its not that hard to  build /assemble.    there is a video on you-tube showing how to build this or same idea :    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt0imxrGmHg&t=63s

"  This is probably the one I'll go with. "

that is nice....but not much different other than color wise of what I sent you links of....and the one I sent you was a lot cheaper.

Thank you @riley804  now were talking!  I didn't appreciate your comments in the beginning and wasn't going to waste my time in responding BUT you've made the effort  o offer "sound advice" as of late. Regards Mr. Brad. 

Sent you a message....

knollbrent,

The rack you chose from Amazon is probably as good as anything else suggested.

Thanks for checking in @tonykay  as I don't have any experience with this brand or any of the brands suggested. I used to own this rack years ago but it was damaged badly due to neglect in storage. What a shame!

There's no way in hell I'm paying that much ever again for a rack. Looking for something aesthetically pleasing and sound.
