Reviews
I lack a lot of under-cabinet space to mount hanging stemware racks and also don't have a lot of counter space for storing bottles properly on their sides. Searching for wine/glass storage opportunities proved to be somewhat difficult since I needed a tandem combo that wasn't too large and wouldn't pull down the kitchen wall. This one looked pretty good and not as heavy as some of the wrought iron pieces I was finding.
Installation may look tricky at first, but there are easy shortcuts. There are 4 components to the product: the metal brackets that attach to the wall, metal rods that screw into the brackets to support the rack, the wooden rack, and a metal apparatus on top for securing bottles. I attached one bracket at the height I wanted, then assembled the rack and raised the opposite side until it was level. I then drilled the pilot hole for my wallboard bracket and voila! I was done installing in about 5 minutes.
I was a bit worried at first because the setup seems kinda flimsy -- you have a metal plate on the wall with a metal rod that screws into it to support the rack. All that is holding the rack up is a 1/2 inch metal rod. I was anticipating the rod would bend easily with time. However, it has held up pretty well (1 year out now).
I give the product 4 stars because while it is aesthetically unassuming and does a small-time oenophile well, it has one or two flaws. The first is that the rack pitches downward very slightly. Maybe only 2 degrees or so, but enough to make an OCD person like myself a little anxious. Also the metal apparatus on top is not secured to the rack -- it just sits on top. The weight of the bottles holds it in place, but again, it's unnerving.
