Editorial Reviews
Product Description:
Introduced over 25 years ago, our geometrically proportioned wine racks have sold in the millions. They'll fit into virtually any space ??? and are infinitely expandable. Each wine rack kit comes packed with enough extra joining pins to allow you to add on another rack in the future and another... and another... as your wine collection grows. Precisely constructed of solid hardwood and put together like tinker toys, the pins seat so snugly into the octagonal beams that no glue is needed for assembly. Each bottle is securely cradled, even in earthquake country. Three finish options allow you to select a casual or more elegant look. Available in unfinished hardwood beams and pins (N); lacquered oak beams and pins (OK ??? pictured in circle); or Penguin - lacquered oak beams with black pins (PG). Specify choice N, OK, PG

Content: This was fun to put together. One problem was I found it difficult to create the number of wine bottle holders that were specified in the instructions. I was able to create 32, rather than 40. Operator error, maybe. Doesn't matter because I am very happy with the results. P.S. Use glue for strength!
Summary: Fun to put together

Content: I saw this years ago in a store and always planned to buy one. I don't understand why they are so hard to find, but glad I got one through amazon. Easy to assemble and fits any configuration.
Summary: Should be easier to find

Content:
After a tiring and protracted assembly process (more on that later) I felt a groundswell of excitement as I loaded on my most prized bottle - a 1998 vintage Dom Perignon.
Guess what?
The bottle is too fat. It doesn't fit.
I gulped as I grabbed the Perier Jouet. It made it, barely, by maybe an eighth of an inch. So did the various Pinots Noir and pretty much everything else until I hit my four bottles of Montebello Brut Metodo Classico. Once again, no go.
This shouldn't happen. A slightly more generous dimension on the connecting pegs and everything would fit. It's hard to understand that a product that's been around so long would suffer from this kind of a deficiency.
On the plus side, everything is well made, neatly packed, and the configurability of the system provides great flexibility.
But then again you have to put the thing together. I ordered three of these bad boys. Even with the application of optimized lean manufacturing methods, assembly was a several hour job requiring a rubber mallet (not included). My set up used 245 pegs. Since both ends of each peg need to be pounded in and an average of three mallet blows are needed to seat each end, this means that I swung the hammer no less than 1470 times in the course of the job.
As I write this, I'm nursing a nasty case of tennis elbow.
Perhaps a Scotch will dull the pain...
