This is a must have item for the Traeger. The shelf is very sturdy and is easy to put up and down. The grill cover fits over it with no problem and it only take about 3 minutes to install. The shelf actually gets hot if you have the grill cranked all the way up so it acts as a warmer for your plates, just don't put your beer there.
It’s exactly what it says it is. A great shelf. Minor complaint, he instructions could do a better job, which seems to be a trend item with other Traeger products too, but this is a very simple shelf to install.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this as a gift for my husband along with several other accessories and he said by far this is his favorite. As any bbq person knows you need a large place to put all your bbq tools, spices etc and this shelf delivers that option. It is also very sturdy and not flimsy either so no worries there. A great addition to your grill you will use.
