What a space-saver! I always have snacks of every kind, and the kitchen starts to look really cluttered after a while! This helped me move everything off my much needed counter space, restoring my kitchen prep area back to what it was intended to be. The anchor plates needed to be slightly bent so they would lay flat against the wall, but it wasn't hard to do and putting it up was relatively easy. Does not come with instructions, but it is a very simple design. You will need a drill to pre-drill the anchor holes, a hammer to hammer them into the wall, a simple level to make sure both rails are evenly mounted vertically, and a phillips screwdriver to screw in the screws at each end. It is rustic and the metal parts look hand cut and soldered. I absolutely love it.
