Step 1 · Measure the Under-Staircase Space

Measure the height of the space at the front and back, as well as at the midpoint. Measure the width of the space at the front and back. Measure the depth of the space from the front edge to the back wall. Record all measurements precisely, as these will dictate the final dimensions of the wine rack.
