These cubes are sturdy and easy to assemble. They won't be mistaken for fine furniture but dramatically reduce the clutter of bottles held for near-term consumption. There are better options for long term storage, when wine needs cool temperatures and no light, but these work very well for adding wine racking to a closet, den or spare room. The cube only holds 24 bottles if all the bottles are standard 750ml size. For oversized bottles like Champagne or the heavy glass favored by boutique wineries, figure on only getting five, or even four bottles in each quadrant.
