Just put it up. Looks very nice. I didn't like the flimsy looking drywall mounts so I used my own because I was going for a ceiling mount and wanted to make sure they held. I ordered 2 sets and luckily found studs in the ceiling for 1 of them. So I hang the heavier stuff on that 1.
Anyone who has ever had a small kitchen can tell you that finding a good way to store your pots and pans and lids will make or break your cabinet situation--high stakes stuff. If you are lucky enough to have a little wall space in your small kitchen, get a pot rack. Any why not make it this one? It looks good, it's super affordable, it comes with plenty of hooks, and you can store most of your lids up top. I will note that I did have to put a couple of my larger pots elsewhere (not because they were too heavy, they just didn't have a slot to hang them through in their handles) as well as their lids. You will also have to be careful with placing your hooks around the lids. I could not have a hook directly in the middle of where the lid was for my larger lids because there wasn't enough room. However, this was not a problem for me at all, just something to note. Installation was easy and plenty sturdy for anything I would want to hang on it. As my boyfriend said, "I wouldn't do a pull-up on it, but it's plenty sturdy for your pots and pans."
On a side note: if you don't have a small kitchen, it's also really nice not having to bend down and dig around for the right pan. It's extremely convenient just having them hanging there in arm's reach!
Would definitely recommend this product. Let me know if this review was helpful to you!
Easy to install using the included screws. I installed directly into my plaster walls, but the kit also include drywall anchors. I currently hang 8 8-12" pans including a 12" cast iron skillet and the bar bows slightly (maybe 1/2" in the middle), but could probably hold more. Make sure to measure and use a level when installing.
LOVE this product! I was struggling and had to go spelunking in my horrible corner cabinet every time I need a pot. They are too pretty to be stacked away in that cave of a cabinet getting scratched too. Plus I utilized the dead space where the back door opens. I LOVE it!
Overall a great purchase. Quality control could have been a little more attentive as none of the pre drilled holes are uniform. The hardware that is included with the item is not sufficient and you will most likely be taking a trip to Lowes or your local hardware store. It does look beautiful though.

What is in the Package:
1 32" Stainless Steel Kitchen Rail with 10 2¾" S-Hooks and Mounting Screws
Great rail, brackets, and hooks. Also you can buy two of these and connect them up (hardware is provided). However the head diameter of provided drywall screws is nearly the same size as the hole in the bracket, thus not usable in any installation scenario. They seem to be #6 1" screws (on right in photo). I replaced with #12 1" for screwing directly into wood (left in photo).
It's just a stainless steel bar with brackets on the end, but it makes my life easier by eliminating having to squat down and dig through low cabinets every time I need to use or put away my pots and pans. It was easy to put together. Materials are thick enough, but not super sturdy. If you tug on the middle of the bar it will bend a little. Should be strong enough to hold iron cookware. I just screwed the 4 regular screws included into my old apartment building's plaster and lath walls. Also included were two sets of drywall anchors: one set suspiciously slender; and the other with aggressive wood screw threads that made them too big to go through the holes in the brackets. The hooks for attaching pans to the bar are open on both ends and fit loosely around the bar and so could easily be knocked off. I tried to bend one end around the bar with vice grips, but it just kept popping back into its original shape. I think if I'm careful I'll be able to lift pots and pans on and off the hooks w/o knocking the hooks off the bar. The bar is only wide enough for about 4 items. I was able to nest a couple of the pans on separate hooks and hang a big pressure cooker lid in the space that made available. So I have 6 things up there without it being cluttered. Due to the bar being only a couple of inches from the wall, pans hand straight without touching the wall, but pots hang at an angle with the bottoms touching the wall.
When I opened this I wasn't thrilled because it looked so simple, but it ended up being exactly what I wanted and fit perfectly in the spot I wanted it for. Easy installation (does require electric drill) - and being kind of a slackard when it comes to anything involving hanging stuff that requires anchors, or more weight than light pictures - if I could successfully do it, ANYONE can. This is the perfect little hanging pot-rack for a small apartment or loft. Love it!
Good rack, sturdy. Only knock is that my lids dont fit behind. I read the other reviews, but figured my set is so standard they would definitely fit. I have relatively thin, glass lids. My husbands set has flat, metal lids and those fit fine. I found the anchors and bolts to be sufficient for my wall and pots.
I wanted it to attach it over a window, so i had to flip the brackets so that the screws attach outwardly instead of inwardly. The tapered screw that goes from the bracket to the bar didn't look/feel right, so i went to Lowes and got a pan screw that was slightly longer instead. I believe it was a 6mm. Anyway, slight modification, but it looks great and works well! Hooray cooking!
