4.0 out of 5 stars It DOES Hold Heavy Books, January 16, 2009

By 

Lori W. "Cow" (CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Umbra 330201-158 Cooknook Cookbook Holder, Chrome (Kitchen)

I ordered this from Bed Bath and Beyond. They sell it for $1.00 more (if you were curious). The item looks exactly as pictured, and it is durable. It does require 11" of clearance (flipping it down and back up into 'hiding'). Things to keep in mind, this WILL and DOES hold heavy books despite the impression given by a previous reviewer. The thing is, you need good cabinets that were built properly (for lack of better words). Many older cabinets use a pressed wood 'flooring' which is too thin and will result in the screw popping up through the wood. Having that said, check to make sure it will fit in its stored position under your cabinet, and just check the thickness of your cabinet bottom. You could probably use smaller screws to accomidate older cabinetry, but I am not sure it will be as sturdy.

My cabinets are 5 years old, so it worked well for me and I can use very large books with no problems whatsoever.

My only complaint (which isn't really one) is that it doesn't just flip up and down, you have to pull two rods apart to do so. It's nothing major, I just assumed it would flip with ease.

At this price, it's a great kitchen tool and an excellent bargin. I plan to get some extra ones as gifts for my friends and family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for small kitchens, September 15, 2008

I have a galley kitchen and need every bit of counter space I can get. Having a place to put cook books and recipe cards gives me more space, and puts recipes at eye-level.
