Celtic Bakers Rack with Wine Storage in Gunmetal Gray
The Celtic Bakers’ Rack with Wine Storage is a multipurpose rack that blends well in contemporary areas, such as in kitchens, dining rooms, and even living rooms.
This rack doesn’t only have an attractive design, it also provides plenty of storage options for a wide range of items.
These can include ornamental knick-knacks and practical things, such as pots and pans, small kitchen appliances, and utensils.
While its primary design may be as a bakers’ rack, it can also be used as an industrial-type wine bar, thanks to the wine rack.
Many buyers also used it as their workstation in an outdoor kitchen set-up, as their storage area in a home office, and even as a tool space in the garage.
Features and Specifications
This is a great bakers’ rack since it has multiple purposes. You can use it for displaying your wine-related collection, for example, or for storing your oft-used kitchen utensils for cooking and baking.
You may even change its purpose over time. For example, it can be a conversation piece/display rack in the living room when it’s still new and then transferred to the attic as a storage rack after a few years. The thick metal used for the frame can withstand years of use in whatever purpose deemed necessary.
The Celtic bakers’ rack has an appealing soft country style that adds a touch of rustic charm to indoor and outdoor areas, such as kitchens, dens, and patios. The gunmetal gray finish on the metal frame has an industrial look, a contemporary touch that homeowners love.
The finish can be sprayed over with another color, such as midnight black, if you so desire. Just keep in mind that the original finish is there for a purpose – it blends well with the caramel color on the wicker baskets.
The decorative scrollwork at the top of the rack is a beautiful touch, too. Many bakers’ racks are just too plain in design while many others are too elaborate in their scrollwork. This bakers’ rack hits the right balance between too simple and too elaborate, thus, its suitability for most modern spaces.
Beyond the color and scrollwork, the Celtic bakers’ rack provides practical benefits including plenty of display and storage spaces. There are two slatted shelves, one broad slatted workspace, and two glassware racks as well as 12 bottle holders for wines. The bottom shelf also has two sturdy, attractive and spacious rattan baskets, too.
On the slatted shelves, you can place the larger items with practical and ornamental uses. These can include stacked plates, saucers and bowls, as well as flower vases and knick-knacks. The shelves can also be used to stack containers for spices and condiments.
On the two glassware racks, the glasses for wines, water and juice can be displayed in their glory. You don’t have to worry about these breakable items falling down like Humpty Dumpty because of the protective slats. Just be sure to place the glassware in proper order to reduce the risks of breakage.
Of course, the 12 bottle holders are designed for safe and secure storage of your wine bottles. This is such a great feature whether you’re a beginner or veteran in wine collection and connoisseurship. The bottle holders are designed so that the bottles are set at an angle, thus, ensuring their good condition before opening.
The two rattan baskets can be removed from the bottom shelf, such as when larger things are placed on the shelf. These baskets are great for storing things that should be kept in a box, such as linens, toys, and food packs, depending on the use for the rack.
Indeed, there are so many possible uses for the Celtic bakers’ rack that it would be such a shame if it’s limited to just one purpose! You will likely find a specific use for it just by looking at it.
The rack required assembly but the steps are easy considering that the package comes with easy-to-follow instructions. Be sure to read the instructions first, identify the parts, and look at the rack’s picture before starting on the assembly. You will also need a few basic tools for the process, which many buyers said took 20 minutes or so.
And since the rack is a monetary investment on your part, you should take proper care of it. According to the manufacturer, the rack should be dusted regularly with a soft dry cloth. Even a once-a-month dusting can contribute to the rack’s longevity, especially as dust and dirt can compromise its material.
