Again, sturdy, and I have been using for over a year. I used regular old drywall anchors, and the racks are solidly in place, and have supported my pots for over a year.(2) The hooks that come with the racks are a little small for the All-Clad pot handle holes. Two things I had to take in to consideration:(1) Definitely anchor them if you can't screw directly into a stud. That worked. I searched high and low for narrow racks/bars to hang my All-clad pots from. These totally work. They are strong enough, and they fit nicely on the racks, so I just used a couple pairs of pliers and bent them open a little bit more.
I was anticipating it to be bigger, the picture on the website of it holding pans is not realistic.
I have my favorite frying pan as well as my favorite tools within easy reach. I highly recommend this as a back saver for us retired folks. I hung this rack over my stove for easy access to my most frequently used items. No more rummaging through the drawer or bending over to find my favorite pan.
If you use the less sturdy hollow wall anchors included with the bar then you might have problems hanging anything but aluminum pots or pans. They have other uses as well and the quality can't be beat.JR You can hang more utensils without a problem, however, the bars looked so good after I hung them up I decided to use the two I installed to hold pots and pans - rather than utensils. They would look great in an expensive custom kitchen or in an older apartment kitchen (like mine). As far as I can tell, they are highly polished SOLID stainless steel bars.
I had expected to be able to hang more pots and pans on them however, they are a bit short but absolutely top-quality and beautiful to boot. I used hollow wall toggle bolts in the three places I didn't hit a stud and that made the bar strong enough to hang cast iron pots on with no worries about the bar coming loose. Hanging utensils isn't a problem using the included hollow wall anchors since they don't weigh enough to loosen the bar once installed.Be aware that the bars are so short that you will do well to hang 3 pots/pans on each bar. If you happen to see these bars on sale for around a sawbuck (that's two 5's or half of a twenty for you younger folks) then buy a few more than you think you'll need. I purchased two of these bars when they were on sale.
I have worked on custom kitchens before and again these bars/hanges would look great in any kitchen.I only hit one stud when hanging two of these very nice (but short) bars. Because of the length of the bar, I could only get three pots/pans to hang on each bar, but they look great there and being directly over the stove it's very handy to have the most frequently pots and pans hung up right over the stove and the hooks cannot come off when removing a pot/pan or utensil because they are actually slipped onto the bar before installation and cannot come off when removing or replacing an hanging item.The fit and finish is perfect All Clad quality - and not some cheap plated bars.
Matches the other two we already have. A good well made item. Well made and attractive
