Black & Decker White Hanging / Magnetic Rack System - Shelf with Door

Why I reached for this rack module

I’m picky about wall storage. If it’s going to live in a kitchen, entryway, or laundry room, it needs to be tidy-looking, adaptable, and easy to install without a weekend project. This rack module hits those notes: a compact, satin-white body with a bamboo-front door, a magnetic back for metal surfaces, and a set of brackets that let you connect multiple units into a single run. On paper, it’s a simple idea. In use, it’s a surprisingly capable little organizer.

Design and build quality

The module is roughly the size of a hardcover book turned on its side—about 11 inches tall, a little over 5 inches wide, and just under 5 inches deep. That footprint makes it an easy fit on a side wall, the end of a cabinet run, or the front of a washer. The body is finished in satin white with bamboo accents on the door, which keeps it from feeling purely utilitarian. It blends nicely with both bright kitchens and more wood-forward spaces.

The door closes with an internal magnet and has just enough resistance to feel intentional without snapping shut. Hinges are smooth, and the edges are clean; nothing about it feels sharp or flimsy. At 4.6 pounds, the unit has some heft. That weight reads as “solid” on the wall and helps it resist wobble, but it’s something to consider if you’re relying solely on magnets for mounting.

Inside, the cubby is sized for small pantry items, cleaning supplies, mail, or craft bits—things you’d prefer hidden but still within reach. The front face stays clean thanks to the magnetic latch, with no exterior hardware to catch on.

Installation: magnetic or wall-mounted

The flexibility here is a highlight. I mounted it two ways:

• Magnetic on a washer: The integrated magnetic back grabbed securely on a flat steel panel. With lightweight contents—sponges, clothespins, dryer sheets—it stayed put. As I added heavier items, I watched for creep. On a smooth painted surface, it held fine, but I did make sure the surface was clean before placement. If your appliance is clad in non-magnetic stainless, the magnets won’t work—nothing sticks there—so test with a fridge magnet first.

• Wall-mounted in an entryway: The included drywall screws and anchors made this straightforward. Locate studs if you can, but the supplied anchors handled the module and typical contents without drama. The mounting points are accessible, and the unit squares up easily. I appreciated that this felt like a 15-minute install, not an afternoon.

The kit includes S-hooks and a pair of hook brackets that mount beneath the cubby. Used alone, they give you places to hang keys, scissors, or a brush. If you want a towel rod, those brackets accept a dowel or small bamboo rod (not included in my kit), turning the bottom of the unit into a useful rail for dish towels or twine. That little bit of customization goes a long way in different rooms.

The modular system

This isn’t a one-and-done shelf; the design encourages expansion. Interlocking connector brackets let adjacent modules snap together, aligning faces and sharing a mounting footprint. I connected a second module to test the system. The joinery is simple and secure, and it prevents that “drifting apart over time” issue you can get when two separate shelves are installed close together. A connected run looks intentional and feels sturdier than a scattering of solo units.

The interlock is linear—think side-by-side rather than complex grids—so planning a horizontal run makes the most sense. That said, multiple rows are possible if you have wall space and want a staggered layout for different categories of items.

Everyday use

In the kitchen, I used the cubby as a tidy home for plastic bag boxes and a roll of foil. The door kept the visuals clean; the hook brackets held a pair of scissors on an S-hook and, once I added a dowel, a dish towel. The module’s depth is enough for most small pantry organizers without things tumbling out when you open the door.

In the bath, it worked as a concealed spot for travel-size toiletries and spare soap, with the hooks taking a brush and a small hand towel. In the laundry room, it corralled dryer sheets, a lint brush, and stain sticks, with the hooks grabbing a mesh bag. None of this is glamorous, but that’s the point—the module excels at making the small, constant-use stuff disappear until you need it.

I also liked it in an entryway as a catchall for sunglasses, sanitizer, and spare masks, with keys on the hooks. The bamboo face gives it enough warmth that it doesn’t feel out of place among furniture.

Strengths

• Two mounting modes: Being able to go magnetic or screw-mounted makes it easy to try a location before committing. Starting with magnets to test height and reach, then locking it in with screws, was my preferred approach.
• Clean aesthetics: The satin-white body and bamboo door read understated and modern. The magnetic latch is discreet, with no visible hardware.
• Genuine modularity: The included connector brackets make multi-module runs easy, and they keep alignment tight.
• Useful bottom hardware: The hook brackets and S-hooks add immediate utility without requiring an extra purchase.
• Thoughtful size: Compact enough for tight spaces, yet large enough to be genuinely useful.

Limitations and considerations

• Magnetic mounting depends on your surface: If your fridge or washer is non-magnetic stainless (common on premium appliances), the back magnets won’t hold. That’s not a fault of the module, but it’s worth checking before planning a magnet-only install.
• Weight and load: At 4.6 pounds empty, the module is not featherweight. It’s solid, but if you plan to store heavier items and mount magnetically, be mindful of the combined load and the smoothness of the surface. Wall mounting removes the worry.
• Not a deep cabinet: The internal space is best for smaller items. Taller spice bottles and standard box sizes fit, but family-sized containers may not.
• Dowel not included: The supplied brackets are ready for a rod, but you’ll need to supply your own dowel if you want a towel bar.

Value

At a listed price of $39.99, the module sits in the middle of the home organization market. You can find cheaper plastic options that look utilitarian and lack modularity, and you can spend more on designer pieces that do less. Here, the value is in the combination: dual mounting, a concealed cubby, expandability, and a finish that looks intentional rather than “garage.”

If you intend to build a longer run, the price scales, of course. In that scenario, the connector system’s clean look and ease of installation help justify the spend versus piecing together a mix of unrelated shelves and hooks.

Who it’s for

• Apartment dwellers who want flexible, non-permanent storage on metal appliances.
• Homeowners looking to neaten high-traffic zones—entry, laundry, pantry—without installing full cabinetry.
• Crafters and DIYers who benefit from discrete storage plus hooks for tools and ribbon or twine on a dowel.
• Anyone who values a unified, expandable look rather than a one-off solution.

Final recommendation

I recommend this rack module. It earns that recommendation through an easy installation experience, practical modularity, and a clean design that plays well in multiple rooms. The magnetic backing is genuinely useful for testing placements or for non-committal installs on appliances, and the included hardware makes a permanent wall mount simple when you’re ready. The bamboo-front door keeps everyday clutter out of sight, and the hooks extend the utility without extra cost.

It’s not a deep cabinet, and you’ll want to wall mount if you plan to load it heavily, but those are reasonable trade-offs for a compact, well-finished organizer that can grow with your space. If you need a tidy, expandable way to keep small essentials at hand—and you appreciate a storage piece that looks as considered as the rest of your room—this module is a smart buy.
