Metal Bar Strap

I wish that there were wooden dowels for both above AND below each level of the wine rack.

Wine rack came out beautiful. I ordered a 10 x18 hole rack, black. I put this rack in a custom frame. Worked out very well. My wife and I put the rack together. Once we got a method going, it came together just fine.

This wine rack is beautifully crafted and looks modern and amazing in my apartment! The rack is sturdy and durable.

For the price, there is nothing available on the market with this capacity, so worth the buy!

Pretty simple and straightforward to put together, but very time consuming and slightly frustrating, if you're doing it alone. I honestly would recommend paying to have it pre-assembled.

As advertised!

Bought the Timber wine rack to fit in an alcove in my basement under the fireplace. The fit was perfect, and I have loaded it up with reds and whites that need to be cool but not necessarily kept in a wine fridge for long-term aging. I ordered mine unassembled, and I was careful when I did assemble it. This wine rack is best assembled on a hard surface like a basement floor. They provide an extra piece of wood (square dowel rod), which was beneficial, as one of the other ones in the kit was not cross cut at one end (necessary for assembly) -the extra piece made it a non-issue. The trickiest part is assembling the second set of metal strips (dowels already attached to metal strips at the bottom, and now the second set needs attaching). I appreciate that they sent two extra metal strips in case I made a mistake and bent one out of shape. Didn’t need it, because I went nice and slow, and I gently used the mallet to tap them in place, going over the structure in cycles to slowly tap them in place. Once assembled, the wine rack was slightly askew, but once I situated it and loaded it with wine, the weight of the bottles caused everything straightened out. The rack comes with plastic protectors that one can clip onto the metal strips, but I didn’t use these, as I have many Pinots, GSMs and Chardonnays that just exactly fit (but would cause the plastic pieces to pop off above). Don’t think I need them, but I have kept them for potential future use. All told, it took me a couple hours to assemble, and that is just fine by me. In the end I now have a nice, sturdy wine rack that I feel has little risk of ever tipping over. I bought it for the generous spacing and appreciate that it holds my wide-bottom bottles so well. I definitely recommend this wine rack, and I expect it to last for years without fail.
