    I don’t know that I would go so far as a describing it as tensetrity, but the majority of the load on the shelves is held through the I/J hooks in between the bottles. The bottles are there more for stability.

      Those are just pulling the shelves together and putting more pressure on the bottles.

      This shelf is designed with “sit in a chair and fly by lifting the chair” logic.

        I think we’re in agreement in both those regards.

        I meant stability in the sense that it’s preventing shelf rotation. It does the job I guess, but I don’t see this being a particularly long-lived piece of furniture.
