I needed a utensil rack for the kitchen.My only real concern was functionality, which made my main choice criteria, price.This was the cheapest on offer.It's fine. It consists of a metal bar, with a bracket at each end.The brackets attach with a machine screw.The screws are already in place in the bar, when it arrives.None of it is magnetic. I'm not sure what metal alloy it is made of (most likely a mix of Aluminium, Zinc and Nickel), but it hasn't any iron content. So, although it is listed as stainless steel. It isn't.However, it is strong enough for its purpose, and as it contains no iron will not rust, so for me, this is not an issue.It comes with 8 hooks. The hooks have a plastic insert, which means they are silent on the bar. A nice touch.Make sure you slide the hooks onto the bar before you attach the brackets.It comes with 4 wallplugs, 4 screws, 4 x 2 part caps, as well as 2 stickers and a small tube of sealant.The stickers and sealant/adhesive are for if you wish to attach it without drilling holes. I'm not a fan of that method. I attached mine with the screws, so I can't comment on the strength of the adhesive.It's probably fine, but you will have to make sure that the surface is totally clean and grease free. In a kitchen that will mean a proper wash with detergent and letting it completely dry before attaching.As I said, I screwed mine on.The supplied fixings are fine. In a solid wall, you need either a 5.5mm or a 6mm masonry drill bit for the wallplugs.If you're screwing into a plasterboard wall, I wouldn't go bigger than the 5.5mm and depending on what you plan to hang off it, you would probably be better using a purpose made plasterboard fixing.Make sure you have it level before you mark your holes.When you put the screws in, remember to put the bottom of the cap on first. The top cap will then just push fit over this. (Photo).Overall, I'm perfectly happy with it. I've awarded it 5 stars, as, even though its not what you would call well engineered and stylish, it does perform well, and at the time of purchase, is the cheapest option on Amazon.I hope you found this review helpful.
