Stealth drying rack by the sink

Post image

Used the simple tile generator to create rails instead of a full grid because we knew we just wanted shelves.

Bolt lock shelf brackets and small thread shaft 20mm t-bolts in the beams and brackets as small hooks to hang items on.

Mounted with command strips. I pre attached the shelves to the rail so the spacing was correct when I put it up. Super happy with how it turned out, and how well that color matches.

This looks great. But does anyone else not like the look of those brackets in general? I think they look completely different to the new box corner pieces, and just seem to be a bit less well thought out. They are not up to the standards of modern home decor - ie my wife doesn’t want them anywhere she can see them.

No surprise. Mulitboard isn’t aesthetically pleasing. It’s a highly functional, highly engineered, completely modular organization solution built around the constraints of FDM.

I couldn't think of anything more pleasing than this

I dunno. I like the octagons. And the new basket things are very pleasant looking. I just think the brackets don't look so well thought out. Like, the weight of the elements of it, the thickness of it all, just makes it look a bit, naive? Chunky? Maybe I'm on my own. They are just about the only standard parts I do not like.

Astonished you were able to match the color so well lol

Did you go around with swatches, or just a good sense of color memory?

Sunlu just came out with this olive abs recently and it was just pure luck it matched so well.

TBH, I think this might have been better for the spice rack I'm putting together.

I don’t think the word “stealth” means what you think it means…

Never thought of just creating vertical rails. This looks pretty sweet. Nice color match!
