Enclume PR8C Premier Bookshelf Wall Pot Rack with Shelf, Hammered Steel Review

Enclume PR8C Premier Bookshelf Wall Pot Rack with Shelf, Hammered Steel
Average Reviews:

This pot rack is everything I hoped for, and more. I just downsized from a house with a large country kitchen to a modern condo with 1/3 the space, and nowhere to store my heavy-duty cookware. This very sturdy rack allows me to hang all my pots and pans on the wall, plus display the antique tins I was going to have to get rid of. It's very heavy (35lbs), and was a real challenge for my husband to hang. But well worth the effort! Our suggestion: get help to hang it (to support the weight)--and make sure your studfinder works!

Professional chefs know that well-planned kitchens require immediate, unencumbered access to cooking essentials in order to function properly. Constructed of rugged hammered steel, this handsome wall-mount bookshelf doubles as a handy pot rack, creating a sleek, distinguished way to display cooking aids with style and convenience. Even more, the unit's 3-inch-deep accessory shelf rises above the main grid and offers space for spices, utensils, cooking oils, and more, keeping them close at hand while preparing meals for family and guests. In addition to the grid, the bookshelf includes 18 angled pot hooks that firmly grip--and graciously showcase--a variety of hard-anodized and cast-iron cookware. Plus, its exclusive toggler anchors install directly into drywall and support hundreds of pounds, eliminating the hassle of searching for joists or studs while mounting. A sophisticated supplement to cupboard and drawer space, the kitchen bookshelf mounts on 32-inch centers and measures 13 by 36 by 17 inches.

Rogar Hammered Steel with Chrome Bookshelf Pot Rack Review

Rogar Hammered Steel with Chrome Bookshelf Pot Rack

As you can see by the other reviews, this is a great pot rack. However I have some very useful information if you want to purchase it. The rack was well designed and the mounts were spaced properly so that you screw the pot rack directly into the studs.
There is a major flaw...the screws that they provide are only 1 1/4 inches long. My kitchen has 3/4 inches of plaster before you hit a stud and the rack is about an 1/8 of an inch wide. That means the screws only bite into the stud a total of 3/8 of an inch. The result...during installation the pot rack ripped itself out of the wall. So I found a better way to mount it.
My solution cost an extra $1.77. I went to Home Depot and I bought five 1/4 by 2 inch lag screws and five 1/4 inch washers. I had previously measured and marked the three mounts on the main unit prior to installation. I then predrilled the holes with a 3/16 inch drill bit. Predrilling is very important, you don't want to split the stud when putting the lag screws in. And of course check your measurements so you don't miss the studs or put in any extra holes in your wall.
Next put the washers on the lag screws and use a ratchet to screw them in place. Once the main portion of the rack was in place I installed the 2 supports, predrilled each hole, and installed the remaining lag screws.
This pot rack is easily 10 times stronger than it would have been with the original hardware. I would hang cast iron cookware off of it without hesitation. It looks great in the kitchen and is ultra stable. I highly recommend the pot rack so long as you replace the original mounting hardware.

Prepac Sonoma Maple Hutch Review

The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because of the quality. But then again, for the price, you can't expect real wood. This desk and hutch is perfect for a kid's room, especially the hutch. Although not real wood it is solid and easy to assemble. I have recommended it to others who bought it and loved it as well. Highly recomment for a child's room since it looks great, it's functional, and not expensive. If damaged it is not expensive and it won't hurt your wallet. DEFINETELY get the hutch. It is worth every penny and more.

Old Dutch International Antique Pewter Bookshelf and Pot Rack Review

Old Dutch International Antique Pewter Bookshelf and Pot Rack
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.

Cuisinart 36-Inch Rectangular Bookshelf Rack Review

Cuisinart 36-Inch Rectangular Bookshelf Rack
Average Reviews:

Looks very nice with a brushed stainless finish and compliments stainless steel appliances perfectly. Quite heavy. Keep in mind that to mount this unit safely on sheet rock walls that you must screw it into the wall studs. The unit has two mounting holes drilled at 32 inches, which is correct if your builder has spaced the studs properly on 16 inch centers, [ good luck on this if you live in the Atlanta area as we do].
The wood screws supplied with this unit are of the cheap import variety and snap easily when torqued down. One of them broke off in the wall , forcing us to drill it out of the wall and replace it with an oversized screw. Save yourself the headache and buy four U.S. made screws and toss the others away before you begin.
Lastly, the hook hangers that come with this unit are all of equal length and hang at a bit of an angle. I didn't think that made for the most efficient use of the space available and I got my husband to shorten and bend a couple of them in order to hang pans at varying heights. The hooks are made of heavy gauge stainless steel and are VERY tough to cut and bend. If you wish to do this you'll need a good vice and a strong arm.
