Bookshelf Rack in Hammered Steel w Chrome

Important info on mounting
As you can see by the other reviews, this is a great pot rack. However I have some very useful information if you want to purchase it. The rack was well designed and the mounts were spaced properly so that you screw the pot rack directly into the studs.

There is a major flaw...the screws that they provide are only 1 1/4 inches long. My kitchen has 3/4 inches of plaster before you hit a stud and the rack is about an 1/8 of an inch wide. That means the screws only bite into the stud a total of 3/8 of an inch. The result...during installation the pot rack ripped itself out of the wall. So I found a better way to mount it.

My solution cost an extra $1.77. I went to Home Depot and I bought five 1/4 by 2 inch lag screws and five 1/4 inch washers. I had previously measured and marked the three mounts on the main unit prior to installation. I then predrilled the holes with a 3/16 inch drill bit. Predrilling is very important, you don't want to split the stud...

Buy this! But get extra instructions.
Like everyone else, I love this rack. One of the benefits of this wall mounted rack, as opposed to a rack suspended from the ceiling, is that you can hang and remove pots without worrying about unbalancing the rack and having things slide around or fall off. The downside is that this rack may be a bit more work to attach. My building is quite old and the wall studs weren't spaced 16 inches apart, as this rack requires. If you search the web for "how to hang a pot rack" you'll get all the extra info you need to deal with this and other problems not covered by the very brief instruction sheet.

Great space saver!
I love this rack! Not only can it hold all your pots, it has a upper shelf as well. I keep my bread up there! It's very pleasing to the eye! Highly recommended! Easy to install too!

Rogar Black Rectangular Pot Rack with Grid 30" x 15"

Good Quality at reasonable price
I just had this pot rack installed and it looks great in my small kitchen. It's sturdy and functional. The finish is matte black with chrome grid, hooks and mounting hardware (all the hardware needed is included... even the ceiling hooks which are not included with some racks). The description here at amazon doesn't say how much weight it can hold. It's made by Rogar and you can get extra hooks at their website. For the price this one can't be beat... I even got it with free shipping from Target. I recommend it to anyone with limited cabinet space.

Perfect for my kitchen
This pot rack was a perfect fit for a rather small kitchen. It is solidly built at a fairly reasonable price, especially compared to other pot racks. The simplicity of design was just what I was looking for; not only are other potracks sometimes excessively decked out in wrought iron, copper, etc., but this seems to be one of the few rectangular pot racks out there (or that I could find). The chains may be a bit short for taller ceilings (brownstones, for instance). A trip to the hardware store could easily fix that, though. My ceilings are about 9 feet high, and I can comfortably maneuver pots on and off.

The only thing you have to be prepared for is the installation. The rack itself, not to mention the pots it will carry, is quite heavy, and as such must be anchored into wooden structural members in the ceiling. If you have a drop-ceiling, you can't just use heavy-duty wall anchors; the rack is likely to rip down your ceiling. If your ceiling is concrete, you may...

Aesthetic and Functional
Luckily for me, the previous owner of the house had a pot rack, so the hook was already in place for immediate placement of the rack to hang from the ceiling. Since I have a high kitchen ceiling, I got some additional chainlink so it would hang down low enough, and voila, it was up and holding 8 pans/pots. I only needed the 8 hooks that go along the perimeter, but they include some additional S-hooks which I haven't used. I have no complaints - it does what it's supposed to do.
