Funny story..
My dear husband was at work and a colleague asked, "What kind of china do you own?" Without taking a breath she followed with this: "Excuse me. You're a gay couple. HOW MANY china sets do you own?" ... Ain't it the truth.. Anyway, we own china (primarily Rosenthal, though it doesn't matter), in the hundreds of pieces. I want to store the bulk of it intelligently - in the basement. Currently we use clear bins, newspaper and foam etc, but I think there must be better ways. I went to a popular container-type store yesterday and I could only find floppy vinyl sacks. We DO use those in some instances but I am hoping to find a rigid, durable, smart china storage mechanism. I'm looking for ideas. Anyone got any? Best wishes! |

Check out the moving supplies at Menard's. They usually have a good selection of cartons, and accessories including the dish pack kit. I've found their prices to be far less than U-Haul, Public Storage and such places. I've also found good prices at shipping supply distributors when buying in bulk. |

Your packing trick using styrofoam plates is very clever. I’ve written it on my shopping list just now.
I will also follow your shipping trick. One set of decommissioned china is going to my niece in Texas. I’m sure she’ll drive them back and I will certainly follow your advice to ensure they’re as safe as can be. Thanks much! |
