Would it be easy to put this together and not insert the wine rack to use the space as a shelf instead?

It is fairly easy to put together. It took 2 of us about an hour. You certainly have the option to leave out the wine rack. The wine rack is made out of cardboard that you can easily slide in slide out.

It's pretty easy to put together, my husband did it in about an hour. Also, you can definitely take the wine rack out and use the space as a shelf. That's what we've done in the past.

I wouldn't know yet. We just received our shipment and haven't put it together yet. According to the info on the website it states the wine rack is optional so I am hoping it will be.

I believe so. Quite sure you can leave out the wine rack piece(s). Its not that solid that it would affect overall piece.

Wine rack can easily be not installed. It is the weakest and easiest part to install.

They are not easy to put together with or without wine rack. Lots of patience to figure out where the parts go but is really nice when you get it together.

Also, btw, i ended up selling mine (instead of tearing down &returning;) & bought something more high end because it just looked too cheap like walmart rta furniture....

Very easy to leave out. Wine shelves are separate pieces. I love this buffet. For the price, can't beat it.

The wine rack is completely optional. You could definitely put it together and skip the wine rack.

Its fairly easy to put together for a regular do it yourselfer.....Took me about 1 and a half hours. Be aware that some parts might be a little snug to fit easily though. I would recommend not to tighten all the shelf bolts to hard untill everyhing is put together, that way assembly may go much easier.

The shelves are not moveable....of course you can remove a couple of them if you need to. I found that some bottles are very tight to get in but have been able to get the Pinot bottles in. If the bottle is really unusual you may have an issue. I remain pleased with the cooler. It maintains the exact temperature and very silent.

No Sorry! I love mine, but I would not use bar stools for it. It's perfect how it is. Maybe making the bottom shelf with more space would be the best thing because a lot of my bottles don't fit in the bottom shelf.

Yes. The shelves accommodate large bottles of wine and the unit is quiet. I have had no problems.

Eh, not really. You'd have to take out all of the shelves in order to face an open bottle right side up. That being said, an open bottle with half a cork sticking out might hang over the lip of the shelf, but not enough to prevent the door from closing. So you could store an open bottle that way.

No. The only possible area would be the wine rack spot but you would have to demolish that. Even then I don't think it'll fit because it's enclosed in two glass doors which wouldn't be practical for a fridge.

very easy to assemble,and I moved wine rack and put my bottles in lower and upper sections.

You could assemble the unit without the center shelf. There may be some small holes visible on the back. You could plug them if necessary. It is a well built and solid unit.

They show it in a four high configuration here, http://www.momastore.org/museum/moma/ProductDisplay_Houdini-Wine-Rack_10451_10001_46151_-1_26669_11520 , and if you have shelf on each side that should provide support to keep it from falling. I say Go For it!

The unit is very substantial. You could do this safely as long as you glue or fasten everything together. I would use a thin coat of some sort of glue that is transparent when dry ("Gorilla glue" comes to mind.). This would add assembly time, but would provide a sturdy wine rack.

I think it ships with mounting screws and plastic anchors. If not, I would use 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" screws. Make sure one of them finds a stud and you ought to be in good shape (of course use an anchor on the other one if you can't reach another stud). The rack itself is very lightweight. And it's probably a good idea to distribute the weight of your wine bottles if you don't keep a full rack...

Yes. It is easy to put together, but it is quite large so you will want to move it as little as possible once it is assembled.

I don't believe so--In the past, there was a question if 2 racks could be purchased, then stacked--I would NOT recommend that due to the weight AND I am not aware of extra shelves you could add to this -- Based on the top of the racks & design, I do not see how that could be installed. The wine storage (Trinity) is very sturdy & I really like it---but I don't see how you could make it larger.

There are notches cut out on the legs to insert the shelf. I doubt it would be very stable without the shelf.

Only if you added a shelf for it to fit in underneath which would be very easy to do.

You could leave the left shelf off, but there will be open holes bit you could just add the screws in w/o the shelf. I don't think this would look good without the ss shelf, but u could still do it.
