I think this is an excellent use of space!

(I might use it for shoes/boots though).

@lolakimono

Clever idea, enjoy seeing options for stair usage.

That’s a bunch of wine 🍷. YUM 😋

@lolakimono. Is that able to keep it cold? 🍾🍷

@SloopJohnB

That would be "extra."

I doubt that would be good for the stairs if they're made out of wood.

@SloopJohnB I was thinking the same thing. I guess it's used like a larger scale wine storage rack, just under the stairs. Unique, that's for sure.

But if I'm going to go through the effort of building a real wine cellar, it must be temperature controlled.

@lolakimono Exactly. But I'll drink to that!

@Caaareful Shopper Yes. I agree about the temperature controlled. 🍸🍷🍾

@lolakimono WOW, what a great use of stairs. I, like you, would use it for shoes.

I see only one problem with this.

The drawers are mostly empty.

I like stairs as stairs, this isn't for me.

I am partial to dry reds at room temperature so would work perfectly for me. I'm just mad I don't have stairs!

Unique & practical. I'm with you though @lolakimono .. I would also use for shoes. Thanks for sharing.

@lolakimono If one did partake of its literal contents, they would have a good excuse to say they were "falling down drunk." 😜

Pretty clever! I'm not a wine drinker so I'd use them for shoes also.

Could be a good idea but what aobut temp control. Are not wine drinkers not concerned aobut this?

Agree with those of you who question temperature control. Bad idea to store any wine in the house unless it is in a controlled temp room/wine frig. We are fortunate in the northeast to have basements that stay around 55-60 degrees all year long. That's where all our wine is stored. DH is a wine connoisseur and would faint if someone actually used this storage for their wine, LOL. I can see using it for other storage though!

Cool idea as long as someone doesn't forget to close a drawer completely. Wouldn't want to take a header down the stairs.

Interesting but I would rather have the wine cellar in a room.
