Once assembled, the walnut stain version of the 12 bottle cube rack is really very attractive, and very stable/solid. Assemblying the rack (I did 4 of them) is more time consuming than initially considered. Variable quality from one rack kit to another, some pieces supplied pre-nailed has come appart in shipment. Easily fixed, however.
Major hassle with dowel pins supplied, they are slightly oversize, making installation difficult. I tapered them at both ends, using sand paper, then tapped them in with a small hammer. Some minor alighnment problems, specific to each rack, but the end results have been 4 very good looking racks which easily support the 12 bottles.

This is not the easiest thing to assemble, but it really isn't very different from many other furniture kits in that characteristic. I believe the assembly diagram that comes with it has some minor errors in terms of the orientation of a couple of the pieces (specifically C and E), so I would advise you to look over the entire procedure BEFORE assembling anything. If you do that, it will be obvious as to how C and E must be oriented. Once you have put one together, it is a lot easier to put together subsequent units. The end product is very sturdy. While it won't be confused with fine furniture, it looks OK; in fact, it looks fine if you don't get too close to it. I'm using them on an open bottom shelf of a unit I have, and they look great there. Personally, I think they are a bit overpriced for what you get,[...]My advice on the back is to ignore the holes on the unit. It isn't that difficult to drive a screw into those pieces of wood and you really don't need the little "dots" they've put on the unit for that purpose anyway. I think you should put the back on because it adds additional stability to the unit. Although I'm not stacking mine, it looks like they would stack well because of a male/female arrangement on the top/bottom of the units. I like the way way they hold the bottles. Overall, I am satisfied with them.

Although this product looks nice in the end, the quality is not worth the cost and time to assemble. Directions are vague and holes in wood do not always match up, making it easy to break the wood.

The product was poorly made, the pieces were off by 3/8 inch making it impossible to assemble. Looked great in the picture though,and the return process was very easy.

Comments about 12 Bottle Cube-Stack Wine Rack (Natural Finish):
"some" assembly was "a lot" of assembly. Pre-drilled holes weren't drilled and the wood would split if you screwed it tight. Functional...still use it, but it is kept in a storage area, not out on display.

Comments about 12 Bottle Cube-Stack Wine Rack (Walnut Stain):
Doesn't fit together squarely. There are gaps where the racks fit into the frame and should be flush.. Having a lot of trouble getting one of the screws to go into the racks.

Comments about 12 Bottle Cube-Stack Wine Rack (Walnut Stain):
Much more assembly required than expected, not worth the price for the work needed.
Complex arrangement of pre-drilled holes were wrong size, wrong location, or missing entirely. Without a background in woodworking to make up for the poor work at the factory, we would not have gotten this together at all. We could use more of these in the space we have, but for the work required I'll build my own before buying this again.

I would not have ordered IF I would have seen how complicated the assembly was. One down and two to go! NO Written instuctions just pictures and they are FAIR at that. Would have been nice had someone said what the A, B, C, Etc were like top, bottom, side!!!!!
