Arrange the end ladders on the floor so that the bottle support pieces face one another. Align the large gaps on each
end ladder. The end with the larger gap is the top of your rack. Attach a standard column connector to the top
and bottom of your rack using the screws provided. Make sure the connectors are flush with the top and bottom
of your rack. (figure 1)
* Minimize the risk of splitting your ladders by drilling a 1/16" pilot hole before driving the wood screws.
For best results, drive the screw most of the way in with your drill, then finish tightening by hand.
3. Insert the middle ladders and finish securing the top & bottom connectors using the screws provided.
4. Attach the middle standard connectors so that the top edge of the lower connector is 26 5/8" from the bottom
of the rack, and the top edge of the upper connector is 51 3/4" from the bottom of the rack. Secure the middle
connectors using the screws provided. This is the back of your rack. (figure 2)

of the rack, and the top edge of the upper connector is 51 3/4" from the bottom of the rack. Make sure the rack
is flat on the floor while attaching the screwless connectors. (figure 4)
Magnum/Champagne kits are designed to show no visible hardware on the front of the rack. Use of of these following
methods to install the screwless connectors:
For no visible hardware, add wood glue to the inside of each connector notch. Place the connnector on your
rack and carefully press each notch into place. Hold until glue is dry. (figure A)
For minimal visible hardware, add wood glue to the inside of each connector notch. Place the connector
on your rack and carefully press each notch into place. Hold until glue is dry. For added support, use a finish
nailer to attach the connector to the two end ladders and one middle ladder. (figure B)
For a professional installation, secure the connectors using a finish nail gun to drive a nail through the connector
into each vertical ladder. If you do not have a finish nail gun, drive one of the provided finish nails into each
vertical ladder until it is flush. Then, countersink the nail using a nail setter until the head of the nail is about
1/16" below the surface of the wood. (figure C)
(Optional) Purchase Crown and Base molding to cover the hardware of the top and bottom standard connectors
on the front of the rack. (figure D)
