We go through a lot of water in our house and usually the jugs just sit in the garage. This shelf is a great space saver and much better looking. There were no instructions for this but it's easy to see how it should fit by looking at this listing and it didn't take long to assemble. The metal is strong and the rack doesn't move when bottles are added or removed (minimal wobble). We've found it's easiest to grasp the handle and neck of the bottle when you remove it. This is a good organizer and we recommend it.
