For its price (purchased before its recent 37% price increase), this wine rack was a satisfactory purchase. What I was most disappointed with was that the rack was designed for a bottle body length of eight inches or less. Since most wine bottles are larger than eight inches, they will not snugly sit in their slot and will therefore be slightly angled from horizontal. Also, since the rack is only 11.5 inches deep, I'm hoping that stability on a carpet will not be a problem.

The rack is easy to assemble. I had to use a hammer to pound in the six dowels (there is not sufficient spacing to use a rubber mallet). Finally, I noticed that there were several small scratches that showed the underlying wood.

For the money, this is a very nice wine rack! It's not flawless. There's one piece of wood that had some glue marks and another where there's a bit of light wood showing through. These minor flaws are only viewable if you look closely & can't be seen from a distance. I am thrilled with the overall appearance!

The wine rack will easily hold 25 bottles. One thing I really like about it is that the odd-shaped bottles fit fine! It even holds half bottles well. I included a photo that shows mine about 80% full.

I purchased from Amazon, and it's currently offering the best price w/free shipping. At least four other stores on Amazon's site are selling this same wine rack. I recommend searching for "foldable wine rack" to check prices prior to purchasing.

FYI, the "product features" section of the description currently states that no assembly is required. That's not quite true. There is some minor assembly & a hammer is needed. I'm lousy at putting things together, and it took me about 10 minutes. The wine rack is stackable, but you'd definitely want to secure it to the wall. Hardware for stacking is included, but dry wall screws are not.

If you are looking for a basic wine rack that is not bad looking, this is a good one. I just received it and will works fine for my needs. Easy to assemble. Will get one for another location. Remember that it is not a "high end" rack, but if you are looking for a 25 bottle rack it should meet your needs.

I like the rack, good looking and does the job. One concern is there is no way to rack the long skinny bottles of wine, they fall thru the gap. I can live with that. Where they came up short for me was in the fit and finish on self assembly. No matter how I assemble, there are gaps on the fit and finish of the side walls to the shelves. For the money, still a good buy.

I'd give this zero stars if I could. First of all, I thought this was set up similar to the bookshelves that fold up and require no assembly. However, for this little gem, some "assembly" is required. You have to hammer in dowels to hold 3 of the 5 shelves. When I started pounding in the dowels, the rack started coming apart. After pounding it back together, it wouldn't hold. I was not about to trust that it would hold multiple bottlles of wine. It is going back. I don't believe you have to spend a fortune on a wine rack that is going to be in a closet, but this isn't that wine rack.

You get what you pay for. It might not be the best made rack in the world, but when loaded up it holds the bottles just fine. That's all I wanted. Buy this if you are looking for a quick fix. If you want something long term then look somewhere else and pay a bit more for it.

The dowels are not uniform in shape and all of them did not fit into the slots. With a little elbow grease they fit in but in doing so the screws came out of the "built in" shelves, the unit came apart and the wood surrounding the screws cracked. Therefore, the whole unit was not secured together anymore. I recommend not buying this unit. It is not worthy of any amount of money.

The hinges were installed crooked, the dowels don't fit, and the bottom is uneven. The picture makes it look like it has a little style. But, it doesn't. It is not worth the $40, it is not work $20.

I have bought several of these racks in the past from a different source and, I am sorry to say, I paid twice the amount.

This wine rack is junk, don't buy it. Nothing lines up or fits like it is supposed to.
