With the help of Maximilian, our product development team created shelves, grids and rails that you either mount directly to the wall or on special suspension rails where you easily complete and move things around without having to drill new holes in the wall. The rails have room for hooks meant for all the utensils, and also room for the special shelf where you can place a tablet with the dinner recipe at eye's level.

NO SCREWS?ChouNO SCREWS?! WTH. Why is it sold separately?! 🙄 does not make any sense.
Excellent!AnthonyWonderful little knife rack. Welcome addition to our kitchen.
Good size, works greatRobinThis is the second one I have bought. They are the perfect size and hold all sizes and weights. I even have a cleaver mounted on one.
Great purchase AnneLove this knife magnet. Looks sleek and clean and magnet is strong.
Never search for items again!NancyI'm using this to organize frequently used items, knives, scissors, dough scraps. Working great and everything is easy to find and use.
Magnet is not strong enoughVanessaThe magnet was not strong enough to hold up any knives
Can't find info if flush to wallAnonymous reviewerYou would think an IKEA product would have great visual instructions - not so with this knife rack. Confusing bunch of diagrams with two vertical supports - what the heck are these? And plastic spacers are clearly taller than the knife rack interior cavity - which means the darn rack will sit about 3/16" off the wall, i.e. NOT flush. Nothing in instructions, bunch of strange hooked parts and searching online shows ambiguous answers.
And before IKEA replies with some nonsense about consulting the returns counter...I should drive 200 miles to find out if this thing is even defective or not? Driving means I'm taking this thing back! Most online retailers of IKEA's size have easy returns. This plus the dumb splintery hangers mean last online IKEA purchase.
Pieces were missing from packagingAnonymous reviewerWhen I first bought the knife rack and tried to install it there was no magnetic bar included. There were also no instructions, so I didn't even know that parts were missing.
It remained on a shelf collecting dust for months. I'm sure it's a great product, but I'm not sure I'd be able to return it for missing parts.
No screws was a surpriseCorinneI was in the store and picked this up. The assembly manual doesn't indicate what size screws you have to buy. I'm glad I got it but it's not a straightforward installation.
Love this magnetic knife holderAnonymous reviewerI used the smaller black version they sell at IKEA, but i was collecting more knives to get my full arsenal so as not to dull the the knives to death from overuse and misuse. I bought this one and it has been perfect. The length is exactly what i needed and it holds everything and more.
GreatAnonymous reviewerIt is good
Knife magnetLucilleReally strong magnet. Looks great in my kitchen
Superhold Magnet barBarbaraI use these magnetic bars not only in the kitchen but also for tools in my workroom. They have a really strong magnet and the stainless look is nice.
Excellent knife rackFayeThis is an excellent knife rack. The simplicity of the design makes it a stylish choice for any style. The stainless steel is easy to keep clean. The only issue I have is, until you fill the length about half full of knives etc. there is a tendency for the cover to release from the magnet when you remove a knife, not a deal breaker since most people will be filling the length at least half full.
Just what I neededRebeccaGot tired of the block of knives sitting in my counter. Bought this and love it on my wall just behind my stove.
Not for an apartmentElizabethI had to return it. I don’t want holes in the walls of my kitchen because I’m in an apartment. I couldn’t figure out how to hang it otherwise. It was too heavy with what I came up with.
MehJohnI broke/lost parts to mine while trying to install it, and the replacements were not available to order. I will just have to buy a new one next time I feel up to trying.
The magnets are really strong, and it's much less forgiving than most IKEA products as far as having a suitable wall with wooden studs to anchor to. The magnetic pull will rip out the screws if they are not fastened as strongly as intended.
It WILL hold knives if you have suitable wall for it, though.
Great quality Magnetic stripPattyWorks very well and holds up to 11 of my knives! Easy to put together and deft only nice looking!
Great and very easy to usePaulInstalled quickly

Story
Smart storage provides flow in the kitchen
You've also probably experienced this: coming home tired after a long day, knowing that both you and the rest of the family need food as soon as possible. But there are tricks that help make cooking easier. With our wall-mounted kitchen storage series KUNGSFORS, utensils, spices and recipes have their given places on the wall instead of being spread out on the kitchen worktop. With a bit of pioneering we managed to make the wall brackets nicely hidden, too.
When starting to work with KUNGSFORS, we turned to chef and cookbook writer Maximilian Lundin for inspiration. "There are a lot of practical things to be learned from a restaurant kitchen,” says Maximilian. “Like having utensils and ingredients easily accessible so that you have a good flow when cooking, and have plenty of space on the kitchen worktop."
Furnish the kitchen wall
Simplifies cooking
The series is made up of many different products and the project required both time and patience from all involved. The team engineer David Zeberg looks back on the work. "One of the challenges was to make the wall brackets of the rails hidden. But I love projects where we do something pioneering and have to test boundaries before finding the solution." For the chef Maximillian, who is passionate about good food, it was a whole new experience to be involved in influencing people's kitchens ─ the environment where food is cooked. "The positive thing was that everyone in the team was so ambitious about ensuring that KUNGSFORS would help to simplify cooking", says Maximillian.
Material
What is stainless steel?
Stainless steel is found in everything from building structures and cars to sinks and knives. It’s easy to see why it has so many uses. Stainless steel is hard and durable and has good resistance to corrosion – namely rust. It generally has a low nickel content, and for IKEA products we mainly use stainless steel that’s nickel-free. Like many other metals, it can be recycled again and again to become new, hardwearing items – without losing its valuable properties.
Function solution
More space and better flow in the kitchen
When spoons, spices, and recipes have their given and visible place on the wall, you get more space and better flow when you cook. With the KUNGSFORS series, it's easy to create a personal combination and store everything so that items are easily accessible and you get a good overview in the kitchen, just like professional cooks. Place the pans on open shelves, the knives on magnetic racks, and utensils on hooks. Then you have everything close at hand and lots of space to work!
Designer thoughts
Designer thoughts
The most important thing when I designed the KUNGSFORS series was for it to spread the joy of cooking. The series helps you to have kitchen utensils, spices and ingredients visible, which I think makes the kitchen look nice ‒ while it encourages the appetite and desire to cook. I also wanted it to help make it simpler to keep things in order and make cooking easier. The parts can be combined in any way, so they fit both large and small kitchens ‒ and people's different needs.
