Grundtal Stainless Steel shelving,pan rack,wall shelf for the kitchen

Grundtal Stainless Steel shelving,pan rack,wall shelf for the kitchenThe overall look is fantastic; tubes of stainless is gorgeous for sure! An added bonus is they pretty much can't get dirty, all dust and dirt and water fall right through the rods!

now for the limitations:

1. the counter-sink holes for the screws are not uniform so the screw heads don't seat flush. minor but it's not as clean as it should be.

2. The tubes are made of very thin metal. I have the 48" long version which exaggerates the issue but even the 31" version will have considerable 'wobble' and 'flex' to the tubes when placing items. even a 2-3 pound load will make the tubes bend and flex. It's most noticeable if you put on a small item that only touches 2-3 rods but has some heft to it; it makes other items rock back and forth that share the same rods.

3. egregious oversight: the width does NOT match the standard spacing of STUDS in the wall, so there is virtually no way to mount this item solidly. wall anchors? please. On mine I was able to put the brackets on with the bracket to the OUTSIDE of the bars which spread the spacing between mounting holes to just about 48 ½ inches so i could get the screws into the STUDS so it's solid.

I added some support brackets under the rods at each 16" and now the shelf is 'as it should be'. I could probably put 200# of items on EACH shelf without a problem. My added brackets don't reach to the very first rod so it's super obvious how wobbly the rods are without the added support. I tried to take a picture but didn't have enough hands.

This is an attractive and well-built item. I mounted it right above my sink, where I can lay sponges, towels, and where it holds a multitude of kitchen tools, thus freeing up the space around my sink and in my previously cluttered kitchen drawers (you'd be surprised how many of your kitchen utensils -even knives -have hanging holes in them!). As long as you measure your intended wall space correctly, you should love this item! Oh yes, you have to separately buy lots of matching "S-hooks" to hang your utensils, and also some screws to mount the item, too (the lack of which is why I didn't rate this item "5-stars"). Enjoy!

This is a sturdy SS shelf, quality throughout. However, be sure that it is the type of shelf you want. The bearing surface of the shelf is 6 SS tubes. This type of shelf is excellent for some purposes, inappropriate for others. I affixed mine above a triple SS sink to use for drying commercial gear after washing and they work great. Would not work for storing small objects, as an example.

Want Grundtal Stainless Steel shelving,pan rack,wall shelf for the kitchen Discount?

We have a very small kitchen with very few cabinets and we love to cook. This shelf serves as storage for all of our stovetop cookware and utensils and looks great doing it. We store big pans on top and hang small pans and utensils from the rails with the Grundtal S-hooks (purchased separately). You can get it all at Ikea for less but if you do not live near an Ikea, as I do not, the extra money you spend purchasing it here will be less than the gas money you would spend driving into the next state to the nearest Ikea store.
