Holder of all things: ample storage for your favorite tools and up to three knives.

Modern design that complements any countertop, keeping everything organized and easy to reach.

The perfect update to the standard utensil holder and knife block.

Wish both sides were magnetic! But I guess I understand...

Aesthetically this piece is super sleek, well designed, and well made no doubt about it. And yes, aesthetically I understand why they only have the magnetic on one side but it does feel like that would have been a great option to at least include. Right now I have 1 chef knife 180mm and a small petty knife 120mm. That's probably all the knives I'll be keeping on this base lol, but would have loved the option to for more magnetics or have it be double sided magnet.

Beautiful Storage

Love this base. The wood is beautiful and the piece is so nice and heavy. The quality of Material's products are what attracted me in the first place. This piece is functional and really beautiful in my kitchen. I love the magnetic strip to hold some of my knives and shears.

Beautiful Functional Organizational piece!

It is very well built and I am able to store several different kitchen utensils that were taking up a full drawer. Now they are so easily accessible when cooking. And we have two large chef knives on the inside of the knife block. The only thing that could make this piece even better is to have magnets on the other side of the knife block piece to give extra knife storage :)
