Customer Reviews

Just what it looks like
I didn't need anything except a rubber mallet to put this together. I didn't glue it, since I wasn't sure of the configuration I would prefer. I gave it a "step down" effect, which turned out just right. It's sturdy and unobtrusive. I bet I add more to it later on.

Assembles easily into 'diamond' pattern vs. square shown
Even though the pictures (and the assembly instructions) don't depict it, this kit assembles quite easily such that the openings are in a diamond shape vs. square (turn your head 45 degrees while looking at the picture and you will get the idea).

Using a hammer, I assembled two '12 bottle' sets together in this manner, without wood glue or additional fastening, and it sits solidly on my bar, and looks much better in my view.

There are slight downsides though -- you do lose about one bottle capacity assembled this way -- e.g., I can rack 22 bottles vs. 24 had I used the square configuration (this is true because rack sits on a series of trianges must be subtracted from total capacity)
The second downside is that the bottle does not sit firmly cradled between the flat spots of two thick dowels, as it does in the square configuration. Assembled with a diamond opening, it sits on the flat spot of one dowel only, and the bottle either rolls slightly to the left or right, but is still firmly enclosed in its space. No risk of the bottle slipping out or through, it is purely an aesthetic objection, and hardly noticeable. (and I am really picky about such things)

If I have time, I will take a picture and post for others to see. This

High Quality, Easy to Assemble overall Excellent
I purchased two of these to add to the larger one of the same brand that was given to me a a gift.
J.K. Adams wine racks fit together well and are very stable after assembly. Unlike some others, the rack accomodates odd-shaped bottles. As a plus it's easily expandable. I highly recommend it.
