610 Stainless Wall Shelf with Backsplash
610 Stainless Wall Shelf with Backsplash
The shelf above the bench.
Every bench gathers a row of things that should be at eye level and are not. This puts them there.
It is an L-shaped shelf in brushed 430 stainless: a 44 mm backsplash along the rear so splashes hit steel, a flat 218 millimetre shelf, and a 15 millimetre lip along the front that stops a jar sliding off when the bench below gets knocked. There are no dead corners to trap anything, which is why stainless shelving is what commercial kitchens use.
It is rated to 20 kilograms, which is a row of five litre oil tins or the whole spice line with room to spare. A silicone liner in the box goes on top to protect against scratches and noise. The shelf itself weighs four kilograms and comes with the accessories to fit it.

Questions
Will it hold a microwave?
A small one, yes. Most compact microwaves weigh 10 to 14 kg and the shelf is rated to 20, provided the fixings are into studs or solid wall. Sit the microwave centred over the fixings rather than at one end.
What do I fix it to?
Studs are best. In plaster without a stud behind, use heavy hollow-wall anchors. In tile over masonry, drill through the tile with a tile bit and plug the masonry behind it.
Is the backsplash tall enough to stop splashes?
It stands 44 mm above the shelf, which catches what is thrown up from a pan below and keeps the wall dry directly behind the shelf. It is not a full splashback; for that, tile the wall or fit a sheet behind.
Does the brushed finish scratch?
It marks like any stainless, and the brushing hides most of it. Wipe along the grain with warm water and detergent. Avoid steel wool and abrasive powders, which leave marks across the grain that show.
Can two go end to end?
Yes. Two shelves sit end to end to make a run. Give each shelf its own fixings rather than sharing them.
