Love these! We didn't follow the instructions for hanging. Given that this is holding a lot of our glasses and nice bottles, dry walls screws didn't feel sufficient. We drilled our own holes and hung on the studs. We've gotten a lot of compliments on them. I didn't notice a strong smell like other reviewers. My only complaint is that for the piece with the glass hanging part, the boards aren't flat so some of the glasses hang at an angle and you can't put wide glasses in two rows next to each other. Easy enough to work around, though.
