This is a great piece!  Assembly was a little tedious (and maybe confusing), but perfectly do-able by one person.  In fact, one older, rheumatic person.  I put it all together; then took it apart, and put only the bottom half on top of my raised counter.  I imagine Wayfair is not allowed to say the product can be used in this way since it's not the manufacturer's original intention.  But my pans are up there and working just fine.  With a little more re-assembly, you could actually have two very nice half-racks.  Only reason I didn't give five stars is because the finish chips off of the included screws and nuts pretty easily.  And with the "graphite" finish I ordered, there won't be a way to match new hardware.  But that's a small nit for us picky types.  It's saving my storage-challenged kitchen!
