Stylish, strong, and affordable
I ordered the PEKER wine rack, and it came quickly in protective styrofoam. Inside, I found the two main panels, four dowels, assembly screws, a small Phillips screwdriver, and an extra screw just in case I misplace one. Honestly, the instruction sheet isn't really needed, as putting it together is straightforward once you see the pieces. The panels have holes for dowels and recessed holes for screws. Just a heads up: the screws are designed to go in a bit further than flush because of the flat-bottomed holes, but it doesn't take away from how it looks. The dowels have pilot holes, and screwing them in isn’t too tough, but avoid using a power drill to prevent stripping those holes. Once assembled, the rack feels solid and holds up to eight bottles easily. I appreciate that the bottles tilt slightly down at the cork end, which seems to be a common preference. If anyone wants the bottles completely horizontal, you could trim the dowels to get a tighter fit. Overall, I'm happy with this wine rack—it's attractive, sturdy, and quite affordable. I'd give it five stars!

*edit: A review of a different product was mistakenly posted here initially. That review was moved to its proper page and the review below is for this product - the peker wine rack.*As shown in a photo, inside the protective styrofoam box are the two main front and back sections of the rack, four dowels, assembly screws, a small phillips screwdriver and an instruction sheet. A spare ninth screw is provided in case one is lost. The instruction sheet is really unnecessary since there is only one way to assemble this item, which is immediately apparent when you look at the parts. Each main panel has four dowel holes for... Well... Insertion of the four dowels. The other side of the panel has four countersink holes for the screws used in the assembly. The holes are actually counterBORE (flat-bottomed) holes rather than counterSINK (cone-shaped) holes, which would match the shape of the screw heads. As a result, the screws go in a little farther than flush-mounted when tightened, but this doesn't detract from the appearance. As shown in a photo, the dowels have pilot holes for the screws. There's not much resistance to screwing in the screws, and it shouldn't be done with a high-torque device like an electric drill to avoid stripping the pilot holes. Because of design of this rack, with the dowels set into holes in each panel, the assembled wine rack is rigid and supplies plenty of support for the eight bottles it can hold. A photo shows the assembled rack with a selection of the high-class screw-top wines we favor. Note that because of the length of the dowels the bottles aren't held perfectly horizontally but are tilted down slightly at the "cork" end, which most people desire. Anyone who wanted the bottles held exactly horizontally could cut the dowels shorter to bring the front and back sections closer together and make that possible. We like this attractive and sturdy wine rack, It's inexpensive and a good value at the time of this review. I've give it five stars.
