Home made wine rack (Elmstead BR7)

I made this at home in the early 1980s for storing my home made wine. It is made from the wood from a wardrobe my parents bought in 1949 when they were first married: hence the finish, which I think is burr elm, and the thickness of the wood. It measures 80 x 107 x 23 cm and holds at least 40 bottles of wine on its 8 shelves. Admittedly some will be a tight fit, and the shelves don't stop them rolling about. Please be aware that this is rough and ready shelving suitable for a garage or shed rather than the home. You could unscrew some of the shelves and use it for storing other items. If it is too big to fit in your car, it can easily be dismantled by unscrewing the two screws at the end of each shelf, making it a compact stack of planks as shown in the second photo. It is reasonably easy to assemble (I've just done it) as I have numbered all the screw holes, so hole 1 on one shelf screws onto hole 1 on the end piece. Simples! 32 screws in all. Easier than following IKEA.instructions.
