Product Description
Introduced over 25 years ago, J.K. Admas geometrically proportioned wine racks have sold in the millions. Theyll 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. Unfinished hardwood beams and pins.

 Wine racks March 8, 2010
Kathy
We bought 6 boxes to make a large set of wineracks. It took the whole weekend but it was worth it.We bolted it with angle irons to the cement floor so it won't sway too much in an earthquake. It looks great-we even built small one for wine refrigerator.Very sturdy.The recommendation to put glue in the vertical pegs was a good one.

Just received this nice wine rack and got it put together in about 30 minutes. Very clear instructions. Seems sturdy and is unobtrusive. Wine bottles seem to fit securely. So far, so good!
Nice Wine Rack, Assembly Required March 2, 2010
Shoji Kumagai (Cupertino, CA USA)
It took me about 1 hour to complete the assembly with a rubber mallet. I built it in my garage since you need a hard enough floor for all the pounding. It's not too fancy, but is a beautiful wine rack. Another great product purchased from Amazon!
Versatile, easy and looks good February 25, 2010
S. Hein (Woodbridge, VA)
I underestimated number of bottles I'd need to store, and liked this so much I ended up ordering 2 more units (2 40's and 1 12 total). Packaging was great (very compact) and shipped very quickly. Instructions were simple, and other than having dimensions so you could plan out a design in the space you want before starting to put your rack together, weren't really necessary. I did find that among my different orders, one of them had more pegs than the others that were not a snug fit and I did end up using some glue as suggested.
 TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE quality control February 10, 2010
J. Nelson (Southern California)
Based on the overwhelmingly high product reviews this wine rack has on Amazon, I bought it with the anticipation of a quality product. When I attempted to assemble the kit, however, I discovered that the supplied hardware is insufficient to complete the job.
The instructions for assembly indicate that each peg should provide a "friction fit" during assembly, and that if any peg doesn't provide such a fit, to discard it and use another, since enough extras are provided to allow for some defective pegs. I discovered that about one in three or one in four of the pegs could provide a friction fit (not a tight friction fit, but just a friction fit). The remaining pegs turn loosely in the holes, and fall out if the "octobar" into which it is driven (yes, with a hammer) is upended. After a while, I began suspecting that maybe it wasn't just the pegs, but perhaps some of the holes were overlarge. So I started hunting through multiple holes looking for a tight fit, and rotating the bars to try to locate the wider holes towards the outside of the rack, where they wouldn't be used. Still, some pegs were so small that they wouldn't provide a friction fit in any hole, and some holes were so large that no peg could satisfy them.
All told, I was able to assemble slightly more than half of the octobars into two rows of openings, capable of holding some 20 bottles of wine. The box still contains a good number of octobars and a surprisingly high number of rejected pegs.
The instructions indicate, and I quote, that "Glue is usually unnecessary on J.K. Adams wine racks. Our pins are slightly oversized to produce a friction fit which is generally sufficient to insure a tight rack. In a dry environment, however, some wood joints may loosen. If this occurs, add a spot of glue." I'm located in southern California, where we're in the midst of our wettest winter in over a decade. In the last two weeks, our area has seen over 7" of rain (average yearly total = 3"). On the day I was assembling the rack, it was actually raining. So there is no way that I'm in "a dry environment."
I don't want to use glue to hold the remaining components together (and would not be confident in the structural strength thereby achieved - it would be like trying to glue a hot dog into the middle of a hallway). So, now I'm forced to decide whether to keep the 20-something bottle wine rack that I have (after paying for a 40-bottle rack) or deal with the hassle of disassembly and return shipment for a refund.
