Rosle 39.4" Basic Rail



It is what it is.
Bought this as part of my kitchen renovation.

Pros
-It looks good and it's sturdy.

Cons
-$43 for a flat piece of stainless steel bar stock with three holes and rounded ends? Are you kidding me? Even the Rosle can opener with moving parts costs less.

If I was going to make them myself, this is how I would have done it.
Of the few kitchen-wall-rail systems out there, this one happened to fit the small wall we needed to hang cooking tools on. They're extremely well made, surprisingly heavy gauge, nicely finished, stainless steel & they look pretty good as well.

The only down-side is they leave your wallet feeling a bit violated.

I would buy them again unless I had enough time to make them myself.

Expensive, but good
This rail system is expensive, but we've been happy with the way it lets us organize stuff in the kitchen. I ordered sample rails of a couple of different systems, and found this one the most aesthetically to my taste of the ones I saw, and the hooks that you buy for it work well. (We mostly just use hooks. Our other attachments are the paper towel holder, which we like, and the cookbook holder, which I turned out to use less than I expected and took down - it just didn't provide enough benefit to be worth the prime real estate it took up.)

Note that if you have "plugmold" rather than regular electrical outlets, you'll want to make sure that this isn't positioned to interfere with being able to plug things into the plugmold.
