No-Drill Wall Rack for Kitchen, Suction Cup, Stainless Steel, 30, 40, or 50 cm, Adjustable, Water-Resistant, Wall-Mounted Storage Rack | Sansoti

Drill-Free Wall Shelf for the Kitchen with Suction Cups

In a rental home, you often aren't allowed to drill, and you may prefer not to drill into tiled walls either. This drill-free wall shelf hangs on powerful suction cups that grip smooth surfaces such as kitchen tiles, glass, and metal. Press the shelf into place and it's ready to hang - no drill, no wall plugs, and no holes to fill when you move out. The shelf is 30, 40, or 50 cm long; on standard 15 by 15 cm wall tiles, the 40 cm version spans about two and a half tiles, so it stays a compact shelf above your countertop rather than a full shelving unit.

Why suction cups work well here

• No holes in the tiles: Ideal for a rental home or a newly tiled kitchen where you don't want to drill.
• Easy to move: If your kitchen layout changes, move the shelf to another smooth wall without leaving marks.
• Stainless steel: Water-resistant and corrosion-resistant, so it stands up to steam and splashes above the countertop.
• Raised edges: Help keep spice jars and bottles from sliding off when you reach for them.
• Three lengths: Choose 30, 40, or 50 cm to suit the available wall space between cabinets and the range hood.
• Adjustable system: The setup adapts to what you want to place on it.

Where the shelf will and won't stick

Suction cups need a smooth, nonporous surface: smooth wall tiles, glass, and metal all work. They won't create a vacuum on untreated wood, wallpaper, plaster, sanded paint, or tiles with a rough or matte texture, so the shelf won't hold. Clean and degrease the surface before installation - cooking grease is the most common reason a suction cup comes loose in a kitchen - and press the suction cups firmly into place. Choose a length to fit your available space: the 30 cm version fits between two cabinets, while the 50 cm version makes use of an empty wall beside the cooktop. As well as in the kitchen, the shelf can be used in the bathroom or on a work surface, anywhere the surface is smooth.
