Both the width and the height adjust: the span extends from 40cm to 60cm, and the shelf height sets at either 35cm or 40cm, which between them cover the great majority of countertop microwaves including the taller grill models. Setting it up is a matter of extending the frame to the right position and locking it, which takes about five minutes with no tools and no drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.8;color:#2f2f2f;margin:0 0 16px;\"\u003eCarbon steel with an anti-rust coating is the material choice, and it matters. A rack over a microwave lives in the one part of a kitchen that gets steam and heat at the same time, which is exactly the environment that rusts cheap chrome wire shelving within a season. The coating here is a smooth powder finish that wipes clean, and the reinforced shelves carry up to 25kg between them, which is enough for a second microwave, a toaster and a coffee machine on the upper tier if the layout allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.8;color:#2f2f2f;margin:0 0 16px;\"\u003eSix hanging hooks run along the frame for the things that never have a home: measuring spoons, a ladle, a pair of tongs, the oven glove that always ends up behind the appliance.

kitchens, rented flats, home offices with a kettle and a microwave in the corner, and any counter where the appliances have taken over the workspace.

The frame spans 40cm to 60cm, and the shelf height sets at 35cm or 40cm, which covers most countertop models including combi and grill versions.
