What I really need is a small wall shelf to put something like a coffee mug on. Is the dish area of this flat enough for a mug to stand up?

The soap holder is concave slightly with irregular ridges & long slit-like holes for the water to drain off, I would hardly recommend it for trying to hold a mug with hot coffee. I also doubt long-term that it would hold up if something that heavy were used on it. Russian roulette if you ask me.

It measures about 2-1/2" by 4-1/2" (the inner section of the dish) and as others have said: It is slightly concave and might not be stable enough for a cup - even a small one.

It's not flat being it has drainage ridges which might not allow a mug to be stable even though the weight of the mug shouldn't be a problem. Also the base that a soap bar would sit on seems to be oval and concave. Hope this helps. Dave & Amy.

Well it is flat, but it has ridges to set the bar of soap on with drainage holes below. Not sure if a cup would be stable enough; guess it would depend on where it was placed (i.e. in a spot where it wouldn't be accidently hit).

It is sunken about 1/2 inch deep.....I thought you could cover it by gluing a piece of plastic to lip....but....don't think there's room for a mug....styrofoam cup ok tho.....

Yes. It's quite short. The middle shelf is also glass(which is hard to tell from the photo).

I agree with the other posters. It's too small to be free standing. However, it would work well atop a 36" bookcase or small table.

No, this unit is not intended to be used as a corner shelf. It is clearly designed to be mounted onto a flat wall.

We would support the other comments. It's a big appliance that would lend itself to a built-in shelf, though best suited to a counter-top. Good luck with it -- hope your's isn't grinding like the two we had!

It wouldn't work if you want the mugs to hang below the rack. You could definitely hang them but the mugs would be leaning against the rack.

Yes, it a flat surface I have mine setting on a old low coffee table, and one on top would be nice. I use mine for sheet music. I've been thinking of adding another unit myself.

I gave the shelf to my sister but it would not be good for microwave or anything that heavy. It is best suited for plants or towels. It looks cute but is not that sturdy and not very big. I don't have the measurements but I know it would not be suited for heavy objects even if they did fit.

Yes it does stand up and fits very nicely on a shelf....... An awesome product...

Hi Kelli. The flat piece is 4 inches wide. Should work for bigger mugs I think.

My mug rack is about 23.5 inches tall and about 10 inches in diameter at the base. You add several inches to the diameter after the cups are added. It is too tall to be placed on a counter space which is under an upper cabinet... unless the cabinet is several inches higher than the average. Also, my rack only has 16 holders, not 18 as some reviewers have stated. Not a problem for me because I have 16 Christmas mugs I bought this to display them on.

Each shelf has a lip, about 3/4" high. However, you could always intall a shelf edge-down, to avoid having the lip. Then it would be flat.

This mug holder holds 15 coffee mugs. You don't hang them by their handles. You slip the inside of the mug over the upturned posts. It's sturdy, too, & takes up very little space. I have it on my buffet counter. If you have a cabinet with adjustable shelves, it should fit inside.

The holder is sturdy enough to hold a coffee cup, but it is too tall for many coffee cups. It would hold a bit taller cup.

No, this works well for dishes but the bottom shelves are only about three inches high and would not be tall enough. I have used the single shelf version in my pantry and that will work.

The items do just rest on the shelf with no bottom. It is made of thin steel and mine is very shaky once all the skillets are on it. There are no directions for putting it together and that was a task. If I had the choice to buy again I would pay extra for something more sturdy and decorative. If you have a safe corner, no small children and don't mind the plain look about it then I say it will work but if you want anything more keep looking.

I think it might. I have one in my house that holds a lamp, coffee maker, and small shelf. It's pretty long and wide enough. It is about the height of a regular desk, maybe a bit higher. It is not as tall as a kitchen counter top but not much shorter than one.
