MAGNETIC KNIFE RACK

As other reviews have already explained, this magnetic strip is very difficult to install – in fact, it's not really meant to be mounted. Even when installed, the strip is anything but secure. The worst part is that the strip clicks into the screws horizontally (you have to slide it slightly from right to left). If it clicked in from top to bottom, like any other object you want to attach to a wall (e.g., picture frames, floating shelves, etc.), it would be much more stable. As it is, the strip is wobbly in all directions and can be easily pulled out of the mounting with the little finger of your non-dominant hand. Only with double-sided tape (in addition to the two screws that are anchored in the wall with wall plugs!) can the magnetic strip be held in place and somewhat securely fixed. The only reason I installed this strip anyway is because the magnet is very strong and can hold my lighter, cheaper knives. I am convinced that certain Swedish furniture stores offer products of similar quality for a minimal fraction of the price.

The plastic strips are impossible to remove; the plastic and magnetic strips are very poorly made. Why isn't there any internal fastening for the magnetic strip? If it's not inserted "correctly," the entire strip won't stay in place. It doesn't hold securely on the wall and wobbles. Knives don't stay in place properly either. All in all, the quality and workmanship are more than disappointing, and the price is far too high. Competitors do much better. Simply disappointing for a WMF product.

Assembly is unfortunately really annoying and the quality is not comparable to other products.

It's very difficult to attach, I can't recommend it.

Tedious assembly without instructions

The price-performance ratio is poor, assembly is very tedious and not user-friendly. The magnet isn't continuous. The plastic click system is impractical. I wouldn't buy it again.
