Anyone have this and do you like it? Does it hold bigger size cups-glasses &/or water bottles, like the 64oz ones? And can you use small trash liners/bags in them, or do you have to use the CM ones?
I have never seen this item in person, just on the web. It looks so useful, especially since I knock over my waterbottle like every other reach!! lol I do not know of any CM demos around here, and the one demo that I did get contacted with thru CM's website, blew me off like dust :mad:. Ebay has tons of them, but I dont really wanna go that route if I dont have to. I want to have some opinions on it before I buy it without seeing it, KWIM? THANKS for your help!!!
I love mine. It comes with bags and I just reuse them, but it will fit almost anything. I have even used a walmart bag before. as for fitting cups, I can fit my venti caramel frapachino with plenty of room ;) . Water bottles and such fit, I just don't know how big you can go before it won't fit.
I found that I use mine as an embossing gun holder most of the time! It is great and I just reuse the bags that came with it. Well worth the effort to get one.
I have one and I would buy another. I just keep reusing the same bag. I believe you get 3 when you buy it but I am still on the first one even after two years. Their is another brand on the market and it hold larger cups and you just use regular shopping bags. I have that one too but can't think what brand it is. I got it from my scrapbook store that was changing their tabels and they no longer fit. I like the bigger one but I still use my CM one. It is on my desk and my DH uses it a lot!

CM side kick
Well hi there...I have one and I tryly like it it will hold a mug with a side handle probablt 24 -0 30 ounce I have never used another bag I just use the one...but I have a larger garbage can under my table...I think it was a good investment...there are other brands too...not sure of the exact differences... SoniB
I have to say, the sidekick is the ONLY thing my husband's ever taken out of my crafting area and refused to give back. He has one on his computer desk, I have one on mine, and I had to buy a third to have one at my scrap table! LOVE it. (You don't have to use the trash/scrap bag attachment, just FYI.)
I love mine and have tried to figure out if any of my friends who are good with metal work could make me some for workshops. I really don't want to promote an item from another company, but must say drinks on the tables make me nervouse during workshops. It's also great for sewing. I love being able to just put my scrap string or scraps of fabric in the bag and keep on going.
It is Chatterbox and I purchased it at Recollections. The cup holder is 4 1/4 inches diameter with opening to accomodate a handle. I use plastic grocery bags with it. I think it was $15.00, and for sure not more than $20.00.
I have two on my stamping table. I dont put "wet" trash in the bags, only bits of paper and rubber scraps. I have had the same bag on for almost two years. I love them and anyone who sits at my table tells me that they want to buy one too. When I get a bigger house with room to leave long tables set up, I will buy one for each station.
The Chatterbox one is MUCH nicer than the CM one. The Chatterbox one will also hold a HUGE water mug-type cup that you can also buy. The CM one will only hold a water bottle size mug. I do have the CM one and regret not buying the Chatterbox one :(
