This pot rack is a heavy duty iron pot rack with a large storage capacity. When it arrived, I could barely lift the package by myself. Working together with my father-in-law, we had it assembled and installed in about an hour using a screw driver and pliers (not included). The assembly instructions were clear, so we had no goof-ups. I've got my pot rack mounted over an island that divides my kitchen from my dining room, where it provides a good visual separation of the two areas without blocking communication between them. It also has excellent storage capacity- -it holds all of my cooking pots and frying pans as well as their lids. I keep some of my extra-large bowls in the rack on top.

Since I'm only 5' 2", I get quite annoyed with most kitchen cabinets because they all seem to be too high to be of any use to me. But with this pot rack, the pots all hang down where I can reach them, yet they're still high enough so that my 6' tall husband can work at the island counter beneath the pots and not bump his head. To reach items on the top rack, however, I need to get a chair because it's about 7' off the ground. If the rack were hung any lower, then the hanging pots would get in the way of the counter, so you really need at least an 8' ceiling to use this rack properly.

I've been quite satisfied with the quality of this pot rack. The price was about a quarter of the one that our kitchen designer had originally selected for us. I can't imagine what extra features the luxury brand might have brought us because I don't see where this one has cut corners in looks or sturdiness at all.

I purchased this rack sight unseen with some trepidation. Mine is the 36 x 18 Chrome model and I could not be more impressed. Easy to assemble with only the installation of ceiling anchors being somewhat difficult for the average person. These must be anchored to a beam in order to support the weight.

I have owned other pot racks and shopped extensively in design stores and on the web for similar products and I have to say that there is, in my opinion, nothing better designed, engineered or constructed close to this rack at even double the price.

I recommend that you measure carefully being buying and use a stud finder or other device in order to ensure that you can hang this heavy rack as location will be dictated by the beams running across your ceiling. Hopefully you will find one that runs across and then location will be easy. Otherwise remember beams are located on 16" centres and once you find one the other will be located directly above the second hanging hook of the rack.

Buy this product........you will not regret it.

After very thorough research I selected this pot rack as the very best & a tremendous value. It looks absolutely great in my kitchen and I was able to empty a large lower double cabinet loaded with pots & pans & lids etc. Which were continually scattered. What a tremendous difference! Everything is right there at eye level. Everyone who sees it, wants to have one. A fairly high cieling is a good idea and measuring beforehand is smart. It can store alot of items in an easy, convenient fashion. It MUST be secured to a good beam or better, a floor joist...you might want a pro to do that if the beams are concealed. My copper rack holds about 30 various pots and pans, and lids, and sizzle platters and everything. Maybe about 150 lbs. And beautifully & functionally. 5 STARS

This pot rack is heavy duty, easy to put together, has lots of hooks, and is good lookin' too. Not only is it nice looking itself, it makes the whole kitchen look good.

I bought this pot rack about 2 years ago and I have to say it was better than I had hoped it would be!!! It is absolutely beautiful. We recently sold our home and the buyers actually loved the pot rack so much they requested that we leave it with the home. So, here I am buying another one. That is how much I loved it! I can't live without one at my new home!

My husband had a little trouble installing my first one because he couldn't find the floor beams in our home very easily. A stud finder solved the problem and within 30 minutes it was completely installed.

I would recommend this pot rack to anyone looking. . .

After searching catalogues, home furnishing stores, and the internet, it was a welcomed treat to find this offered on Amazon. I compared the material this was made of to another popular brandname that sells (same design as well) for $$$ and I cannot for the life of me figure out why the price difference - other than the fact that they are made from different companies. I guess its the name you're paying for but I cannot honestly see any difference in the craftsmenship.

I am so thankful to have found something this handsome to hang in my small apartment kitchen. The shape didn't take any room away from me as it is hung high and out of the way. I was able to free up what little cabinet space I have even more by storing my lids and bowls on the grid.

I'm so pleased with this item that I have another on order - this one hangs from the ceiling and I plan to give it to my daughter. With the price I paid for BOTH pot racks it STILL doesn't come to -half- the amount I would have paid had I chosen the other brandname.

It's such a beautiful thing when you can get quality and beauty at a great price. This rack is strong and stylish. We have it hanging from our kitchen ceiling, which is 15ft high. It wasn't difficult to assemble and put up (although I didn't actually do either, I did watch...though I will grant from the ground, everything looks easy) and it will blend with any decor. My favorite feature is the grid that sits in the middle, where I keep my Pyrex/casserole dishes and pressure cooker. What a space saver! About 25 pots, etc that don't have to be in a cabinet, on a kitchen counter, on the stove or when you're really in a bind for space...in the oven. We get compliments on it constantly. Do note that it does not come with the chains, but a quick trip to your local hardware store will rectify that. I'm very, very pleased with this purchase.

I bought this for my mother for Christmas because she is shorter than 5 foot tall and her house has limited storage space. She was able to clean out two cabinets and it looks great in her country style kitchen. I definitely recommend this for anyone who loves to cook.

This beautiful, stylish, and extremely functional pot rack has been hanging in my kitchen for a little over a year. I wanted something to show off my All- Clad pans, and after exhaustive research I decided on this.
This pot rack is impressive. You can't help but focus on it, and it's gorgeous. One look at this beauty and you can see the workmanship and quality. It's a real attention getter.
I really can't say enough about this pot rack. If you're even thinking about it, then go for it. You'll be happy you did.

Easy to Assemble. Has two types of hooks for pots, pans and lids. Also a rack for a large two handled Pot. Attractive and functional. What more could you ask for? One caution though, you may want to to get a helper when you attach it to the ceiling as it's heavy. In order to center mine, I had to build a wooden ceiling mount to attach the hooks. They (the hooks)are on 16" centers but if the joists don't line up over the area you want to hang it, you may need to do something similar.
