Review on Cava Solid Wood Wine and Glass Rack: Rustic Walnut Tabletop Cork Storage Tray & Bottle Holder by Oren Perry

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The tree splits during assembly, the base deforms and does not sit level.

TLDR: Beautiful looks, terrible quality, easy to trace and make your own with good materials/wood. swell and break apart. "Wood" looks very cheap. I don't know how "solid wood" can be so light. It looks like the cork tree that these cheap toy airplane sets are made out of. In addition, the base was deformed in the middle, causing the frame to wobble. Over time, it can flatten under the weight of four bottles of wine, but shouldn't buckle in the first place. I was surprised that it seemed pretty solid considering how cheap the materials seemed to be prior to assembly. Visually it is a beautiful design/silhouette. If the tree split at the back I could live with it not being visible, but it's up front and a real eyesore. PROS: The design is SUPER SIMPLE. Anyone with basic woodworking skills can do something like this, so I'll probably trace the details on paper after I take it apart and before I put it back. This would be a great stand using real wood instead of the lightweight material they use and call "solid wood".

Pros
  • Poorly thought out like everything before
