Baker Rack with Slate Inlaid in Dark Bronze Finish

Baker Rack with Slate Inlaid in Dark Bronze FinishThis item was everything I expected (and more!). The box arrived in good shape (via FedEx) and all the parts and pieces were all included. Each piece was packed VERY WELL (esp the glass shelves). Very easy to put together and very sturdy. The largest glass shelf supports our new microwave with no problem. I have this rack in our bar area of the family room and it looks even better than pictured. We have other furniture in the room with slate accents and this piece matches perfectly! I am a very satisfied customer...and I will order from this company again!

I put this together over the weekend. One person, 45 minutes with breaks for changing the music on the ipod, fiddling with the stereo and retrieving the bolts from my cat. The fasteners they give you come in a little baggie of bolts. There's no cardboard backed plastic container with labels, just a little red plastic bag of bolts. No extras so you'd better find any you drop or that the cat runs off with. They must coat these with used french fry oil because whenever I turned my back my cat would be running off with one in his mouth.

Though it goes together well and I had few issues doing it myself, the instructions are laughable. They consist, in their entirety of one page with four pictures in various stages of assembly. There are no written instructions whatsoever. If these guys made a guide to learning to play the flute it would say, "Blow in one end and move your fingers up and down the holes. There! You're playing the flute!"

Just remember this to save some time and headaches. Put it all together but don't tighten it all up until you're finished or you'll have to loosen bolts for it to fit together.

Now for the measurements! Is there anything more annoying than the vague measurements they provide? I wanted to know what would fit in each shelf. So here are the assembled measurements. I rounded down to the next 1/4" so if it read 16 3/8", I'll give it as 16 1/4".

Starting from the floor to the bottom shelf/rack to the bottom of wine rack, then from the top of the wine rack shelf to the bottom of the 'middle' shelf, then from the top of the 'middle' shelf to the bottom of the top shelf;

From ground to bottom of (lowest) bottom shelf/rack 7"

(Top of) Lowest shelf/rack to bottom of wine rack 19 1/4"

(Top of) Wine rack shelf to bottom of next 'middle' shelf 15 1/2"

(Top of) Middle shelf to bottom of top shelf 14"

DEPTH of shelves, from the front of the back poles to the front of the shelf;

Bottom, lowest rack 16" (Measurement between the front and back poles on the sides.)

Wine rack shelf 17" (I have a very deep microwave on mine. I chose this rack because of the depth. It just barely fits, but it fits.)

Middle shelf 10 3/4"

Top shelf 9 1/4"

I hope this helps. It's pretty sturdy once together.

Choose your vendor wisely. I was ready to buy and one vendor who provided free shipping was out of stock. I went with the next vendor and paid about $35 more. The next day the cheaper vendor had stock again. Shipping took a while but it arrived unscathed. Still pleased with purchase.

Although it's listed as a brown finish, it's so close to black as to be negligible. I actually love this rack, I'm just annoyed that the finish is SO cheap, it scuffs off if you sneeze at it. It came damaged on the top, looks like it got banged pretty hard in shipping, and it took off a chunck of the top post but I just took a little spray paint to it and you can't even tell now. It looks like it would be one of those flimsy metal racks that wobbles constantly, but it's not at allit sits very still and it's got a lot of space. THe wine rack only holds the narrowest of wine bottles, so don't count on it holding all "regular" sized wine bottles...Mirrasou fits, but Jargon doesn't, and to my eye they're the same size. Odd. But it'll hold 15 wine glasses (!) and the slate is gorgeous. I would buy it again.

Want Baker Rack with Slate Inlaid in Dark Bronze Finish Discount?

Decent storage, but the wine glass holders need to be a inch more in depth, and the wine rack should hold both the small wine bottles and the larger ones. Fairly easy to put together.
