Tip: I just assembled this rack for x75 Vallejo Paint bottles. I am very happy with this design. Had to use a rubber hammer to make the wooden parts click into each other, very gently. Also added wood glue on the joints afterwards, and making sure the rack was on a flat surface and pointing up at a good of a straight angle as I could. I filled the rack with bottles to add some weight to the structure as the glue dries now for the next few hours. I have another one I will assemble. Will probably put these on a couple of low boxes, so that I also can use some lower Vallejo rack at the front to avoid wasting space on this Ikea drawer furniture. 🙂 Wood material is not as solid as the more expensive ones looks imho, but at least it did not break on me during assembly. Seems sturdy enough.

That's excellent!
The beauty of it is you could store anything, paints, glues, brushes, pipettes, solvents etc.
I'd like to build one myself, I think I'm going to add a slide out drawer in either side to hold extra stocks.

Quick note, this rack is not colored white, more like a light tan. I suppose I could airbursh on some white primer later on. I've been thinking of having some kind of rack for brushes and such, but I haven't managed to come to an agreement withmyself about what I really want. I have a long'ish desk surface with drawers on each side, so that works for now. 🙂
