Wine Racks

I'm a handyman and @ [$] I thought I could build this rack for less. Then I started considering my time and aggravation, etc., so I decided to buy this unit instead. What a good decision! [if I do say so, myself]. To all those other do-it-yourselfers out there: you can't build this as well for the same money. Screw holes are pre-drilled; plank ends are routed; the wood material is appropriate for the expected load.I do have a couple of construction quibbles. 1] There are wood cleats at the diagonal ends that are just stapled in place. That probably is sufficient because they're internally supported by the diagonal shelves, but I screwed 'em in anyway. 2] The top, bottom & middle horizontal planks are each pre-drilled for 3 screws but only 2 are provided. I also built a recessed pedestal of 1"x3" fir to keep the bottles off the floor but it's not necessary [see pic].The instructions are clear, assembly is simple and the pieces fit together easily. The wood is a stark natural white and I stained mine with MinWax Wood Finish Golden Oak 210B to give it a richer look but not too dark [see pics showing before/after and final built].I installed my bin in a closet with other wine bins and storage shelves but I think the final product looks good enough to be a piece of furniture you can live with. Securing the unit to the wall is a must and you might consider additional L-brackets near the base and installing the top ones [provided] inside the box [not above the box as instructed] just to hide them.I'm very happy with the increased storage capacity this rack gives me and the style of old world, time-tested diamond bins."..."  Read more

Given the description of this wine rack, the finish was a little different than I expected it to be. It was described as metal, which the structure is, but everything is covered with a plastic cover or coating, which was fine for the utility purposes for which I bought this unit. If you are looking for a wine rack to put away in a back room or basement, this is a great choice. The construction of the rack is excellent and the display of the labels makes for easy selection."..."  Read more

My husband and I bought two of these wine racks and are absolutely thrilled with them. We assembled them in about 5 minutes and had them bolted to the wall in about 30. It wouldn't have taken that long if I'd bought the right screws in the first place. The only down side at all is that we thought the racks were "stand alone" and needed to be bolted for added stability. In fact, it's the bolting them to the wall that makes them stand upright. (That's the only reason I didn't score these with 5 stars). I will most definitely buy this rack again... just as soon as I need to store more than 300 bottles of wine!"..."  Read more

I was looking for a reasonably cheap (price) wine rack that could hold a lot of bottles. This is it. I read some of the other reviews, and I agree with the fact that the nails supllied are not adequate enough. I used wood screws which worked perfectly. I assembled the wine rack with no problem in my garage and then installed it with different hardware as well."..."  Read more
