Could I simply stick this to the side of my fridge (since it has a giant magnet) or does it need to be wall-mounted?

I don't know if it will stick to the fridge. But we are VERY happy with ours, which is mounted to the wall in the kitchen!

The magnetic knife holder still needs to be mounted to something, as the magnet is only facing out/attracting things to it on the side where the knives and other metal objects go. Nice though though! At least that was my experience with it. I did not attempt to put it anything metal first. My guess, even if it did stick, it wouldn't stick enough to hold anything of great weight...ie. the reason for mounting it with screws. Enjoy! I've loved mine.

This needs to be wall mounted, it will slip if you attempt to hang on the the side of your fridge. Also, refrain from hanging knives unless you decide to purchase a more expensive magnetic hanger.

I have not tried to use stick it to my fridge but I don't think it will work seeing as the magnets are on the front to hold apps. I think if you stuck it to your friends with the magnets mental there will be no where to put the knives. I do not think the backside is magnetic.

No, there is no magnet on the "back" ... there are (5) "forward facing" magnets that hold your knives and metal items. It must be mounted with two screws, and I would suggest buying two "wood caps" (available at any hardware store) to cover the screw head/holes. I love this item and am so happy I bought (2) ... One for my knives and one for my garlic press, large spoon, spatula, and other items.-Cheers!

If you are planning on hanging the number of knives that usually hang off of it....I wouldn't depend on it to stick to your fridge. Also - at first I thought the backside was the correct side to hang the knives off of. The magnetization on the backside wasn't strong enough to even allow one knife to hang off it....so I doubt you would be able to get it to stick to the side of your fridge.

I secured mine to a cabinet on one side and to the back wall. The other side butts up against the refrigerator, so yes you can.

I can now answer, as we've gotten ours already. (Very quick delivery for this item compared to others on the Super Saver shipped order.)No is the answer. The magnets face only the one direction. Backwards, it sticks to the fridge fine, but then of course there's nowhere to stick the knives.Very easy mount to the side of the cabinet--we hung ours vertically there, and the knives stay horizontal just fine. I used my own 1/2" screws, but even those threads are a bit too deep as they poke a bit to the inside of the cabinet. It comes with 1" screws and plastic anchors.

The board is not magnetic at all. It is just a sheet of stainless steel formed into a square. It has to be mounted with screws (not recommended for a fridge) or some kind of adhesive.

I would not advise attaching this to the side of your fridge. The weight of the metal plate, plus the weight of the glass jars would rip out the wall of the fridge. If you r fridge is metal, the jars will adhere directly to it. If not, then you need to find a wall space to attach it to. I do not think even the adhesive strips would be strong enough to hold over a long period of time, given the constant tug of removing jars from the metal sheet.

It is a magnet...... Yes both sides stick to metal. :) I put one on the fridge and challenged them to remove it for 5 bucks. I still got my 5 bucks! That sucker is strong!

no, it's not magnetic. You need to mount it to the wall. However, I sticked it to the wall with 3M adhesive tapes (strong one) because I didn't want to mount -_-; though It holds very well. Many of my friend say this is very unique and pretty in my kitchen. You won't be disappointed.

I used a rare earth magnet, like this one http://www.amazon.com/Applied-Magnets-Earth-Neodymium-Discs/dp/B0012AUU84/ref=cm_sw_em_r_dp2_Jpcdsb1MR98FM_tt and super-glued it to the back to stick it to the refrigerator. It works well... and I have 99 magnets to spare! :-)

This product has two powerful magnets to hold it to a surface. Mine is on the side of the fridge and works great. Older stainless steel appliance were not magnet friendly but my new stainless steel appliance do hold magnets. You will just have to check you'd surfac.

I am dubious, mostly because the surface is no more metallic than your fridge (maybe less so). I think the wallpaper would be too much of a barrier. Honestly, I'd hold a piece of the paper up to your fridge and see if a magnet will stick through it...if not, I think this won't work. On the other hand,I think you could definitely paint over this and maybe do a faux finish... that would maintain the magnetic properties, I think. Good luck!

No, this item is not solid on the back, it needs to be hung on the wall. I am using it as a magnet board on the wall because I do not like magnets or any clutter on my stainless fridge.

Yes it can be wall mounted. I didn't as I had a cabinet to put it on. Just hire someone who knows what they are doing on a wall mount.

I took mine to my office and hung it with hooks that go over cubicle walls, but if you glued magnets to part of the wood frame, you could hang it on your refrigerator, you must have an awful big fridge. Good Luck

Peel off the tape or stick the tape to the magnets and stick them on the back of the board. I didn't use mine because it wouldn't hold. You may want to get stronger magnets because they're weak and don't stick on the fridge good. I hung mine.

Joe Even though no wall mount you could probably use double sided foam tape if it needs to be wall mounted. I think there are some vent areas on the bottom and those would just need to be left clear of tape.

It is not meant to mount to a wall. You would have to get creative. Like use an industrial Velcro or other material.

This product has to be mounted, so it would be tough to mount in a secure fashion to a refrigerator. I would not recommend it.
