This stemware rack is great! It shipped quickly, came in great condition, and despite other reviews, we had no trouble mounting it. The stemware (all sorts--red wine balloons, white wine glasses, martini glasses, etc) fit well, and it looks great above our wine rack. As soon as the first one came and was mounted on the wall, we ordered a second one! Definitely worth the price!

I was shopping for a rack because the bases on my new Riedel wine glasses were too large for my old rack. I found this product, and despite it being more expensive than some metal racks sold by Amazon, I bought one.
The good news is, this rack will accommodate virtually any stemware with a base. The bad news is, the quality of this product isn't very good. It's basically a bunch of 7" long dowels inserted into a strip of unfinished wood. Even though the holes in the strip are uniformly spaced, the dowels aren't perfectly straight, which gives this rack a non-uniform appearance. At least the dowels seem firmly attached, so I don't worry too much about my glasses falling.
In summary, it does the job ... it will hold 4 Merlot or Cabernet Savignon glasses (but unfortunately only 4, despite its 20"+ length). But it looks like some kid's 8th grade wood shop project.

I can't really say much about it's function & durability. It seems extremely well made. The problem is we cannot use them, and unfortunately will have to return them. The spaces between the rods are too narrow for the wine glasses we would like to hang up. So check your stem diameter before ordering. These are exactly what we want........but wider. Would love to know where I can find the same thing but with wider spaces. I am giving it 4 stars because it is seems well made, nothing seems to be wrong with this product, just a sizing issue.

Somewhere out in cyberland is a person who reviewed this product and said that the original hardware did not hold and she lost all her stemware. Her tale of woe was appreciated because I was able to modify how I hung these to ensure the safety of my wine glasses. I screwed a 70 inch 1X2 wood furring strip into the wall studs of my dining room (4 screws total) then screwed 3 of the racks into furring strip with cabinet screws. I also modified picture hangers to cant the racks up slightly so that my glasses would never slip off because some of the dowels aren't perfectly straight. With this modifications, the racks are strong and lovely.

Good price. I spray painted the rack a flat black to match a wine rack over which the rack(s) would hang.

I am pleased with the racks. They were exactly what I was looking for to use over my small bar. They are well made and should last a long time. I did use longer screws to attach them. I thought the screws provided were too short.

The screws it comes with are too small for the wall anchors and when I was finished mounting it I could actually pull it out of the wall easily by hand. I don't recommend this product.

This purchase turned out better than expected. Our first one was a hit - so we purchased two more. They line the upper edge of a large window in our kitchen and let our wine glasses dry quickly.

Cheers,

good product for the value. Wish I would have thought to stain it before I hung it but that was my fault. Holds plenty of glasses - wine, margueritta and martini

This wine rack is not functional at all. When I installed it, it slopes therefore the wine glasses slip and fall off the rack. This product is a dissappointment. Plus the sticks that hold the wine glass is very loose and the wine rack is poorly made.
