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

We were searching for an inexpensive wine rack to keep down in our basement that would securely hold the 18 bottles of wine we shipped back from our recent trip to the Chianti region in Italy. We are not wine enthusiasts, but just wine appreciators and this rack perfectly matches our needs. The rack is flexible in that it can grow with our collection."..."  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

What ever you do !!!!! Use nails in EVERY spot AND!!!!! Use wood glue . Directions are poor at best and they should recommend use use wood glue. I didn't on the first rack did on the second plus added nails to all cross locations and the difference is huge in stability strength all around."..."  Read more
