The motif plate was thought of me as a protection for the hob and cooking / frying as a splash guard the wall just above the stove. The design itself is quite nice, but the plate is heavy and unwieldy. It takes the disk to use, inter alia as a cutting board a very large kitchen with plenty of workspace. The supplied feet are m. M. by far too high - looks ugly. The feet broke away again when installing the plate and lean against the wall due to the size and weight of the plate also troublesome. For around 40 expected a "kitchen helpers" and nothing that causes more work. The board went back on the same day.
