Le Cache Semi-Custom Wine Cabinet #36756

• CellarPro 1800H Houdini cooling unit, dual fan speeds: High speed maximizes cooling power; low speed runs at 49 decibels, which is quiet enough for a dining room or living space without becoming background noise.
• Semi-custom lead time: Ships in approximately 2–3 weeks. You choose the exterior stain, interior finish, racking finish and hardware, but production is faster and less expensive than a fully custom order because the cabinet dimensions are fixed.
• Six exterior wood stains available: Unstained, Black Lacquer, Chestnut, Coffee, Driftwood and Mahogany — covering the range from light natural to near-black, which makes matching existing millwork straightforward.
• Triple-deep metal racking, label-forward orientation: Each position holds three bottles neck-out so labels are visible without pulling bottles. The racking is metal, available in multiple finishes and does not absorb odors or off-gas like wood.
• Capacity planning: Standard configuration holds 180 racked bottles plus bulk storage for 2 wooden cases (24 bottles) at the base. Ordering with extended racks brings racked capacity to 204 bottles but eliminates the case storage area.
• Double-pane glass on both doors and side panels insulates against ambient temperature fluctuation and UV exposure on three sides of the cabinet.
• Refrigeration warranty: 2 years covering the entire refrigeration system, 5 years on the compressor specifically. Cabinet itself is covered for 1 year. An extended warranty for the cooling unit is available separately (item #31488).
• Freestanding footprint: 58w x 19½d x 85h inches (without handles). Does not require a built-in alcove or custom surround.

Pairs Well With

• Cooling unit extended warranty (item #31488) — the manufacturer offers extended coverage beyond the standard 2-year refrigeration warranty, worth considering given the cost of the cooling system.

Is the Le Cache Semi-Custom Wine Cabinet #36756 freestanding or can it be recessed as a built-in?

A: This cabinet is freestanding. It stands on a base molding and is finished on all sides, including double-pane glass side panels, so it works as a standalone unit in a dining room, living space or finished basement. It is not designed to be recessed into cabinetry or used as a true built-in. At 58" wide x 19½" deep x 85" tall (without handles), it fits through a standard 36" doorway but will not clear a standard 32" opening without removing doors — factor that into placement planning.

How loud is the cooling unit at normal operating conditions?

A: The cabinet uses the CellarPro 1800H Houdini cooling unit, which features dual fan speed settings. At the low fan speed — the setting used during normal, steady-state operation — it runs at 49 decibels, roughly equivalent to a quiet conversation. The high fan speed delivers maximum cooling power when the cabinet is first loaded or ambient temperatures spike. For a dining room or living space installation, the low-speed operation is quiet enough that it won't dominate the room.

What is the actual bottle capacity, and how does the racking handle wider Burgundy bottles?

A: In the standard configuration, the cabinet holds 180 bottles on triple-deep metal racking plus bulk storage for 2 cases (24 bottles) on the floor of the cabinet — a total of 204 bottles when that floor space is used. With extended racks, the racked count itself reaches 204 bottles. The triple-deep metal racking accommodates standard Bordeaux-format bottles in all three positions. Wider Burgundy or Pinot-format bottles may reduce the per-row count in the deeper positions, so if your collection skews heavily toward large-format or high-shoulder Burgundy bottles, plan capacity conservatively at roughly 15–20% below the published maximum.

What wood finish options are available, and how do they coordinate with darker millwork?

A: Six exterior wood finish options are offered: Unstained, Black Lacquer, Chestnut, Coffee, Driftwood and Mahogany. For integration with dark walnut or espresso millwork, Coffee and Black Lacquer read closest in tone. Chestnut and Mahogany work well alongside warm cherry or medium-brown cabinetry. The semi-custom configuration also allows a choice of interior finish, racking finish and exterior hardware, so the cabinet can be tuned to match an existing room rather than retrofitted around it.

What does the warranty actually cover, and is there an extended option?

A: The cabinet shell carries a 1-year warranty. The CellarPro 1800H Houdini refrigeration system is covered for 2 years on the entire system and 5 years on the compressor specifically. An extended warranty for the cooling unit is available separately as item #31488. The compressor coverage is the figure that matters most for long-term aging use — compressor replacement is the single most expensive repair on any wine cabinet, and the 5-year coverage reflects confidence in the unit under sustained operation.

How long does it take to receive the cabinet after ordering?

A: Typical processing time is 2–3 weeks. This is faster than a fully custom Le Cache build, which is one of the practical advantages of the semi-custom program — you get the finish and racking choices without the extended lead times associated with fully bespoke configurations. Plan delivery logistics in advance given the cabinet's size and weight.
