will I be able to use this as a ottoman tray before it has been filled with corks? I only have about 20 corks right now...just starting collecting

Yes you could use it prior to putting the corks in. You could even keep the glass in it as it comes out and can be cleaned as needed. You could even put some colored paper between the tray and the glass to dress it up a bit!

I suppose you could but you would want to put something under the glass or I don't think it would look right and be sure to check the measurements so the tray is large enough for your look.

Yes you could put some cute paper under the glass or take the glass our completely until you're ready to put the corks in!

Oh yes....my daughter used it "empty" while collecting the corks to finally fill it: she kept checking when to GLUE! when finally enough, she committed to glue them in :)

I'd believe you can. It is just a little deeper before you put corks in and it has the handles for carrying.

It appears that they can though they nestle together better when stacked the horizontal direction. However, you can secure the vertical stackings of one on top of the other with one wine cork. (start saving some) There's a hole in each crate to insert the cork to connect them together for some stability. With extreme height...guessing 6 ft ish, you may have some issues with it's stability so you may want some sort of side support so they don't topple over to the side. I'm no engineer, but those are my thoughts. The company may offer a more exact opinion. Good luck!

Don't know about storage cube, but I don't see why not, especially if you see what your looking for. However, the ottoman is beautiful to look at, soft and comfy to sit on and stores sheet sets (and I would guess anything you can think of, as long as you check out the inside dimensions of ottoman) wonderfully. Also had mine over a year and still looks new.

I measured one of mine: 5/8 inch diameter at bottom to a little less than 3/4 inch diameter at top by 1 3/8 inches long. The one I measured also is not perfect--its straight up and down on one side, angled on the other if you can visualize that. Still works as a cork. Hope this is the info you were looking for.

No...it is just one ottoman, but the top is reversible...you can use it as ottoman top or a table or serving tray. I really love mine!

I have found it to be a very "functional" way to store good wines compactly. I keep mine in a closet when it is slightly cooler than the remainder of the house. I stress "functional" because it is made (nicely) of soft pine and not finished (no paint, stain, varnish) and does not really stand alone as a piece of decorative quality furniture except perhaps in a casual or rustic rustic room. It is probably more suitable for painting than staining. However, it is much nice than some of the things my wife and I called furniture in our post college days long long ago. I hope that helps . . . salud y amor y tiempo para disfrutarlo! I have found it to be a very "functional" way to store good wines compactly.

Reading previous responses you would need to put it between your legs or knees, while sitting to pop the cork out

Suggest you contact Oxo, and in the meantime, any cork would do. Corks are usually available in various sizes at hardware and craft stores. A plug of plastic wrap also would work.

No --this is just l size and also the lid has two hinges on it.I would advise against a tray anyway as it wouldn't be very clean so this is simply a nice ottoman which holds toys,blankets or whatever.

I had the same experience as the other responses here - it's a cute addition, very soft texture, and a bean bag interior. It works great for me - I use it as an occasional foot rest and to accent a room's decor. For the price it's a decent deal, especially given what other ottomans go for, but I wouldn't plan on using it for much more than something to lightly rest your feet on (I don't know how it would hold up as a seat, for instance.) Good luck!

The floor space is large enough for 4 bottles, but the height is too short (my bottles are about 1/2" too tall). I could get two bottles by tilting them. But it's a moot question now as my fridge quit cooling.

I believe these corks can be used for many things. My wife used some of our cork order to make a wine cork wreath which hangs in our kitchen. Of course, she used more of our used wine corks.

Hi Heidi, did you ever try this? I was wondering the same thing one doesn't seem to hold the corkboard....thanks

I have no idea. Might Google it? They certainly didn't suggest any such thing when recommending complementary items. Might try finding the right size cork stoppers?

I'm thinking that with corks being absorbent they will soak some up creating air bubbles...the amount depends on the size of the countertop...sounds like a nice idea but just be careful to work in a ventilated area

Depends on your skills. My wife has made quite a few framed art things out of the corks. She gets a lot of very good comments on the Art also.

I just counted...we have 41 in ours and it is not even half full. Champagne corks fit through the hole as well (we had a few of those in there). So, it should fit at least 80-90 wine corks at a time.
