The item arrived damaged, the color is not as depicted online, and the magnets are not strong enough to prevent the knives from slipping/sliding (only knives with a wide blade stay in place).

When i ordered this it was not mentioned that it was on backorder. Couldnt cancel as it was 'preparing to ship'. Quality isnt too bad, just not wanting to wait. Got some nicks on the delivery and the magnet isnt very strong. Pluse the slit where the knife handle sits doesnt match with the magnet so its off.

Not only is it extremely functional it looks beautiful on my counter!

I admit to disappointment! The magnetic grip beneath the wood experience is very weak, and I had hoped to store my special knives securely with the tips facing down... This was not possible with this item... Even assuming that it was intended to store knives with the handles at the base, three was no strong grip or a wide/deep enough troush at the base to allow for safe secure storage of my precious good kitchen knives! I will unfortunately be returning my purchase... I hope a redesign is in the works - with a stronger magnet! It looks lovely, but a simple Angeles exposed magnetic metal stand serves the purpose far better in my humble opinion!

A little dangerous. The knives don't secure well.
