It comes equipped with telescope-style wooden shelves that can hold up to 54 wine bottles from 40-65F. Other luxury features include Temperature memory, Sabbath mode, Open-door or malfunction alarm, and lock.
We purchased this fridge primarily because of the telescoping drawers. The fridge took a little longer to arrive (~2 weeks) since it was shipped via freight. However, it was well packaged and arrived without any damage. Set up was very simple and straight forward since we are using this as a standalone unit and not as a built-in. One thing to note is that if you are using it as a standalone unit, it will be noticeably louder when the compressor is on. Not a huge deal because we knew this but just something to keep in mind. Also, it does cool down to temp quickly and holds it within 1-2 degrees of the set temp. We were able to get around 40-45 bottles in depending on how we arranged it. Larger bottles (champagne, pinot noir, Chardonnay, etc.) really only fit on the top shelf or the bottom of the unit.
The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the fridge arrived with one of the drawers poorly installed. If you look at the attached photo, you can see that the 3rd drawer down was installed crooked, resulting in bottles not being able to fit in the shelf below. This also caused issues with the drawer sliding on the rails as well. And because the railed are screwed into the side of the fridge, there was no way to adjust it ourselves without drilling another hole. Fortunately, Wayfair has incredible customer service and offered to replace the unit right away. The new one arrived within a week and works perfectly.. Alex. PA. Sat Feb 15 2020
