Customer Review: Absolutely perfect.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have an incredibly small kitchen that's just finishing a remodeling two years in the making. Since no walls were knocked out, utilizing every square inch of space is still a priority, and this knife rack does it in style.
But since the kitchen's so small, you might be wondering why I went for the bigger knife rack. That's cause the place I intended to put it is on a cabinet that butts up against the cooktop. The cabinet's the traditional 24 inches wide, so this rack centered perfectly in that space, and enabled me to toss the counterspace-eating knife block.
Stainless steel's a big component in this remodel, so this knife rack fits in perfectly. I put it up myself, so let me warn you - it's HEAVY. I drilled two holes at the right height, but for the life of me, I couldn't screw in the rack towards the backsplash. A hint you might helpful is to use masking or painters tape to tack up the center of it until you can drive the screws in (leave the easier screw out a bit so you have room to maneuver; when the back screw is in, you can tighten both.) See? All those hours watching home improvement shows weren't for naught!
The one thing I found a bit puzzling was the "S" design in the rack. I couldn't tell from the pictures if that was a recessed or raised design. Well, if you were wondering, let me tell you it's a cut-out S. At first I thought if it was raised, I'd only have enough room to store the knives between the raised design, but because it's just an incised figure, you can put as many knives on this thing as you can jam! (There are two magnets, the long, thin, horizontal strips that frame the S design.)
The knives are held firmly, but it's easy to remove them with little effort. I know some folks seem to be having a problem with it. I'm scarcely Superman, and I have no difficulty pulling them from the rack without beheading anyone.
If you have the space, go for the 20 incher. You'll save $20 over Amazon's suggested retail, and it's a better buy than the smaller model.
I highly recommend it, esp. if you want a design statement that adds to the appeal and space demands of a small kitchen.
Description of MIU France Stainless Steel Magnetic Knife Holder, 20-Inches
Stainless Steel 20-inch Magnetic Knife HolderThis handy knife bar keeps cutlery within the chef?s reach above a busy prep station but still safely out of reach of little hands. The 20-inch bar is long enough to hold an entire collection of kitchen knives and is ¾ inch wide and 2 inches thick for supporting wider blades, such as cleavers. The bar is magnetic to securely hold knives, but is encased in 18/10 stainless-steel to lend an attractive accent to your kitchen. Screws for mounting the bar are included. --Cristina Vaamonde
