Question: Hello, If you cannot mount this to a ceiling joist on both sides would you still recommend this with standard anchors? or is it too heavy with pans?
Document: This pot rack is attractive and does the job well. I get compliments on it all the time. The chain that comes with it has open links and feels flimsy. It also only comes with hooks that would need to go into joists which can be difficult to find in an older home with plaster ceiling. The hooks are open the chain could potentially come off when removing a pot if you were not careful. I got eye screws and heavy duty anchors and wrapped chain from my local hardware store for under five dollars to up the sturdyness.
This installed very easily, although I did have to go out and buy some anchors because only two of the four hooks matched up with a stud, but with the two hooks in a stud and the other two hooks with dry wall anchors (rated to hold 50 lbs) it is holding up well. It fits 12 pots easily, and really helps with storage space. I felt comfortable hanging all my pots and pans with the exception of the cast iron skillet, as that is insanely heavy. I put the lids on top of the rack, and although it would not hold all 12 lids, it does hold the majority.
The Wife loves it, her shiny pans look great. It adds a touch to the kitchen. Took about 5 minutes to hang with a stud finder and a little measuring. I would have liked a larger one, but they were too much money. For Price and value, you cannot go wrong. I have 9 foot ceilings and the chains are still long enough, so no runs to Home Depot, yay!
I waited awhile to review this to see how it would perform. I love the look and feel of the rack, definitely well constructed and looks great.Practical notes:  Make sure to screw the fasteners into a ceiling joist for extra support. Please do not assume drywall alone will hold this up on a long term basis - even empty!The chain that came with it looked to be too small in my opinion. I got a different one and it looks fine.I put a full set of Wolfgang Puck SS plus my SS utensils and extra pots/pans and all the lids onto mine.
After doing a kitchen remodel, I wanted something that would be a little different, so I went looking for a pot holder rack. I picked this unit after looking at the ratings, and I think I made the correct choice. I had to mount the fastening screws to exposed 3x8 rafters, and I didn't want to insert the screws into opposite sides of the rafter. I staggered the screw holes on each side of the rafter, and used the adjustment in the support links to make the pot holder level. I hung up all of my stainless steel pots and pans, colander, and pasta hooks.
I bought this for my wife to display a new cookware set and assorted pans in the kitchen above the island. The rack is simple, has clean looking lines, is now itself very heavy, and is very easy to assemble and hang. The only concern I have is that it can only hold up to 40 pounds, so I doubled the chain (the rack comes with 4 chain lengths, about 2 ft long each) to reinforce it. I recommend you either do this or buy new chain, the one that comes with it is adequate, but not the best.
I love the way it looks, way less clunky than I imagined it would look with all the pots and pans hanging on it. I would recommend this product to anyone that is having issues with cabinet space in the kitchen.
This item installed very easily, and the chains allow for adjusting to the perfect height. I put mine right over my stove and far away from the cabinets for them to open easily. Perfect!I would have given this item 5 stars if it had come with ceiling anchors. I went to Ace Hardware and took quite a while trying to find the perfect anchors to hang this.
Much better for my back! The final benefit was that I now have additional storage space for the items that were still in boxes.The product itself appears to be quite substantial in construction. I would have expected something like this to cost much more. It was easy to install, although we opted to purchase some butterfly bolts from our hardware store (I think that's what they're called) since it is hanging directly from our ceiling and we were unsure where the studs were.I just love my kitchen now!
Pros:Sturdy, easy to put together, looks greatCons:At my height (5ft4) there isn't really a way to hang it so that the top rack is useful. If it is low enough to reach then my pots and pans would practically be touching my counter. Also I have to walk around to the other side of my counter to get to the pots and pans on the other side.Needs more hooks and sturdier ones. I bought additional hooks that ended up being better hooks (heavier and have a grippy aspect that keeps them in place while trying to wiggle pan off)Still with cons I love it.
Answer: i mounted it to one joist useing the chains in a v shape it is to heavy for anchors
