The steel is nice and the tray slides out smoothly, no argument there. But it is 2.8 inches deep and on my narrow backsplash it sticks out enough that I bump it reaching for the microwave. It holds knives fine, I just did not think about the depth.
It does what it says and the removable tray is genuinely nice. Problem is I wanted it on painted drywall by the pantry and the rails will not hold there at all, they peeled off overnight. On the tile backsplash it is fine. Wish that was clearer up front.
First spot I picked was right above the hob and within a week the adhesive was greasy and starting to lift. Moved it to the other wall, cleaned the tile well, and it has been solid since. Learn from my mistake and keep it away from the cooking grease.
I eyeballed the space above my sink and it is tighter than I thought, so it sits lower than I wanted and my tallest knife handle almost touches the faucet when it is swung over. The holder itself is fine and sturdy. Just actually measure before you order.
I keep a lot of wet utensils in here and on a heavy dish night the tray fills up faster than I expected, so I empty it every couple of days. Not a dealbreaker, just noting it. Otherwise it looks clean and the steel matches my faucet.
Works well and holds a real load, no complaints there. My only issue is my tile has deep grout lines and one rail sits partly over a groove, so it does not feel as locked in as the other side. Still holding after a month, just something to look at before you stick it.
We eat with chopsticks most nights and they were always rolling around in a drawer or drying on a towel. Now they stand up in this and drip into the tray. My husband even puts his coffee spoon in there.
I was skeptical about no drilling holding any real weight. Six weeks now with three knives and spoons in it and the rails have not budged. I did wipe the tile with alcohol and let it dry before pressing, which I think mattered.
My counter is about two feet of usable space and the knife block ate half of it. This freed that up entirely. I put it on the backsplash to the right of the sink and it is out of the way when I cook.
I was worried 6.9 inches was too narrow for my stuff. Turns out I fit four knives, a pair of kitchen shears, and five chopsticks with room left. The body feels solid, not thin or tinny.
My wooden knife handles were turning black at the base from sitting in water all day. Blades down, handles up, and the drip tray catches what runs off. Two months in and the handles still look like new.
Got one for the kitchen knives and liked it enough that I ordered another for the bathroom to hold a razor and a comb. Same idea, keeps the wet stuff off the vanity. The steel wipes clean and does not show water spots badly.
I taped off 6.9 inches on the wall before ordering because my space between the outlet and the window is tight. It slid right in. Holds my wooden spoons, scissors, and a paring knife without crowding.
I rent and I am not putting holes in tile I do not own. These rails press on and the whole thing lifts off when I want to scrub it. The tile has to be clean and dry first, I learned that the hard way with a different sticky thing.
Every holder I looked at before had a tray you could not get to. This one slides right out of the frame so I tip the water in the sink and rinse it. I keep three chef knives and six pairs of chopsticks in it and nothing leans over.
I had a cup on the counter by the stove that was basically a puddle with chopsticks in it. This moved everything up on the tile and the little tray catches the drips. Took me maybe three minutes to stick the rails on and hang it.
