Stemware Rack for a Custom-Finished Kitchen

This Omega National S96 Series stemware rack holds seven stemmed glasses in a solid red oak frame, ready to be stained or painted to coordinate with the surrounding cabinetry before it is installed.

Key Features

• Solid red oak construction provides a stable, consistent surface that takes stain and paint evenly.
• Seven openings suspend glasses at a workable spacing for a standard kitchen or dining setup.
• Unfinished surface lets the installer match any cabinet stain, paint, or topcoat already in the space.
• 30 inches wide by 12 inches deep fits a standard wall cabinet base or a dedicated wine and glass station.
• S96 Series from Omega National, a brand built around ready-to-finish solid wood cabinet accessories.

Where This Rack Earns Its Place

A stemware rack works hardest when it keeps glasses off the counter and out of a cluttered cabinet shelf, storing them inverted where they are both protected and easy to grab. This one is sized for a working kitchen or a small bar area where seven stems covers the everyday set without overfilling the space. At 30 inches wide, it spans the underside of a standard wall cabinet run and leaves the shelf above completely open for other storage. Designers and cabinet shops fitting a glass storage station in a custom kitchen will find the unfinished surface essential: the rack can be matched precisely to the surrounding wood before installation, rather than working around a pre-applied finish that is close but not quite right.

Red Oak, Ready to Finish

Red oak is a dense, open-grain hardwood with a pronounced ray pattern that absorbs stain well and shows the wood clearly under a clear topcoat. It is a predictable finishing surface for an experienced finisher and a natural choice when the surrounding cabinetry is also red oak or a stain-matched species. The rack ships unfinished, which means sanding, staining, and sealing happen in the shop before installation, not after. That sequence gives the shop full control over color match and sheen level and produces a result that reads as part of the cabinet rather than an add-on.

Who This Rack Is For

This is the right choice when the finishing work is already happening in the shop and a pre-finished rack would require a compromise on color or sheen. Cabinet shops building out a full kitchen or bar wall, designers specifying a coordinated wine and glass station, and serious DIYers who want a rack that disappears into the cabinetry rather than sitting on top of it will all get the most out of this SKU. If a pre-finished or painted surface is preferred to skip the finishing step, look at the other variants in this series that ship ready to install.
