This is a wall mount display case, 39" x 39" x 6" with two led top lights and mirror back. Shelves are adjustable and the sliding glass doors lock. There is an on/off switch, but you have to unlock the case to get to it. It plugs into an outlet so I may install an in-line switch or use a timer. The lights are fully swivelable from the outside top.
Four shelves, 38" x 4", 12 bottles per shelf, spaced for 10", 8", 8", 9" - 48 bottles total. All four glass shelves are used, the bottom one just above the bottom frame. I placed clear acrylic picture frame spacing strips with adhesive on one side down the length of the shelves, 1" from the back so the bottles line up perfectly straight. [Nature abhors a straight line, but I don't.] Note: specs say the glass is .27" thick with 67 lbs capacity per shelf.
Installation instructions said to install the two 'Z' bottom brackets with sheet rock anchors, nay, I say. 9 2.5" screws into a horizontal stud. The top with four supplied 1.5" sheet rock anchors plus the center with a 2.5" screw into a vertical stud. Top bracket is slightly lower to contain all weight on the bottom bracket.
Be advised that this is not an inexpensive solution, made worse by current freight shipping costs - it delivers fully assembled.
Installation tips: I cut 3" pieces of the acrylic spacers to lie in front of the permanent strip so I could lie all shelves on the bottom flat but not touching each other (easier to separate, for one). Try not to completely unscrew the brackets, the nuts in the rear left can get swallowed up into the base through a gap in the corner. The tolerance is quite tight, there is 1/4" gap between the top of the tallest bottle on the shelf and the bottom of the next higher shelf.
Due to the HVAC system behind the wall, some of my bottles were 'walking', primarily the top left corner. I heat a block of paraffin wax with heat gun until a film of melted wax is created, swipe the bottle across it and stick it on the shelf (literally). I positioned one improperly, no problem; let cool, give it a twist to break the seal, rub / break the wax off, do it again. You might want to do all bottles if you have a cat in the house or live in an earthquake zone.
