What Others Say
Best basic cooler for the size and price
I had a modest wine collection (50 bottles) sitting in a too-warm garage so I purchased this (on 8/10/08) from Howard's Appliance & TV in Santa Ana, CA, which is only a few miles from my home. I mention this because previous comments focused mainly on shipping damage and not the unit itself. I paid $369 (+ tax) and had the store open my unit for inspection before taking it home. I am extremely happy with unit which does indeed store 47 bottles all in the "cork out" orientation providing all are of Bordeaux shape. I have a few Rhone style bottles relegated to the bottom shelf, so my currently capacity is 45 easy-to-access bottles. It is a good basic cooler that totally meets my needs.

Poor packaging and damaged during shipping!
Terribly weak packaging for such an item. When the first one arrived with every corner dented and the glass door slipped, I asked Amazon for a replacement. Big mistake. The second was equally as damaged as the first. I've received shoes shipped with stronger boxes and better padding.
To top it off, because it's a heavy item, Amazon said they'd schedule the pick-up with a shipper and they dropped the ball too. I had to call Amazon 3 times to get them to arrange the pick-up.
If this had been my first Amazon purchase, it would have been my last. Only because I've been so impressed with Amazon's previous services am I willing to write this fiasco off as a learning lesson.
Important design omitted
Very poor shipping packaging considering its weight and delicate panel finish. Received two units, the second having worse damage than the first. I imagine it's a formidable cooler for the price, but that's as far as I can go. Returned both units.
Beware of shipping damage
This unit is nice, but be certain you inspect it thoroughly upon delivery. The packing is very flimsy for such a heavy unit. The first one arrived dented -- be sure to completely unbox and inspect it before the deliveryman leaves.
