“Exactly what we wanted a credenza that holds wine and looks great. People are stunned to learn it holds wine. Looks great in our log cabin.”

“I have vacillated between a 3-4 rating and ultimately decided that there were too many questionable items to justify a higher than “average” rating. We’ve owned the credenza for approximately 3 months allowing sufficient time to truly evaluate it rather than quickly judge. The good: 1. This is a very heavy, solid piece of furniture with interesting details that provide a focal point to a room. 2. Delivery was quick and efficient. Be sure to commit to where you want it located as it is very heavy to move. 3. The parquet features one the doors lend themselves to unique design details. We have one piece that appears damaged, but it is really just the unique nature of the wood. We like the look, but I suspect others may see this as a negative. 4. The wine fridges seem to hold their respective temps well. I use one for whites and the other for reds. I haven’t tested the thermostats with an independent thermometer, but the units are definitely holding at the varying temps. The challenging: 1. As others have shared in their reviews, the quality of the shelves within the wine fridge is awful. The wood is lightweight almost a balsa texture and weight. I own a 166-bottle upright purchased from Wine Enthusiast that has very solid, professional quality wood components. Frankly, these are very disappointing. Again as others have shared, the third shelf is very prone to falling out of the cooler if pulled too far. 2. We have the unit with two wine fridges on either side. It is the focal point of our living room with a wall mounted TV above, thus the noise level is minimal given the other ambient noise in the room. However, on occasion I can hear the motor and liquid circulating through the unit when sitting in a chair next to the credenza. 3. The fit of the four panel doors on the front of the unit are not the best. I had to adjust the two center doors to allow the “soft close” feature to work property. No big deal, but the doors on the wine fridges are integrated into the wine unit and can’t be adjusted. They both slightly rub when opened. Not to the extent that they damage the doors at all, but the fit and finish is not what I would expect for the price of the credenza.”

“The oak look is really nice and the individual compartments that allow you to adjust temperature are really good. When it arrives, remember to let it sit for more than 24 hours to allow the refrigeration units and everything to acclimate to the orientation sitting flat again because of those things getting moved around a lot during transport. It’s a little difficult to store magnums even in the lower section unless you fit them in just right but beyond that size it’s really storage unit for bottles primarily.”

“The cabinet itself is a wonderful texture of wood. Just what I was hoping for. The refrigerated wine coolers have shelves made of a thin wood. I would prefer a metal rack for strength and looks. The delivery and setup went smooth. Overall very happy with the product.”

“We ordered this beautiful Credenza -with four coolers (!)- in mid-August and received it three weeks later. The delivery was great -you can track it online step by step- and it was placed right where we wanted it in our living room, whereas all packaging was taken care of as well. It is as beautiful and well-made as advertised. 100% satisfied with that. The only drawback is the wooden shelves, which are a bit flimsy but it's nothing major. All types of bottles fit, except for Champagne. We needed to remove a shelf to make those fit. But that's also a non-issue. The shelves won't lock when pulling them out, so be careful when pulling as the bottles could drop. Each cooling unit fits 20 bottles: 4x4 on the shelves, and 4 at the bottom. Some reviews mentioned “funny percolating sounds when cooling”, “the chillers are extremely loud,” “inconsistency in the cooling units at maintaining the temps,” and “the thermostats are not as accurate as they should be.” However, after a week we have not noticed any of this. We have four (!) units and they are barely audible. The coolers are easy to program, keep their temperatures well, and are within +/-3 degrees F, which is fully acceptable in our opinion. Overall, it is a stunning piece, and the few exceptions are minor compared to the overall. We were also happy with the whole process, ordering, delivery, and the way it works!”

“The cabinet looks beautiful. However, the wooden shelves in the wine refrigerator look cheap, easily breakable and are difficult to slide in and out. These should definitely be changed to more substantial shelves!! This also applies to the beverage center The lower basket does not move making it difficult to get beverages in and out.”
