Thanks Marshall and Doug for feedback - all good input. I have limited space due to windows, doorways, etc. May have be some combination of all of the above

Thanks Randy. I've seen those displays - and similar which seat about 5 cups in circular rack. I was thinking something that could display more like a dozen cups. I'm wondering if the golf ball cases would actually work

Thanks Spiff. I was thinking I might be on my own with an international shipment - surely wouldn't be sending it for repairs at the rates I've seen. Something to chew on.
