FANTASTIC! I ordered this pot stand in graphite and put my stainless steel pots on the shelves and my stainless steel wok at the very top. I am so happy with this stand that I will be ordering another one very soon! I found it very easy to assemble without help. The key to assembly is to start with the bottom shelf and work your way to the top. EASY! My pots are 8/10 stainless steel and very heavy yet this stand is extremely durable and made of quality material not flimsy. The graphite color is absolutely beautiful if you have stainless steel pots but would look good with any color. It's a dark graphite which I absolutely love! The shelves have never scratched my pots and the pots are very easy to put on and take off. The bottom shelf is great! I have a very large seafood steamer on the bottom. This pot stand has helped me to free up cabinet space and it looks great in my kitchen. 5 star product.
