while useful is certainly not art.

I am profoundly disappointed by the response this has received.

Love your blue eyed cat, what breed is it?

Also great if you are trying to be more observant about the amount of oil you cook with. I love it.

Green apple, kale, celery, cucumber, ginger and an entire lemon with the skin is my favorite tonic. Makes me feel right every time.

My cat can smell cheese from the other side of the house. It amazes me how good his nose is. He also only likes very good cheese, preferring Epoisse to Cabot Cheddar any day. Guess it runs in the family.

On another note, he can sniff out the cat-haters instantly and always makes a point of hanging right next to them whenever I have a cat-hater in the house. I think he knows he's torturing them and it gives him pleasure. It certainly makes me chuckle.

Sounds like a crappy architect. I wish my husband could get paid before a potential client! I guess only lawyers and doctors and architects from 15 years ago have that ability.

Me four.

I am married to an architect, not a starchitect but an architect. A person who studies codes, setbacks and zoning laws along with materials, applications and, finally, design. The amount of time and energy that goes into his work astounds me.

I never imagined spaces could be transformed so dramatically before I met him.

Nor could I ever have dreamed living in the quality of space I get to live in now, had I not opened my mind and heart to an architect.

It's a shame that so few people recognize the true value in an architect's work outside of the shocking buildings popping up by starchitects around the world.

Check out www.infectious.com for something similar but less taxing environmentally. Rather than using plastic cases, they have developed a sticker that does not leave a sticky residue on your phone/car/wall, so you can change it whenever you want. Plus their products are much cheaper, around $15/pc.

(Note: I do not work for the company, am solely a fan. Presently I have designs on 2 computers, 2 ipods, 1 iphone and a Mercedes Station Wagon).

I switched to Firefox a few weeks ago & notice that it crashes constantly. I also find the browsing speed to be slow, perhaps these adjustments will help.
