Cheap wine racks

[Fat Guy]

At some point I must have claimed to be the office manager of my "office" (which is sort of true) and today I'm on about a hundred mailing lists of office-supply and related companies. I always know which pieces of mail resulted from Company Zero's distribution of my name because they are addressed to "Shaw Steven Attorney at Law." I even get sample products with that imprinted on them: My "Shaw Steven Attorney at Law" pen is one of my most valued possessions.

Anyhow . . . I got a catalog recently from Shelving Direct, and before I threw it out I flipped through it. It's amazing how many shelving options the modern corporation has. It's nice that people are out there thinking this stuff up. One thing I noticed was a page of utilitarian wine storage stuff, and the prices seemed exceptional to me:

Go to

click on "Storage Room" and then "Wine Racks"

Man, I was really thinking this was an incredible bargain until I saw the disclaimer, "Bottles Not Included."

Rats.

Yeah, the prices do look good, but then they get you on that rubber mallet you have to buy to put the damn thing together.

What you don't have a rubber mallet? You must not install very many hubcaps.

OK - I just bit the bullet and bought the wine racks from Shelving Direct. Our concern is more for storing wine on its side for drinking, not for long term storage of valuable bottles. The shelving will line a wall of our guest room. Yes, I bought the rubber mallet. The prices is similar to Home Depot and Sears so I figure I may as well have it brought to our home all at once. Will let you all know how the assembly goes next week.

YOU BOUGHT THE RUBBER MALLET!?!?!?!? I thought it was supposed to be free with online orders. Or is that only if you outfit a whole warehouse with the shelves?
