Monarch Specialties , Home Bar, Ladder Style, Cappuccino, 60"H

I love this. My brother bought one for his house, so did a few of his friends and I plan on buying another when I move out of the country. Everyone I know loves the style. My sister can't wait to get mine when I move. It's tricky to put together but worth every penny. I it's not too big and fits well I'm my living room and is heavy enough it won't fall over.

This was actually very easy to install. I know the measurements were listed, but I didn't realize how not very tall it is. When following the steps, set up the pieces in the exact same way as depicted in the instructions (ex: if in the picture it shows piece #2 on the right-hand side laying flat...do it exactly that way too, it'll alleviate any confusion). The pieces are sturdy and of great quality! I bought this for my partner and set this up for him and he LOVES it!---UPDATE---- Five years later (2014-2019):We still have this home bar and it continues to withstand the wear and tear! The pieces wood panels, holders and wine holders are still in solid condition no matter what we throw at it! Our guests comment on it's beauty and elegance. I am glad I bought this to add to our home! It's been very practical and such a space saver for all of our liquor, bar equipment, and glassware! A must buy if you're on the fence about it! Even after five years, not regretting this purchase one bit!

A few days after getting it assembled, I am extremely pleased with this wine rack. It looks classy and expensive. I like that its tall and thin as opposed to other racks that you'd have to bend down to use and take up more real estate.A word about the instructions: They are not difficult. You just have to follow them exactly. All the wood parts have a number. The instructions indicate that for example, legs 3 and 6 go together and also 2 and 5 go together. Although it is possible to assemble it with 2 and 3, then the unfinished parts will be facing out. Although some parts are the same size and shape, they are numbered differently because they are used differently in the assembly. Careful examination of the instructions will result in a problem-free assembly.It came very carefully packed and wrapped in packing bubbles. The inside is packed with Styrofoam, which can break off into smaller pieces. Make sure you vacuum/sweep carefully afterwards.

So, my husband and I just put this thing together. You basically put the outside frame together first and then put the shelves and stuff together and then slide the shelving piece into the frame. As others have mentioned, the instructions are God awful. However, the one person that said it was bad because there were unfinished parts showing to the front, did it wrong. And I say he did it wrong cause we did it wrong first too and were about to freak out and send it back.But, we took a step a back and started looking at the frame. Basically, when we put the frame together we had unfinished sides showing on the front and the back of the frame. We were confounded and thought the manufacturer had not drilled the holes right in the pieces. The instructions do not have any indication on them about unfinished sides vs. finished sides... so, you have to use your brain to figure out which piece goes where. It was a lot easier to figure out where we went wrong once we had the whole frame together. We just kinda stared at it for a few minutes and then a light bulb went off that we had four of the frame pieces on the wrong sides. So, with a little switching around we finally got all the finished sides right where they needed to be. It was only the frame we had problems figuring out. The rest of the parts were easy.It is really pretty and once it was all put together I was really glad we didn't give up. It is very sturdy and not wobbly at all. We were a litle skeptical when we were doing the frame cause we had one side that seemed a bit loose but once everything was together it tightened up. Also, when trying to put the shelving unit into the frame we had to loosen the bottom frame pieces to be able to slide it in. If we hadn't done that it wouldn't have gone in. It is also much easier to screw the shelving unit into the frame if you put it on its side.All in all, we are plesantly surprised and really like the look of it.

I really like this. It is smaller than it seems in photos, so just pay attention to the dimensions in the description. Perfect size for my apartment and pretty nice quality for the price. Two of the legs arrived broken, but I just went to the website listed on the instructions and asked for replacements and they sent them, no questions asked. After that, it did take a bit of time to put together, mostly because I was being extra cautious, based on others' reviews, that I was assembling everything correctly, since the instructions are a little confusing. If you can take your time, you won't have any issues.

I absolutely love this piece !!! It’s classy and yet casual at the same time. I’m not ready to build a full bar yet so this is perfect for the time being. It was crazy to put it together but I did it all by myself and for that I value it even more . I will say the directions were a little tricky but other than that the packaging was very secure ! No damage whatsoever.

My bf put this together and it looks awesome. I tried to put it together myself but it was a train wreck... I followed the instructions completely and the thing was rickety as could be. No idea what magic my bf did, but after he got it together it seems sturdy and nice.

Yes, everyone who wrote that this takes a few hours to assemble is right. If you don't take your time, not only do you risk mis-assembling it (and adding more time to assembly), but stripping screws or otherwise damage the unit/pieces. It's made of particle board with low quality finish, which chips easily. Hardware is flimsy and screws are easy to strip (definitely hand assemble). Even the glass holders look like pressed aluminum foil. If I hadn't put so much time into assembling it, I'd return it. Uses stickers to hide screws and camlocks! Ugh. Not a piece I'd put in bright light, given the obvious cheapness to it.
