Default Help With Wood Guitar Case Rack

Because of a new purchase that violates my one-in, one-out policy I find my guitar case rack to be too small for my needs. I'm looking on line, but that's not where the best offerings are always found. I want a wooden guitar case rack for my studio. Please show your findings and where they came from. You can post up self-made items but I'm not going to build one as I don't have the time, tools or tenacity to build one. Also, there is no closet in the studio so a "just stick them in the basement or closet" doesn't apply. Likewise I'm not interested in metal, PVC or any other non-wood material as I like the feel of my studio and the natural wood that is there. I believe that the open-minded and worldly members here probably have a hidden jewel among their guitar case racks.

Likely not at all what you are looking for (too small, not the right style), but I have one of these I find useful:

Those are fine but I want to see as many not-easily-found on the internet so I don't just grab the first one available. The problem isn't necessarily the 5 guitars that need to go on this rack but the Calton, and Calton-type cases that take up more room than other cases. Width needs are 31-34". Thanks for your offering.

I have the String Swing also and it has been fine. No special detail work or nicely finished curves but it holds guitar cases and that's the intent. Happy hunting.

I have 2 String Swings and if I needed another rack, I’d get a 3rd. Best deal out there. Available through Amazon with free shipping.

I also have one of these. HIGHLY recommended. You CANNOT beat it for the quality/looks/price. Buy one, you'll like it.

5 String Swings occupied; 1 waiting for my next acquisition. Of course this is the wall hanger version - I don't have that many guitars (or space for that matter).

I have a string swing as well that has served me well though you have to be careful when you lift the case out as it can unbalance the other csses.

Here is another alternative rack that os more pricey and more fancy.

Another vote for the String Swing. Simple, functional, not expensive, looks nice.

Not to beat this horse into the ground, but I'll also be adding another string swing shortly...
