Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was excited when I saw this particular pot rack becuase I needed something to match the rest of the pewter and brushed nickel finishes in my kitchen. The description clearly says "antique pewter finish" and it claimed to have "8 movable hooks." When it arrived, though, the box said "faux pewter finish" because it was simply a steel unit spray painted gray.
The image shown of the item isn't very accurate because it gives the impression that the hooks can be placed anywhere on the supporting grid that makes up the bookshelf (it also shows 10 hooks, not 8). Actually, the hooks can only be placed around the edges of the rack because the steel grid pieces are too wide for the top of each hook to go around them and still hang vertically. Because all of the hooks hang along the edge and all of my Calphalon cookware hangs facing out by design, the effect is a "wall" of pots and pans hanging parallel to the wall and out into the room like ornaments on a tree.
I suppose I could have used some welding gear to heat the small end of the hooks up to a point where I could have made them wide enough to hang anywhere on the rack, but c'mon. Also, if you've got any hope of this moutning flush and cleanly to a wall without shims, stop now before you feel the urge to pound a hammer into something delicate.
Keep looking, folks.
