When it comes to optimum wine storage that is likewise affordable, you can't get a better product that Wine Enthusiast's 5 Column Individual from our Designer Wine Rack Kit. This elegant 72"H x 23-3/16"W x 13-1/2"D racking system can house up to 100 bottles in beveled rails and eased edges that make for highly secure storage. The wine rack is crafted from choice wood selections that exude both quality and great amount of style making it a prized addition to your wine cellar. Each rack can be customized to suit the design of your wine cellar with the help of our assortment of stain options and finishes. Assembling the rack is also not much of an issue unless of course, you're a complete novice at the same. We highly recommend using a brad nailer AND having someone to assist you especially if you're a neophyte in the wine racking assembly business. The 5 Column Individual hits the market at [$] which is indeed, one of the best buys you can make!

I agree with the other reviews that this unit is very difficult to assemble. Some directions would have been helpful. Cross pieces split when attached. Once it was finished it's great, but the process was not fun.

The racks come with finishing nails and there are two problems. One is that the directions do not tell you to predrill holes or every one of the nails will bend. Also, as you hammer some of the nails in, they will not penetrate the second piece of wood that you are attaching to because there is no support from below. You will need to work out a system using other materials to give enough support to the bottom sides as you nail or you will become as frustrated as I did trying to assemble this. Finally, do not expect that these will stand on their own without attaching them with a wall bracket (included). It is rather unattractive but necessary. I plan to look around for a more attractive option. On the good side, they are attractive (I ordered the mahogony) and do have a large capacity. Once you get past the issues that I discribed above, then the assembly is not too difficult. It seems that the manufacturer should explain the pre-drilling issue and also provide a piece of wood at the right width which could alieviate the problem of the bottom support as you nail, but alas they do not.

Best Uses

Need to be careful assembling the unit. Some of the wood started spliting when the screws we put in, even with pilot holes drilled. Need to people to assemble since you have to line up the parts. There are no pre-drilled holes or alignment guides/notches. Stable once assembled.

Big Disappointment

We had purchased what we thought were the same racks 3 years ago. Apparently this is a new supplier. The rack is flimsy and the wood split easily during installation. Would not re-order.
