This pot rack is exactly what I wanted and holds all 14 pieces of my All-Clad cookware perfectly on display keeping each piece safe and handy.  We added some extra bracing in the ceiling above the drywall between the wood joist to support the extra weight of all those pots and pans.  The cookware is professional grade copper core and has some weight to them plus the rack itself is rather heavy. It looks so great in my kitchen.  I also love the lighting which is subtle but gives off just the right amount of light to illuminate the area under the pots.  We recommend this item for any serious gourmet cook!
