I am extremely pleased with this wine console. I'm not a fan of distressed finishes, but I took a chance on this because I liked the style, dimensions, marble top, etc. The finish is just slightly distressed, which adds character, but doesn't look at all like an old, beat up piece of furniture. I particularly like the contrast of the umber finish, dark posts, and black granite top. Very stylish and versatile.
I also am very pleased with the amount of wine I can store. It's designed to hold 18 bottles, 6 on each of the three racks. I thought I'd be able to stack an extra row of bottles on the top rack, but much to my surprise, I was able to stack an extra 5 bottles on top of each row, so it will hold 33 bottles with room to hang 8" tall glasses from the stemware rack. If you want to hang taller glasses, you can still store 28 bottles...11 on each of the bottom two racks and 6 on the top rack. That was an added bonus I hadn't expected!"..." Read more
