“No wall connection hardware that would be used to prevent tip over. Some predrilled holes for metal cross support in back were missing.Larger 750ml bottles will crowd eachother specificly along left side - they touch and cannot use all slot if all bottles in row are larger.Unit holds splits/half bottles without falling through slots - good for me. Very solid and sturdy when assembled.”

“I had read the reviews before buying and was concerned abt. commments that they are hard to erect and about limitation on bottle size, but the comments did not have details. I bought 6 for use on one side of a new cellar, and I would then decide after erecting them if could use more. I now will buy three more, but not 6. I am making my own racks to hold larger wine bottles.1. This rack holds 3.25" inch bottles side-by-side with no difficulty. Bordeaux/Cab bottles are 3.00. Most Pinot and Syrah bottles are 3.00 or 3.25, and also fit nicely. Many newer "better" Pinots and Syrahs, however, are larger (some up to 3.5") and they will not fit unless you alternate them side-by-side with 3.00" bottles. (Turley will not fit at all, unless you leave every other slot empty.)2. I was pleasantly surprised to find that when erecting 2 racks side-by-side, you make double use of the middle upright. Thus, one rack is 35" wide, but 2 racks are only 67" wide, and each additional rack adds only another 32". I wish this info had been in catalogue and/or website so I knew it before I bought my racks; I would have laid out my cellar much differently.3. Many people commented that the racks were hard to assemble. Getting the first (bottom) shelf bolted into four loose uprights was awkward and using two people would have helped. After that, however, it was pretty easy. (Trick: Do not tighten the grommets very much until all horizontal racks are in, then go back, check for plmb and tighten them. Also, instructions suggest waiting a week and then tightening them again. Good idea. Several needed a full turn or so to be tight again.)4. Mine are very sturdy because I left off the back cross-brace supports and bolted the tops into studs with lag bolts. Cannot speak to free-standing application.5. Person at WE told me that they could be used as double depth racks. They COULD, but I would not recommend it. The grommets stick out a little in front of the uprights, and thus you cannot get the front upright of the back rack and the back upright of the front rack flush -- so they would not secured together without a lot of work and they would not look well.”

“I use this in my wine cellar. I ordered one to try and then ordered a second one. Assembly was easy, but you have to read the instructions carefully. Pinot noir bottles fit if you reverse every other one. The unit is very sturdy.”

“Wanted a sturdy wine rack that offered value and quality. This rack is excellent. Took a while to stain and put on two coats of polyurethane, but the finished rack was outstanding and worth the time. Passed over numerous other poorer quality racks. Totally delighted with this design.”

“I have been hestitating about purchasing a rack. I broke down after joining a wine club and purchased this rack. It was a little difficult to assembly. You need two people to hold the the first few shelves in place this will assit you greatly in getting you started. Some of the keys didn't tighten and after assembly you cannot really remove and insert new one. Overall.... it looks great and feels very secure. The materials especially the wood was a higher quality then i expected.”

“The wine racks look great in our new wine cellar! I like the way you can connect multiple shelves together or leave them as separate racks. Very easy to assemble!”
