Setup and Assembly
Assembly is required for this product. Follow these steps carefully. It is recommended to have two people for wall mounting.
Tools Required (Not Included):
- Pencil
- Measuring Tape
- Level
- Drill with appropriate drill bits for wall anchors
- Hammer (for drywall anchors)
Assembly Steps:
- Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches. Refer to the parts list (if provided in the physical manual) to identify each piece.
- Assemble Shelf Sections: Connect the main horizontal and vertical panels using the provided hardware (screws, dowels). Ensure all connections are snug but do not overtighten.
- Install Wine Bottle Inserts: Insert the diamond-shaped wine bottle holders into their designated slots within the shelf structure.
- Attach Stemware Rack: Secure the stemware rack to the underside of the designated shelf using the provided screws.
- Prepare for Wall Mounting: Once the rack structure is complete, determine the desired mounting location on your wall. Use a level and pencil to mark the positions for the mounting holes. Ensure the marks are level and spaced correctly according to the rack's mounting points.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. Use a drill bit appropriate for your wall type and the provided wall anchors.
- Install Wall Anchors: Insert the wall anchors into the pilot holes. For drywall anchors, gently tap them in with a hammer until flush with the wall surface.
- Mount the Rack: Carefully lift the assembled wine rack and align its mounting points with the installed wall anchors. Insert the mounting screws through the rack and into the wall anchors. Tighten securely until the rack is firm against the wall. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the wall or the rack.
- Final Check: Gently test the stability of the mounted rack. Ensure it is securely fastened and does not wobble.

- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and mounting hardware to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability.
