30" Over-The-Range Shelf/Display/Ledge/Rack, 3.5" deep (Black)

The shelf is EXACTLY what I have been looking for to install above our stove. When we replaced our old range with a newer model a few years ago, we lost the storage space above the console of the stove, since the new one is curved, and nothing will stay put. I've looked at various spice racks, but I wanted something really simple and utilitarian. I have it mounted just about an inch and a half above the range, and all of our common seasonings fit easily. The stainless matches our stove nicely. Now I just need to replace the fan/hood to match as well. The depths of the shelf is enough for even some larger spice jars, or bottles.The shelf is 18 gauge steel, and there is no way that it is going to bend under the weight of a few spice jars. The reviews that indicate that the shelf sags are almost certainly from people who mounted it to the wall with just the two screws that come in the package, and without wall anchors. Unless you are lucky enough to have wood joists in the perfect spot, you will definitely need to use wall anchors to keep the screws from sagging. When mounted properly, the shelf if very sturdy. I would have dinged it one star for not including the wall anchors, but they are such a cheap fix (pennies), that I didn't think it was worth it. But the manufacturer should really include these.

I really love this over the range shelf! It's very sturdy, and simple looking. I was able to take all of my spices in glass jars (which is a lot!) out of the cupboards and stack them on the shelf in two's for each spot. Mine is packed full and it's really sturdy. So the people that say it's not sturdy, it makes me wonder what they used to fasten the shelf to the wall!The shelf didn't come with any hardware to install it. I used wall anchors I had handy on mine and that worked great. I couldn't pull it off the wall. Studs or wall anchors are the way to go. If you just use screws it's not going to be sturdy.All in all, the shelf is sleek, sturdy, and looks great. It should come with different options, screws, wall anchors, ect. $40 for a metal shelf and you should get the fixings too. I think mine was a mistake though because the store page says it does!

Looks great and holds regular spice bottles. Picture shows these with vintage Tupperware spice holders which also nest up nicely. We used a tile bit on our drill which only cost us a few dollars For a very sturdy and satisfactory mounting. Follow the directions to mist with water on the drill bit while you hang it. If you like you can install a few extra big holes if you want to put heavier bottles such as liquid containers.

Makes great use of an empty spot between the range and hood. A collection of artisanal salts is now easily accessible but not cluttering the counter. The stainless steel will be easy to keep clean and looks great with the matching appliances.

They suggest using anchors, but sometimes, your sheetrock is just too flimsy to support a heavy steel shelf loaded with spices with a couple of anchors. In my opinion, this should be mounted to a stud, no questions asked. The pre drilled holes, however, were not lined up with our stud so we had to drill a hole through this very hard metal. I've loved it since we got it mounted.

The stainless is nice, great even. The edges are cut on a 45° and ok. No mounting hardware was included. Thankfully had some drywall anchors and screws on hand. But now I have exposed fasteners so much less of a clean install - guess I'll hide them behind some spices.Also this definitely should have came with a protective film for removal after installation to prevent scratches.

I looked a long time before finding this 30-inch steel shelf just right for over the stove. We first put up a 30-inch stainless steel backsplash above the stove, and then attached the shelf on top of the backsplash with screws. So nice having my frequently used spices right at hand when cooking. The shelf does have fairly sharp edges on the ends. However, we installed the shelf between two cabinets, so this is not a problem. Very sturdy shelf. We are quite happy with this purchase.

Good quality and quiet fan

It looks nice and ties in well with the stainless steel appliances. But everything gets hot on the shelf when you use the back burners.

We removed a microwave, installed the hood and there was an empty spot with no backsplash behind it. The shelf was a nice idea for this spot, it fits perfectly under 30" hood. But the price is a total ripoff, especially in Canada. They really take advantage of the lack of other options. Really, Amazon?

Keeps spices handy over the stove and easy to clean. Sturdy and strong. Looks great.
