“First time I have ever ordered from Facebook feed. Very easy. Happy with product.”Steve Butler · 8 August 2026
Grips a rocks glass, a martini's narrow base, or a can with nothing to hold onto — and settles in on the chair arm, the rail, the high-top, or the grass, wherever the party ends up.

Will your glass fit — rocks, martini, or can? A sticky note answers it, before the party starts ↓
You've lived this
Five moments from a party you've already been to.
One hand's already full of an appetizer, so the drink gets set down wherever there's an open inch on the crowded high-top — not chosen, just found, inches from someone else's glass.
Still dripping, you set the can down on the sloped coping to towel off, and it's already crept an inch toward the water by the time you reach back for it.
A rocks glass set low in the grass near a lawn chair disappears the second the sun's down — invisible at ankle height until someone's foot finds it first.
The drink goes on the slatted armrest because that's what the chair gives you, and it tips a little whenever you shift — one more faint ring added to an arm that already has a summer's worth.
The can rests on the narrow cap while you talk with your hands, and the next gesture is the one that sends it over the edge.
The desk-drawer test
The fit test takes ten seconds at the bar cart.
lands in here
A square sticky note: 3 inches, exactly — same as the widest base that settles in.
The standard square is exactly 3 inches on a side — a fact about sticky notes, and it happens to land right on the widest base that settles in.
A rocks glass, a coupe, a highball, even the can straight out of the cooler — set the base down on the square, not the rim. The flare of a martini bowl or a Collins glass doesn't matter; only what actually touches the note does.
Base sits inside the square? It fits. Hangs over an edge? Too wide. Sitting like a tiny island in the middle — under 2 inches? Too narrow to grip.
No ruler at the bar cart, no guessing between the martini glasses and the rocks glasses before the party starts — one sticky note, one glance, with whatever's actually in your hand.
Sizing it up
The bottom inch decides what stays in rotation.
The rule is one line: a container base 2 to 3 inches across settles in. Every verdict below follows from it — glass, can, or copper, whatever's in rotation at the bar cart.
- Rocks / old-fashioned glass fits
- Highball / Collins glass fits
- Coupe glass fits
- Martini / cocktail glass (V-shaped) too narrow
- Moscow mule mug, handled handle in the way
- Standard 12 oz can fits
- Slim seltzer / RTD can fits
- Stanley 40 oz H2.0 FlowState Quencher go-cup fits
- Stemless wine glass fits
- Pint glass fits
There's a floor as well as a ceiling — under 2 inches, including a martini's narrow base, the grip goes loose. The Moscow mule mug is the honest exception the same way any handled mug is: the base would settle in fine, but the handle sits exactly where a fin needs to close.

What it does
Three reasons it earns the invite.
Grips whatever shape you're holding
A martini's narrow base, a rocks glass's heavy bottom, a can with nothing to grab once it's open — the fins flex around each shape and grip the bottom inch, so a top-heavy glass settles in instead of teetering above it.
Travels with the party, not the furniture
It isn't clamped to one chair's arm or screwed into one railing's width — it sits on top of whatever's nearest, so it moves from the chair to the rail to the high-top exactly when you do, instead of staying behind.
Sits fine wherever the party lands
Slatted armrest, rounded rail cap, damp pool tile, uneven grass — hard or soft, wet or dry, the wide, low base holds its footing on each one instead of needing a flat tabletop that isn't usually on offer at a party.
Why more than one
Two identical rocks glasses. Whose is whose.
By the second round, half the glasses on the high-top look the same — same rocks glass, same amber pour, same citrus twist. Pick up the wrong one and you're either drinking a stranger's watered-down leftover or working the crowd trying to find yours.
Build your set
Give everyone their own.
Pick a pack, then give each one a color — so nobody has to ask which drink is theirs.
From the reviews
What buyers say.
Recent reviews of the Steadi, from every room and rig it lives in.
I have a tendency to spill my drinks and have two cats. This is one of the best things I’ve ever impulse bought. It works. It actually works. It’s a heavy, wide enough base that it is actually stable. My “spot” in the living room is near a somewhat-cushioned fabric ottoman, which is where I usually put my drinks. It’s

Fair questions
You're probably thinking…
It's injection molded, not cheap-stamped — molded about three and a half miles from the shop in Orange, California. Real photography, not a render, and 90 days to prove it before you're stuck with it.
Honestly, yes — a martini's narrow base is too thin for the fins to grip. But the sticky-note test shows the ones that do settle in: rocks glass, coupe, highball, can. Admitting the one miss is the point.
The colors are named for the bar cart, not a hardware aisle — Mojito Mint, Sunset Spritz, Blue Lagoon — shown styled next to a shaker and cut limes, not floating alone on white like an Amazon listing.
Coasters stay put on one table. This moves with you — chair arm to rail to pool deck to lawn in the same evening — which nothing bolted or clipped on can do.
A direct hit still wins — no gadget stops that. What it's actually built for is the shifted knee, the passing elbow, the gust off the pool: the nudges that happen fifty times a party. It resists tipping from those; it settles back instead of going over.
What you've tried
Every party surface already has its own gadget — and its own limit.
| A clip-on drink rail | The Cocktail Cup Holder | |
|---|---|---|
| Matching your railing's width | Sized for one rail — wrong width, no fit | No rail to match — sits on anything |
| Once it's actually mounted | Clamped on, doesn't budge once it's set | Rests on top, holds steady, unbolted |
| Setting it up before the party | Screws or clamps — a real install | Down in a second, nothing to attach |
| The chair arm, no rail in reach | Nothing to clip onto — wrong tool here | Sits on the slatted arm just the same |
| The high-top at cocktail hour | No rail on a table — doesn't apply | Sets down on the tabletop, holds its footing |
| When the party moves on | Stays behind, bolted to the rail it came with | Comes along, settles in on tile or grass too |
| Cost | Hardware plus install, another purchase to justify | One small piece, ready out of the box |
Solves the slope of one specific armrest, semi-permanently attached to that one chair — it doesn't come along when the party drifts to the rail, the pool deck, or the high-top later in the evening.
Each design only fits one railing width and profile, and it's mounted hardware, not something a guest carries. Step away from the rail to the lawn or the pool and it's solved nothing.
Only works while it's actually in the water — useless on the deck, the lawn, or the high-top — and reviewers report it still flips the can the moment someone pushes off the wall.
Built to survive being dropped or stepped on, not to stay upright once it's set down — most designs add a thumb notch for holding it in-hand, not a wider base for setting it on grass or a sloped rail.
Good to know
Asked at the bar cart, answered here.
Will it actually hold on a chair armrest or a porch rail?
That's the point of the wide, low base — it spreads across a slatted armrest or grips onto a rounded rail instead of needing one true flat plane. Push it off level and it holds steady instead of tipping.
What about a martini glass — isn't the whole shape unstable?
That's the shape's honest weak point: a narrow base under a wide bowl. The fins grip in low, around that narrow base, instead of higher up where the glass is top-heavy — it won't turn a martini into a rocks glass, but it resists tipping a lot better than the tabletop alone does.
Will my tumbler or go-cup fit?
Measure the base, not the rim. A base 2 to 3 inches across settles in — the 40 oz Stanley does. A Moscow mule mug's base would settle in fine on its own; it's the handle that doesn't, sitting exactly where a fin needs to grip, so mugs with handles are the honest exception.
Does it clip onto the chair, the railing, or the table?
No — nothing clamps, clips, or screws in anywhere. It sits on top of whatever surface is nearest, so it travels from the armrest to the rail to the high-top exactly when you do.
Which of these surfaces does it actually work on?
All of them in the same evening — that's the design brief. Slatted wood, a rounded rail, tile by the pool, bare grass: hard or soft, the wide base holds its footing on each one instead of needing a flat tabletop.
Can I set it on the pool deck, or float it in the water?
It's built for the deck and the coping beside the pool, not for floating — set it on the hard surface at the edge and the wide base grips there instead of sliding toward the water. It doesn't float, so keep it out of the pool itself.
What about the grass — will it just sink in and tip anyway?
The wide base spreads its weight instead of concentrating it under one narrow point, so it doesn't sink into turf the way a rocks glass or a stemmed coupe does on its own. It holds steady on lawn the same way it does on the deck or the rail.
How do I clean it after a night of spilled garnish and muddler mess?
Rinse it, wipe it down, or put it in the dishwasher. It's one piece of flexible material with nothing to unscrew or take apart, so citrus and sugar don't have anywhere to hide.
