• Make sure that your wood wine racks are made from durable wood such as redwood and oak. these woods resists the sudden change of temperature and since the body of the wine rack can be significant in a room it can make a quite a difference.


• Make sure the wine rack is built robustly. Too often wine racks fail because the wood is too thin or built with a minimum if any, substantial fasteners. Look for wine racks that have long warranty periods. Such as our warrantee that is for the lifetime of the wine rack.


• Make sure the wine rack being purchased is as close as possible to being fully assembled. Many wine rack suppliers just sell pieces of wood components, possibly hundreds of pieces that the customer must put together. This is frustrating, time consuming and opens up the wine rack to be assembled incorrectly. Wine Rack Store sells its wine racks almost fully assembled. With the right tools, most Wine Rack Store wine racks only take a few minutes to assemble.


• Do not purchase wine racks from wine rack sites that state that customers need glue and nails to complete the construction of the wine rack, this makes for a rickety and unstable display piece, and once filled with wine, it will be very heavy.


• Avoid wine racks that must be attached to a wall. All Wine Rack Store wine racks are free standing.


• Look for wine racks that can be easily stained and lacquered. Matching your decor is often important to maximize the aesthetics of your wine rack.


• Look for manufacturers that offer a significant number of color choices. Wine Rack Store offers over 20 different standard colors. We can also custom stain the wine rack for an exact match.
