I bought the copper rack and a few of my pieces came with rust spots on them. I have Tilex Rust Remover, but I'm not sure if that will be too harsh a chemical on the copper so I won't be using it. As far as durability goes, my rack was wobbly after I finished putting it together. A few pieces I had to bend in order to get the holes to match up for the screws. I put this together by myself and it was complicated. I would have preferred to have someone help. A second set of hands is needed to hold the pieces into place. It does fit all my pots with room to nest some pots inside each other on each tier. Is it worth the full price cost? Not so much. However, it is a great space saver, and has opened my cabinet up for more storage.
