Stair liquor bottle displays can be used on bar tops or inside liquor cabinets. Tiered displays create a means for displaying liquor bottles and specialty items and keep bottles within easy reach. Creating a movable liquor display can provide bottle access whenever and wherever a bar is needed. Move the bottle display from an indoor location to an outdoor patio or even use it off-site when setting up a bar for a neighborhood or business function. Tiered bottle displays can be built as one long unit or in separate smaller units.

Step 1

Decide the dimensions of the tiered display. For example, a 3-tiered display holding 12 bottles can be built using an overall width of 17 inches and an overall depth of 12 inches. Each step rises 3 1/2 inches with a depth of 4 inches.

Step 2

Build the display in graduated platforms that stack one on top of the other. Design the platforms using the dimensions established in Step 1. Use wood or Plexiglas to build the platform and the appropriate construction tools for the chosen material.
