This rack is simple and yet anchor it to the wall and it is very sturdy. It has a very clean look and is well constructed. If put up plumb and level it has the right amount of angle for the wine bottles to keep cork moist.

This is a very good wine rack. There is no instructions, but none are really necessary. It took me a second to figure out how the bottles would be placed on the rack (bottle stem in or out). By trying both ways, it is clear that bottle stems are face-out. The rack was easy to install and includes some mounting screws / anchors.

The only negative comment that I have is the bottles are very close together. Most people will find this advantageous-- fitting 60 bottles in the smallest space possible. The negative is that when adding and removing bottles, you can brush up (and move) the bottle above it. I installed the rack in an unfinished room in my basement. Without the wall behind it, I actually pushed a bottle through when adding a bottle. This is a minor concern which won't affect most people, but it is the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

Remarkably simple but functional. It was usable as soon as it is pulled out of the box, there is no need for assemblage. It does exactly what it has been designed to do at a reasonable price. You do need to anchor it to a wall for optimal stability.

I purchased four of the 60 bottle racks and four of the 40 bottle racks, for a total of 400 bottles. I straightened the feet of half of the racks and made a link to connect them together at the mid point so that one 60 bottle rack was stacked on top of another 60 bottle rack. I did the same for the 40 bottle racks. They were then screwed to the wall at all locations. To get the racks to fit tight vertically to each other I ground down the ends of the wire that protrudes along the vertical rails. The racks have a wirey appearance without wine bottles in the rack. But once you fill the rack they have a very elegant appearance. The cost was about $1/bottle. I received quotes for racks that were >$5/bottle. It took about a day+ to put this system together.

this is a good,basic storage rack. I connected two of these back to back to create a free standing 120 bottle rack in my basement. there is no "wow" factor but if you are looking for solid ,simple storage , this will work fine.

My wife and I make wine and I love this wine rack, it takes up very little space and holds 60 bottles. I enjoy it so much that I have purchased 2 of them. I searched around and Amazon had the best price and the quickest delivery.

Having just moved from a small apartment to a house, my wife and I were looking for a functional wine rack with good capacity and a good price to hold our wine collection. After much comparison shopping this wine rack fit the bill perfectly. In fact, we liked it so much that we bought another! Easy to install, very study once affixed to the wall, this is an excellent value given that most other wine racks hold fewer bottles at a steeper price. For people like us, who were looking to spend their money on the wine instead of what was holding it, this was the perfect choice. We couldn't be happier: now all we need to do is fill up the empty spaces in the rack!

This is a great wine rack for the price. While perhaps not as nice looking as the wooden ones, the price per bottle is drastically cheaper. Basically no assembly required unless you mount it to a wall, it's sturdy and looks fine. Mine is in our cellar so not really on display, and holds a lot of wine for the footprint. All bottles fit, including my thickest Burgundy style bottles, except for on the edge slots, where they're too fat. Rhone style bottles, however, fit there fine. I'll probably be buying another one soon, I got my first as an open box return for only $60, even if the second is full price, I'll have 120 bottle storage for a little more then $1/bottle. I'm very happy with that kind of value.

I already had a stand alone rack in my basement that held 36 bottles, and I need a lot more storage space. And after looking around this had the space and the cost was right. It was easy to install. It would probably stand by itself but I attached to the studs in a wall. By doing it that way it is as solid as a rock.

One point to mention is that it will hold standard size, 750 ml bottles. But the gap between each shelve is too small to handle the larger 1.5 liter bottles. I now use my first rack which has wider space between the shelves for the 1.5 liter bottles.

And this is definitely great wine rack for the storage space and price.

I ordered this wine rack to hold the wine we recently purchased in wine country. This was quite an investment so I wanted to make sure this was sturdy in our unfinished basement. We set up very quickly and is quite stable without attaching it to the wall. I feel comfortable this will not tip over. I'm pleased with this purchase and should I need another, not hesitate to buy it again.
