Galaxy Pistachio Green Wine Racks Cabinets

All are 12 inches deep, like every upper in the line. Prices on the review date:

The columns are finishing pieces: they sit at the end of a run, full height, and show a handful of bottles. The bands are building blocks. None of the listings publishes a bottle count; count the openings in the product photograph, and ask us if it is unclear.

The wall run in this line comes 30, 36, 39 and 42 inches tall. The catalogue also sells short doored uppers — the boxes normally hung over a range hood or a window — at 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 inches high. Put an 18-inch rack band on the hang line and one of those short boxes directly above it, and the pair lands exactly on a standard height. The top line of the run carries straight across; the rack reads as part of the wall rather than a thing hung in a gap.

At 30 and 36 inches wide, every standard height can be built this way. At 18 and 15 inches, one each:

Two things stand out. The stack costs roughly $269.75 to $451.75 more than the plain box it replaces, so it is a feature, not a free swap. And at 36 inches wide, the step from a 36-inch-tall stack to a 42-inch one is only $81.25, because the short uppers climb gently in price. If your run is tall, the stack is not much more than in a short kitchen. The short uppers are on the double-door wall and single-door wall pages.

Either order produces the same top line, but only one works day to day. Put the rack at the bottom, on the hang line, and the bottles sit at chest to eye height: you can read a label, pull a bottle out and slide it back without a stool. The doored box above holds the things a bar uses less often — spare glasses, a decanter, a shaker, the bottle opener that lives in a drawer everywhere else. Reverse it and the bottles are above head height, which is awkward for a heavy object you are pulling out by its neck.

Two practical notes on the stack. It is two boxes, so there is a horizontal joint where they meet, 18 inches above the hang line; that line will not align with anything in the doored boxes beside it, so it helps if the stack is the end of a run or a bay of its own rather than sandwiched between ordinary uppers. And both boxes hang independently on the wall, so the installer needs to know it is a stack — tell us, and it goes on the drawing that way.

Many people who like this green are unsure about a whole green kitchen, and the resale question is the usual reason. A bar is the answer that sidesteps it. A single wall of this finish in a dining room, a family room or at the end of an otherwise white or wood kitchen gives you the colour in a contained, furniture-like piece — and a buyer who dislikes it is looking at one wall, not a room.

Built from this page, a compact bar wall might be a 36-inch stack of GPG WR3618 and GPG W3624 at $975.00, with a stemware rack under it — GPG STMW36 is $425.75 on the stemware rack page — for $1,400.75 in uppers before the base cabinets below. A 30-inch version with GPG WR3018, GPG W3024 and GPG STMW30 ($403.00) comes to $1,296.75. Add a 6-inch column at one end if you want a vertical accent; at the 42-inch height it is $341.25.

The one place the colour changes what you see in the rack itself: most red wine comes in dark green glass. Against a pale rack that glass reads almost black and the bottles become the pattern. Against a gray-sage it reads as a darker, richer version of the cabinet, so a full rack looks tonal — layered greens rather than dark holes in a light box. That is handsome in a lit bar and a little flat in a dim corner.

Two things lift it. White wines and rosés in clear or pale glass break the tone up and bring light into the rack. And a light above the stack does the rest; the cabinet lighting page carries puck sets sized to the box above, from $97.50 for an 18-inch cabinet to $146.25 for a 36. To see the tonal effect before ordering, hold a green bottle against a door sample ($25.00) in the room where the bar will go.

Decide the top line of the wall first, then choose the rack band and the short upper that meet it, rack at the bottom. Add the stemware rack if it is a bar. Check which ends are exposed; wall end skins are $50.05 each on the decorative accessories page. Then send the elevation through a free 3D design — a designer replies within one business day, and the full design and quote follow within 24 to 48 hours. Galaxy boxes ship pre-assembled, typically in 7 days to 3 weeks. Trade buyers save 20 to 40% through Captivating Pro, and the whole finish is on the collection page.
