We like the design of this wine rack very much. Due to the heavy weight that it was going to hold, my husband decided to mount it on a stud, instead of just the drywall. He used a stud-finder, and while this limits your positioning choices somewhat, I think it was a good decision, because 8 bottles is a lot of weight and we didn't want the rack to come off the wall. As far as the rack itself, it looks very nice. The one thing that made me give it 4 stars is that it bends somewhat when you load it with wine bottles, so we try to even out the number of bottles on each side. The bending is not too bad, but enough to make you a little bit nervous.
