Natural wood has character that a screen can't fully capture. Order physical samples to compare wood species, grain patterns and finish options alongside the actual materials and lighting in your space before selecting your wine racks.
Compare the real grain, texture and natural character of each wood species rather than relying on a digital representation.
View your samples under the actual natural and artificial lighting where your wine racks or cellar will be installed.
Place samples beside flooring, cabinetry, paint, stone and furniture to see how the wood and finish work with your space.
Finalize your preferred wood and finish combination before investing in your wine racks or custom wine cellar.
Wood species, natural grain, room lighting and screen settings can all affect how a finish appears online. Castle Brown and Charcoal appear significantly darker in person than they may appear on screen. We strongly recommend viewing a physical sample of the actual wood and finish combination you're considering before placing your wine rack order.
Tip: Move your samples around the room and view them at different times of day before making your final selection.
Order physical samples to compare real wood species, grain patterns, and finish options in your own space. Because wood and stain can appear different depending on lighting and screen settings, we recommend viewing the actual sample before making your final selection.
Choose up to 4 samples. Sample shipping charges are refundable with a qualifying wine rack purchase.

Every wood species brings its own natural color, grain pattern and character to a wine cellar. Compare your options to find the wood that best complements your space and the look you want to create.
Natural Wood
Naturally light in appearance, Pine begins with creamy white to pale straw tones and develops warmer, richer coloration as the wood ages.
Natural Wood
Oak is recognized for its prominent grain pattern and naturally warm tones, giving wine racks a distinctive wood appearance with plenty of visible character.
Natural Wood
Red Grandis is a plantation-grown hardwood with a relatively consistent grain and naturally light pinkish-brown coloration, creating a clean and refined appearance.
Premium Wood
Mahogany brings naturally rich reddish-brown coloration and visual depth to wine storage, creating a sophisticated appearance for more traditional and elevated cellar designs.
Premium Wood
Black Walnut is naturally darker than many traditional wine rack woods, with deep brown coloration and distinctive grain that creates an especially rich finished appearance.
Grain pattern, tone and natural characteristics can vary from sample to sample. Your physical sample is intended to show the overall character of the wood and finish rather than guarantee identical grain or coloration across every component of your finished wine racks.
The finish you choose can subtly enhance the natural character of the wood or dramatically change its overall appearance. Compare your samples in the room where your wine racks will be installed to see how each option works with the surrounding materials and lighting.
Natural
Leaves the wood in its natural state, allowing its original tone, grain and character to define the appearance.
Natural Finish
Adds a finished appearance while allowing the natural color and grain of the selected wood species to remain the visual focus.
Deep Stain
A deep, rich brown stain that adds substantial depth and warmth while allowing the character of the wood beneath it to contribute to the finished appearance.
Very Dark Finish
A very dark finish that creates a bold, contemporary appearance while retaining some of the natural character of the selected wood.
Contemporary Finish
A contemporary finish that introduces cooler neutral tones and can coordinate well with modern architectural materials and interiors.
Digital images are intended as a general reference only. Castle Brown and Charcoal are substantially darker in person than they may appear on a screen. Wood species, grain, lighting and display settings can also change the perceived color of a finish. For the most accurate representation, evaluate a physical sample before selecting your final wood and finish combination.
A finish doesn't exist independently from the wood beneath it. Natural color, grain pattern and the characteristics of each species can influence the final appearance, which is why we recommend comparing the actual wood-and-finish combination you're considering.
Applying Castle Brown to different wood species can produce noticeably different results. The underlying natural tone and grain remain part of the finished appearance.
Comparing samples side by side makes it much easier to see which combination works best with your flooring, cabinetry, furniture and surrounding finishes.
Each species starts with its own natural coloration. Those underlying tones can influence the way a stain appears on the finished rack.
Grain patterns vary between wood species and individual pieces, affecting how light, shadow and finish interact across the surface.
Natural daylight, warm interior lighting and surrounding materials can all change how the same finished sample appears within a space.
Don't choose your wine racks from the stain name alone. Order the specific wood + finish combination you're considering and evaluate the physical sample in the room where your wine storage will be installed.
Finding the right combination doesn't have to be complicated. Use your samples to narrow down the wood and finish that works with your space before moving forward with your wine racks.
Select up to four wood and finish combinations you're considering for your wine racks or cellar.
Place the samples alongside your flooring, cabinetry, paint, stone and furniture to see how they coordinate with the room.
View each sample during the day and at night. Natural daylight and interior lighting can noticeably change how wood and stain appear.
Once you've selected your preferred combination, use it to configure your wood wine racks or begin planning your custom wine cellar.
