Old Dutch Wall-Mount Bookshelf Pot Rack with Grid & 12 Hooks, Graphite, 36.25" x 9" x 11.5"

I was very pleasantly surprised when I unboxed this rack to discover how sturdy and well made it was. The finish was beautiful, a dark oil rubbed bronze that matched perfectly with my other bronze items throughout the house. It comes with a dozen hooks, half hang straight while the other half hang at 90 degrees. This combination worked perfectly for me because I hang my pots flat against the wall but hang my skillets sideways (perpendicular to the wall). The grate offers near endless hanging options so you can perfectly space out your items exactly the way you want. I was able to hang all of my pots, pans, and skillets and will use the top shelf for cook books and maybe some seasonal decorations. All in all I couldn't be happier with this purchase.Installation was fairly straight forward. Everything you need is provided. The manual does state that it is required to mount directly into studs, no hollow wall anchoring. 4 large lag screws with bronze heads are provided to secure the rack to the wall. All the holes are predrilled so all you need to do is level it and mark your holes. I was very fortunate that the space I wanted to mount this worked out perfectly with stud placement. That would be my only concern, if you plan on buying this, make sure your studs allow for mounting in the area you want or risk mounting using hollow wall anchors which, as mentioned earlier, is NOT recommended. The rack is heavy on its own, plus you are going to be hanging several items from it.

First off, let me start by saying, I have a tiny kitchen, (less than 90 sq ft). So, basically, space saving devices are essential. As you can imagine, with such a small room, cabinet space is a bit tight, so anything that can get items up and out of my working space is a must. This hanging pot rack does just that, and may be one of the best space saving upgrades I've ever had the pleasure of purchasing. A gift from my husband, this item has really paid its way by making my small cooking space much more usable. So far, after over a year of having this in my kitchen (actually, to be more exact, adjacent laundry room), I have had a good opportunity to assess the longevity of not only the product, but its installation hardware.Not only is the hardware provided more than adequate when fastened into studs (as you can see by the picture, I loaded it up), but the item itself has been incredibly durable. Designed with 32 inch spacing between the lag screw holes, it can span three studs and screw into the outer two for a strong and secure mounting. I can't speak for situations where it would be mounted with expansion anchors or toggle bolts, but in studs, this thing is solid.Onto the finish. The plated metal coating has been remarkably durable, and after a year of use, I have seen no discernible wear. Well applied, the coating is thick and also attractive with no inconsistencies that I could find upon inspection. As for the design, I can think of nothing that would add to the usability. Not only does the heavy hanging grid provide ample space between pots, but it is also as durable as the framing itself.Another great feature, is the ability to store objects on top of the apparatus itself. Now, in my set up, I don't actually use the top for storage, but nonetheless, it is a nice feature (I'm not super tall and due to space constraints, I wanted to be able to access the space below without striking my head on heavy iron pots). While I did mount my rack high, and could store lesser used objects atop, I prefer the non-cluttered aspect of leaving it, for the most part, bare.All and all, I would completely recommend this product for those of you with a small kitchen, or anyone with a love of both function and aesthetics. Not only is it a handsome design, but it fulfills a strong utilitarian purpose. For the money, this item is bar none, an excellent value for its particular wall mounted application and quality. Without a doubt, this is a kitchen upgrade I would by again, as I could barely live without it.

This is a solid and well-built rack with a nice area for kitchen books or decor! Nicely designed, it goes together very well and is firm and secure. We are very happy with the looks; it's a really nice addition to our kitchen and gives us a nice homey feeling. The color is powder coated and gives a nice antique look, matching our cabinets and hardware very well. We have darker cherry cabinets with bronze handles and they match this nicely.Besides looking great, a benefit of this rack is how much cabinet space you free up for other things. We like hanging gout pots and lids together (with the lid inserted through the pot handle and then the pot handle hanging. Some like to hang both pieces separately, that’s up to how you like yours to look, it’ll work either way. I like to grab a pot and get its lid too.In our home the wall studs are 16” on center, so the 32” spacing that this came pre-drilled for worked perfectly for us. If you have a wall with 24” centers you’ll need to drill some additional holes on the back side (make sure you drill on the back not the front, the front side has threaded holes for the added supports). I strongly recommend you firmly attach this directly to studs due to not only the weight of the rack, but the weight of the pots and other items it’ll be holding. I used a stud finder to assure a direct stud install. It would be sad to drill several holes in your wall. Make sure it’s level by carefully measuring your first hole to floor distance and matching that on the 2nd hold.5 stars for a very solid and secure rack that performs well and looks great.

When properly installed in studs, you can hang 80lbs of pots, pans, and utensils, plus you have a rack above. I love the fact that I don't have to bend down to fetch a particular pot in a low cupboard.

Es de metal, resistente, se ve muy bonito y aguanta mis ollas; ademas que es práctico para una cocina pequeña.

It was easy to hang and looks great. Had to purchase other hardware since it only comes with large wood screws

Seems functional but arrived with pitting in some sections of the graphite outer coating.
