I like the looks and possibility to combine more then one in line or block. The only surprise - doesnt fit bottles with tampered neck. They fit in, just not straight.
Smaller than I thought it would be. Probably really holds 10 or 11 bottles. The mounting hardware that's included is woefully inadequate to hold any kind of weight, but installed it with some beefy wood screws and some heavy-duty sheetrock anchors and all is well. Overall, this was just what we needed to store our wine in the pantry as we had zero shelf/floor space.
Looks nice and easy to install, however, be forewarned about bottle types. Each section can hold two of the SAME bottles and perhaps a 375ml as the third. Longer neck bottles just don't seem to fit right.
I agree with the other reviews. It is nice, but the screws that it came with are completely useless - you will have to buy new ones. I realize buying new screws is not expensive, but seems silly to buy something and then have to buy more things just to be able to use it.
Now that we have it up it looks nice on the wall; however, not all of the bottles rest properly.
After reading the reviews i wasn't gonna buy this item but it's been great as long as you know how to hang it (like any thing else you have to use your own dry wall screws that hold more weight) but we have 12 bottles on it right now and it's going strong, we never even considered using their hardware but not for any reason, just learned it from my brother. and it's super easy to put up, i am a small woman and i had no problem hanging it over head. so buy it if you like the look. it looks great in my house.
I love the style, but its flaw is that it only works well with Bordeaux style bottles. Any wine bottles that have more of a tapered neck, droop down. Unfortunately, it's heading back.

These work well although I wouldn't recommend using them unless they're going into a stud. I put them in dry wall and even though I used drywall anchors (used my own, the ones it came with are not sturdy enough and will not hold up long-term; advise using the butterfly drywall anchors instead) it doesn't seem the sturdiest. I think this product would be fine if directly screwed into studs, however outside of that it's a bit heavy for drywall. They do look nice though and hold the bottles well.
