Bottle holder for the kitchen: types, methods of fastening, self-installation

Every housewife wants her kitchen to be functional and equipped with the latest technology. Modern manufacturers of kitchen furniture annually offer a wide variety of fittings that allow you to optimize the free space in tables and wall cabinets. This article provides an overview of a useful and convenient device like a bottle holder for the kitchen.

Bottle holder - ease of use and optimal use of free space

Varieties and design

First of all, it is worth noting that there are several types of this fittings.
They differ from each other in their sizes and methods of installation inside furniture. Moreover, each specific type may have its own separate purpose, not directly related to its name. Pull-out panel 100 mm wide

Dimensions

Typically, the size of a bottle holder for the kitchen is chosen solely for the convenience of placing this device in the cabinet (see also the article on the size of kitchen cabinets).

However, some manufacturers pay special attention to it, suggesting that it will become not only auxiliary equipment for storing small utensils, but also the main storage for plates and other small utensils

• Large boxes are usually made 200 mm wide. In this case, several shelves are located in the standard section. They are convenient for placing plates, cups, cutlery and a host of other kitchen items.
• Medium bottle holders are used for various boxes, jars, powders and other utensils. They have a lot of purposes and an optimal width of 150 mm. Moreover, this size can be considered the maximum when installing fittings using the side fastening method.
• The third most common bottle container width size is 100 mm. It is used in cases where it is necessary to save space in the volume of furniture. Moreover, its purpose justifies its name perfectly, since this device can only accommodate bottles, boxes of spices or small containers.

Pull-out panel 200 mm wide

Side mount

This type of similar fittings uses a fastening that involves placing guides on the side panel inside the cabinet. In this case, it is best to use devices with a width of no more than 150 mm.

This allows you to place the maximum amount of necessary kitchen utensils and at the same time does not provide a lot of space to overload the load-bearing elements.

• First you need to choose a kitchen cabinet where the bottle holder will be placed. In some furniture models, a separate compartment is allocated for this, but if you make the set yourself, then you can use any box in which an additional partition is simply installed.
• After this, the guides are secured to the inner wall using fasteners that are included with the device. If they are not available, then you can use small self-tapping screws designed for working on wood no more than 1 cm long.

• Next, you need to install the bottle holder itself, as shown in the instructions for this model.
• After this, you need to attach a pre-prepared facade panel, which will serve as a kind of door.
• If desired, you can attach a small handle to the resulting door.

Bottom mount

This device is much more practical than the one that uses a side mount. However, its price may be much higher.

This is due to the fact that this design requires the presence of a special trolley with rollers, on which the bottle holder itself is placed.

• The choice of installation location also differs from the first model. This device does not require a separate cabinet for the kitchen, but rather is designed to be installed between them.
• Depending on the specific model, it is necessary to secure the guides or cart using the instructions or the photo included in the manual. It is worth noting that there are many options for this action, and all of them are closely related to the selected design. That is why it is impossible to select general instructions for this stage of installation.
• When the bottle holder is fixed, a facade panel is attached to it, which matches the interior of the kitchen.
• After this, a handle is mounted on the resulting door, with the help of which the opening will be carried out.

Where to place kitchen models: photos of models and options

The placement of kitchen cargo depends largely on what will be stored in them. If the bottle holder is intended for detergents, powders and towels, then it is wiser to install it near the sink cabinet. Installing cargo near a stove or hob is justified if you plan to store bottles of vegetable oil, jars of spices and tins of tea.

Cargo at the kitchen stove

Lower and upper bottle cabinets for the kitchen

Placing cargo in the lower tier is the most popular option used in the manufacture and installation of kitchen units. Bottom bottle holders are considered convenient because they allow easier access to all the necessary items, since they are literally “at hand”.

Cargo bottles mounted in the upper sections of the headset are usually intended for things that are used infrequently. Such items include foil or baking sleeves, alcohol, various containers, napkins, etc.

Pencil case for tall bottle holders

Cargo for bottles, installed in pencil cases, have from three to five tiers with openings of different heights. In addition to standard shelves with sides inside the bottle holder, there are many additional options: hooks, trays, etc. Connoisseurs of free space prefer to choose such models, since high cargo is a spacious structure for storing necessary items.

Types of bottle accessories

The ease of use of the cargo depends on the size of the cargo.
Bottle holders differ from each other in several characteristics:

1. Installation method.
2. Number of levels.
3. Purpose.

Installation method in the kitchen

1. Built-in. They are an integral part of the entire kitchen set. They can be built into any adjacent drawer; before purchasing, you must also make sure that the parameters of the product best match the furniture in the kitchen.
2. Autonomous. They can be installed anywhere, they are separate elements and are not part of the kitchen system. This feature helps not only to place this device in a practical way, but also to choose it in any color, texture, or even using a different style; for a fusion-style kitchen interior, you can use a Moroccan-style bottle holder - it all depends on your taste. It is possible to install such a bottle holder near the dining area. In this case, in addition to bottles, you can place the most necessary products in it.

Design Features

1. Two-level. The most optimal and convenient version of the cargo form. Almost any bottle can be placed in the slots between both shelves without any problems.
2. Three-level. They are less practical than two-level ones, but they allow you to put a lot of useful products in them. Most standard-shaped bottles will have to be laid on their sides, as they will not fit in a vertical position.

Type of content

• Bottle for spices and sauces;
• cargo for alcoholic beverages;
• bottle holder for water and other non-alcoholic drinks;
• cargo for storing baby juices, formulas and other feeding products. Can be installed in a specially designated place in the kitchen so as not to occupy drawers intended for storing food and appliances necessary for preparing food for adults;
• combined bottle holder;
• for serving wine.

Features of individual designs

For more reliable fastening on the shelves of most bottle holders, it is possible to install additional dividers that provide reliable fixation of kitchen accessories and prevent them from tipping over when the door is opened (for hung samples) or when products with rollers or mounted on roller runners are suddenly pulled out.

An excellent addition to any retractable cargo bottle holder are closers that allow you to install the fittings in place without fear for the safety of items located on its shelves. In addition, the closer prevents loud noises that accompany the abrupt installation of a basket or cargo pallet. However, any additional accessories increase the cost of the bottle storage product, which, according to most housewives, should be minimal.

Also, many housewives ask their husbands to add a closer to the bottle basket installed on the door, which will prevent the cabinet or cabinet door from abruptly slamming, keeping the bottles and containers placed in the basket intact.

Selection of accessories

For self-assembly you will need guides. If you need to save money, take regular ones with ball bearings. If comfort is a priority, you need to choose one with a built-in system for finishing and automatic opening (by pressing) - a more expensive, but convenient option. You may also need handles for the façade.

Dear manufacturers whose products are available on the domestic furniture accessories market:

• Bloom. The country of registration of the brand is Austria. The company produces retractable mechanisms and assembled cargo modules. The range includes both inexpensive models and systems with closers.
• Vibo. Italian company, manufacturer of luxury fittings. Compact guides occupy a minimum of usable space in the base frame. There are different versions of mechanisms available for sale, suitable for the implementation of complex projects.
• Hettich. One of the leading German manufacturers of furniture fittings. Most factories are located in Germany. The products are famous for their reliability and durability.

You can also consider buying budget fittings from Boyard.

Another way to create a simple shelf is a wine rack made from two crossed planks

For this you will need:

• Two identical wooden planks.

Next, we will consider two options for the location of such boards:

Letter "X"

To do this, you need to saw through each of the boards to the middle so that the width of the cut is equal to the width of the board.

Snake

This type of arrangement is suitable for rectangular structures. In this case, the planks are fastened together with glue using clamps.

This option for shelves is suitable for placing them independently, for example, on the wall, as separate furniture, as well as for placing them in existing furniture: You can create an entire mini-bar from a kitchen sideboard. To do this, however, you will have to sacrifice space inside ready-made cabinets, sideboards and other furniture modules.

How to choose and buy a bottle holder for the kitchen

The best option is when the presence of a bottle holder is provided for at the design stage of the kitchen set. However, if the furniture is already ready and you decide to buy and install cargo, then when choosing a design you need to take into account several basic criteria, which we will describe below.

Choosing a bottle holder in a kitchen set by size and number of shelves

When choosing cargo, you should take into account the dimensions of the structure and the box in which it will be mounted. The basket must be smaller than the internal width of the front, work cabinet or top cabinet

If this is a freestanding wine bottle holder, then you should take into account the dimensions of the room. The most popular baskets are with a width of 100 to 300 mm. The choice of basket largely depends on the dimensions of the cabinet

The choice of basket largely depends on the dimensions of the cabinet

It would be a good idea to decide on the required number of shelves for the bottle holder, which largely depends on the height of the structure. The most common options are retractable two or three-tier cargo. Baskets with two shelves are generally placed at the bottom. Tall bottles and containers are placed on the lower tiers, and the upper tiers are most often used to store small jars of spices and low containers.

A three-tier bottle holder is less practical, but it can store more different items. Some manufacturers offer designs with adjustable shelf heights.

There are also cargo with the number of shelves from 3 to 5 pieces. Similar designs are intended for cabinets.

Two-tier design

Cargo installation method

Kitchen bottle holders, in addition to the number of shelves, sizes and placement, also differ in the method of fastening. There are 3 installation options:

1. Side. The most popular method of fastening cargo, which allows you to securely fasten the structure and adjust the facade. It is used at the stage of assembling a kitchen set and is more suitable for installing narrow baskets with a width of up to 250 mm. The side retractable mechanism is the most affordable option.
2. Lower. This mounting option is suitable for heavy baskets with a width of up to 600 mm. A bottle holder with a bottom mounting method is a roller platform on which cargo is installed. The option is, of course, expensive, but such a storage system can be installed in any suitable kitchen cabinet.
3. Turning. It is used when it is necessary to install the structure in a corner trapezoidal cabinet or cabinet. The disadvantage of this option is the high price, which is 2-3 times more than traditional mechanisms.

Cargo with swivel mechanism

Load capacity

When choosing cargo, you should consider what load it can withstand. For example, narrow bottle holders are designed for a weight of up to 12 kg, and baskets with a width of 300 mm - up to 40 kg

Therefore, it is very important to take this criterion into account when purchasing a structure

Pay attention to the load capacity

Construction quality and façade type

When purchasing a bottle holder, you should pay attention to the joints of the structure and the chrome plating of the basket. There should be no cracks or chips. The welded joint must be free of cracks and the coating must be free of chips.

The welded joint must be free of cracks and the coating must be free of chips.

It is also necessary to take into account the type of facade: framed from a profile or solid. The second option is preferable because it is more reliable and easier to install.

A solid facade is much easier to install than a frame one

Additional options

Of course, additional options increase the cost of the design, but also increase the comfort of use. These could be hooks, towel holders, borders, clips, dividers, etc. It is best if the basket is equipped with closers. These mechanisms allow the basket to move smoothly and silently.

Additional option in the form of separators

The manufacturer is also important, but it doesn’t always make sense to overpay for a brand. Now you can purchase designs from little-known companies that are just entering the market

In an effort to win the trust of consumers, they pay great attention to the quality of their products.

How much do ready-made structures cost?

The price of ready-made bottle holders depends on:

• size;
• material;
• brand prestige;
• additional options.

Cargo can be made of metal with spraying or galvanic coating, chipboard, MDF, plywood, plastic, as well as combinations of these materials.

The simplest option for internal filling is shelves without holders made of metal, glass, or plastic. There are variations with metal baskets, insertable plastic containers, as well as special stops and holders for paper towels, tall bottles, and spice containers.

The most affordable ready-made option: bottle holders made of metal and plastic, made in China. The price starts from 2000 rubles for a design with 2-3 shelves without special holders and closers. If necessary, you can purchase missing parts separately.

This bottle holder can be installed in a standard cabinet, but it has a drawback - incomplete extension, which prevents full use of the internal space.

Mid-price cargo is manufactured in Poland, Russia, and Italy. The average price is 5,000 rubles for a medium-sized design suitable for standard floor-mounted kitchen cabinets. The kit includes 2-4 wire baskets, the extension is full, which allows you to load the structure as much as possible.

Many models are equipped with closers, and there are various color variations. Ready-made modules can be supplemented with internal inserts and holders that increase overall functionality.

Expert opinion

Zhukova Ekaterina Dmitrievna

Interior designer

The most expensive models made in Spain and Germany can be found in showrooms specializing in the sale of kitchen furniture. These bottle holders are made of chrome-plated steel and are durable and aesthetically pleasing.

The advantages include a wide variety of sizes, maximum filling capacity, the presence of convenient fastenings and closers that guarantee smooth extension. There are options with a rotating mechanism; closers are required to guarantee smooth closing.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of cargo are:

• convenience (a lot of items are in one place);
• organizing the placement of a mass of small items (order);
• a wide range of shades, modifications and sizes (can be selected for a specific set or ordered);
• different materials of manufacture (models are made of wood, plastic, metal);
• the presence of corner options with the front part located at an angle of 45 degrees (convenience for integration into various modular kitchen systems);
• aesthetic appeal (modifications are ergonomic);
• freeing up space for household items (coffee machine, microfiber).

The disadvantages of bottle holders include:

• the need to completely fill the box (when partially loaded, it loses stability);
• impossibility of installation in particularly cramped spaces (the roll-out system is inconvenient in small-sized kitchens);
• correct placement and installation (otherwise the usefulness of the cargo is reduced);
• price of the product (such boxes, as a rule, are not cheap);
• inconvenience of cleaning shelves from dirt.

Conclusion

After watching the proposed video, it becomes clear that a device such as a bottle holder is not just an innovation in modern furniture design, but also an essential item that helps organize the placement of kitchen utensils and saves space.

The bottle holder will also help fill the voids in the furniture caused by the elementary placement of standard cabinets.

Buy or make

It's worth thinking carefully about whether you need a bottle holder in your kitchen. In some situations there is no room left for it, and I would not recommend sacrificing the capacity of more significant and practical cabinets.

I also do not recommend using free-standing cargo in a small kitchen. They require space, and with limited space it is impossible to get it.

Built-in bottle holders have many more objective advantages. The main thing is that the design allows you to accommodate a sufficient number of containers. And what often happens is that the kitchen furniture is tampered with, everything is sawed up and remade, and in the end the cargo only holds a few bottles. What to do with the rest is an open question.

A good solution might be to buy a kitchen whose design initially includes cargo. The specialist takes measurements of the kitchen, selects the equipment and materials for you, and includes a bottle holder in the drawing. In the place and in the sizes you need.

Buying such a kitchen is beneficial in many ways. You don’t have to break the design of the finished furniture and risk its integrity. Making a mistake can only ruin everything. Eliminating such consequences is even more difficult.

If you are planning a kitchen renovation and you consider it necessary to have a bottle holder, consider its availability in advance. It won't cost much more than integrating it after assembly. But the cargo will initially turn out to be part of the furniture. It will look harmonious and as practical as possible.

Do-it-yourself cargo or bottle holder is not always a necessary element. It can be replaced with a wine shelf, for example.

Bottle stand made from newspaper tubes

For this you will need:

• Newspapers;
• Ruler;
• Knife;
• Paints;
• Cardboard;
• skewers for mini kebab;
• PVA glue.

Process:

First we need to make newspaper tubes. We take kebab skewers and wrap pieces of newspaper pages around them. We make the edges of the stick with a bevel.

Next, we lay out the made newspaper tubes in a row so that they touch each other as tightly as possible. We evenly apply PVA glue to them and fix the tubes as accurately and efficiently as possible. We wait until the product dries.

The next step is to cut out polygons measuring 30mm*30mm*33mm*16mm. We glue the edges together and secure them with a folding clamp.

When the polygons are dry, you need to cut out a circle, the size of which should correspond to the size of the bottom of the stand.

We secure the bottom and, at the end of the work, coat the stand with wood varnish. Apply it in at least two layers. If you want to make the stand for your wine bottle brighter, you can paint it with acrylic paint.

What are bottle holders used for and where are they placed?

Surely there will be skeptics who doubt the need for cargo in the kitchen. They will argue their position by saying that they previously managed without a bottle holder, placing numerous containers and jars in sections of cabinets. However, was it convenient to quickly find the desired item and maintain order? The whole secret of cargo is ease of use and functionality.

Modern storage systems are thought out to the smallest detail and allow you to neatly arrange not only containers and bottles, but also detergents, cereals, frying pans, home canned goods and much more.

There is always a place for any attributes of culinary art in convenient and capacious bottle holders. Cargo not only provides significant savings in kitchen space due to the rational use of space, but also helps to avoid chaos when storing items necessary for the housewife.

Various places are used to place sectional storage:

• It is convenient to place a retractable bottle holder in the immediate vicinity of the workplace. From it you can always quickly get liquid seasoning, aromatic sauce, vegetable oil, a bottle of vinegar and other things that a home cook cannot do without;
• Next to the hob it is worth placing cargo for storing frying pans, baking sheets, and numerous ladles. A housewife who loves to cook and knows a lot about preparing delicious food will appreciate the functionality of cargo;
• Not far from the worktop you can install a retractable metal basket with two, three or four shelves. The height of the cargo sections allows you to place home canned goods, bottles of drinks, and various cereals;
• It is convenient to store washing powders, cleaning products and other chemicals near the sink to keep dishes and the kitchen area clean. If a washing machine or dishwasher is installed in the kitchen, it is also convenient to place such storage near them;
• a classic bottle holder in which alcoholic drinks are stored should be located as close as possible to the dining area. This sectional design for horizontal or vertical storage of bottles performs the function of a traditional bar.

Some owners like to install cargo inside wall cabinets, while others arrange storage in lower cabinets.

The choice of the optimal option is influenced by the design features of the kitchen unit and the height of the owners. The placement of bottle holders on opposite sides of the hob creates a feeling of visual balance and is perceived as harmonious.

Options: what to choose

Cargo systems can be stand-alone or built-in. The first ones are placed on open surfaces: shelves, countertops. If desired, they can also be placed in closed cabinets.

The advantages of free-standing models are obvious: the products are inexpensive, mobile, and easy to move to a new location. However, such bottle holders also have disadvantages: they are bulky and take up scarce space on work surfaces. When installing structures inside ordinary cabinets, they are inconvenient to use.

Built-in modules are installed when assembling the kitchen. They allow you to close gaps between cabinets and use free space in corners and at joints. Fully retractable structures are most convenient, but in some cases partially retractable ones are also suitable.

Expert opinion

Zhukova Ekaterina Dmitrievna

Interior designer

Built-in modules are most often installed in lower cabinets in a common row, covered with a countertop on top. If the kitchen has tall cabinets, you can install a larger bottle holder; the number of shelves or baskets in it can reach up to 7-8. The design holds a lot of kitchen items, but the top shelves are not very convenient for daily use.

Shelf made of pipes and leather

For this you will need:

• Metal copper pipes;
• Pieces of leather.

It is worth considering that for this product you need to specially order a pipe of the shape you need. We process and hem the pieces of leather and then fasten them to the finished pipe.

Instead of metal pipes, you can use wood material. Most people associate good wine with age: old wine is good wine, and therefore highly prized.

You can use a design hack that will give the shelf an old look. That is, your shelf can be artificially aged. To do this, you need to cover the product with stain, let it dry and then sand it with zero-grit sandpaper. The result will be scuffs that will give the shelf an old look.

As for choosing a product for independent construction, there are a great many options: you can choose either a familiar and fairly simple design or an original, intricate and complex one. It all depends on your preferences, desires and home design.

The second name for the hardware option we are considering is ball guides, since the system moves on small balls, which ensure smooth running and durability of the structures. Let's figure out what product options are available, and then consider the model range presented on the market.

Main types

All telescopic options are divided according to the following characteristics:

Possibility of disassembly. There are both collapsible and non-dismountable options; the second option is not suitable, since the element in it cannot be disassembled and it is difficult to remove such a box. But the vast majority of options on the market are collapsible, so there will be no problems with repairs.

The design consists of three main components shown in the diagram

Number of steps. Depending on the extension length, structures are divided into two-section and multi-section. If everything is clear with the first option, then the second is much more complex in design, so you should disassemble it more carefully. But as for the installation and removal process, there is no fundamental difference; if you understand the topic, you will be able to service all types.

Multi-section options extend to a much greater distance than two-section options

Presence of a closer. This element makes the use of furniture more convenient, because the drawers themselves are pressed to the end and become the way they need to be. Of course, models with a closer are noticeably more expensive than simple options without this element. What you choose in the end is up to you, both solutions are quite reliable, there is not much difference in quality.

The closer is a special plastic block on the outer edge of the structure

The guides also differ in the degree of extension of the elements; there are three main options:

On sale you can find different sizes of telescopic systems:

Tabletop bottle holders

A separate group is represented by stands for bottles, intended for festive table setting and placing bottles of alcoholic beverages in them. These products have an aesthetic rather than a functional purpose. The stand ensures the correct placement of the bottles and should be a table decoration.

Various materials are used to make tabletop decorative products:

• glass ones are used for temporary storage of dishes filled with wine and cannot provide the required temperature conditions for storing alcoholic beverages;
• products woven from metal wire are quite decorative and have a low cost;
• plastic models are intended not only for special occasions, but can also be used to conveniently place bottles on the table, preventing them from tipping over - the temperature regime of alcoholic beverages can be ensured by placing these samples on the shelves of the refrigerator;
• wooden samples are an excellent addition to the festive table setting and are in perfect harmony with the wooden cladding of classic living rooms;
• forged bottle stands are highly stable, harmonize perfectly with candlesticks - an invariable attribute of any romantic party and can be a wonderful gift for any gourmet.

In addition, modern models of tabletop stands for wine bottles can be made from a combination of different materials.

Advantages and disadvantages

Several advantages and disadvantages.

Pros Cons A kitchen in a niche allows you to visually increase the space and save useful space, which is especially important for small apartments. The smell of cooking spreads throughout the room. Since the kitchen area is always visible, it is necessary to maintain perfect order in it, for example, do not leave dirty dishes, keep surfaces clean, etc.

It is a modern solution that allows you to create an original design. In the case of individual redevelopment, difficulties may arise regarding how to move water supply, gas and ventilation systems. Also, such a decision requires registration and approval from a BTI technician.

Purpose and types

The purpose of the design is to store similar containers in one place, so it is usually placed near the stove, and some designs provide for installation on both sides of it.

The original purpose is to store wine. Placing table wines on a special stand made it possible to free up space on the table from bottles.

Over time, this device acquired greater functionality due to progress and improvements to standard designs. The bottle holder can be used for storing food products and is also suitable for storing detergents, towels and all kinds of kitchen utensils. This involves installing the system close to the sink.

Bottle holders are classified according to the following criteria:

Installation method

• Built-in - suitable for installation in any cabinet; you need to take into account the matching dimensions of the kitchen unit and the bottle holder.
• Autonomous - installed in any place, not necessarily in a kitchen set, and are completely independent elements. Therefore, it can be placed in any convenient place: near the dining area or on the wall (next to the wall cabinets).

Design Features

Kitchen bottle holders are divided by the number of levels or, more simply, shelves. A two-level model is considered a functional model, since its dimensions allow optimal placement of bottles.

In a three-level design, this possibility may be limited (due to size), so when purchasing a device, you need to focus on the method of storing food products.

A three-tier one is perfect for small cans and containers, but a two-tier one for bottles.

Built-in and stand-alone

Type of content

Depends on what we are storing - food products, bottles of wine and water, household chemicals and towels, or small dishes? There are combined storage sections that allow you to simultaneously contain containers with cereals and, for example, towels hung on a special crossbar.

The use of bottle holders is convenient due to the retractable system. Pre-installed closers allow you to avoid unnecessary noise and, if necessary, will pull the drawer until it is completely closed.

Various options for functional use of space

How to assemble step by step

After purchasing the cargo design, you need to find a diagram of the device and assembly, which should be included in the box. The work scheme will allow you to rationally use time and streamline the process.

Example: additive scheme for the Quadro bottle bottle

In the process, we’ll look at assembling a side-mounted bottle holder. Installing the lower mount is not much different, the assembly principle is the same.

Step-by-step process for assembling a bottle holder

After we understand the installation method based on the diagram, following it we need to assemble the component elements, if necessary.

We focus on the diagram that goes with a specific type of fittings

First of all, you need to decide in which direction the bottle holder will go, and how convenient it will be to take kitchen utensils or food from it.

Taking measurements to form the box

First, we need to assemble part of the box - the side, where the structure itself will be attached, and we attach the upper and lower parts of the edge, as well as the end, to it.

The next step is to take measurements and mark the distance between future holes for attaching the guides, and cut them. Then you need to make sure that the calculations and marks are correct by attaching the guides and checking whether the holes converge.

We make holes for the guides and check them

If everything is in order, we proceed to installation, attach the guides and install the bottle holder frame itself.

Installation of guides

After that, we close part of the box with the remaining sheet of the selected material, and fasten all the parts with fasteners.

The final part of the box assembly

90% of the bottle holder is assembled. All that remains is to look in the instructions on how to attach the door to the bottle holder, taking into account the features of the fastenings.

Additional Tips

When creating a bottle holder yourself, you cannot avoid some mistakes. But you can take into account tips that can help make it easier in the future.

• Be sure to install a design with closers - they will make the device silent;
• To ensure that bottles or containers stand stable and do not ring when they touch, you can purchase special soft separators;
• Even at the stage of preparing the drawing, be sure to pay attention to the load that you expect to place on the bottle holder. Narrow ones can withstand much less weight (usually no more than 15 kg) than wide systems.
• Do not skimp on high-quality fittings - not only because of the design features, but because of the coating of the material. A high-quality coating on the handle will prevent rust, chips or abrasions.

Mistakes you can make

A common mistake when assembling with your own hands is inaccuracy in the drawings, or making mistakes when implementing them.

At the very beginning of work, it is extremely important to take accurate measurements inside the kitchen cabinets where the bottle holder will be located, and to plan the dimensions of the product itself. Otherwise, a mistake made at the beginning of work can lead to additional problems, wasted time and nerves.

It is necessary to adhere to the exact dimensions according to the diagram during the preparation of the box components. After assembling the bottle holder, you may suddenly discover that the levels were distributed incorrectly - in this case, the design will not work well.

To avoid such overlaps, you can order a drawing from a woodworker, who will also help prepare all the necessary parts before assembly, since this is an important part that requires professionalism.

This ensures smooth operation and subsequent installation of the finished product. It’s not for nothing that professional furniture makers, for whom this is a craft, do such things.
