Home Kitchen Hanging Scrolled Wrought Iron Pot Holder



get rid of small kitchen blues with this rack
Little things can be immensely impactful...this pot rack is but one more proof of that!

We have moved 5 apartments in the past 2-3 years and we have always been amazed at the space saving capacity of this little guy. I bought it when it was slightly cheaper, although even at this price, its a steal, what with its rustic/Tuscan vibe.

The good is that you do end up scrubbing your pots (mine are mostly copper/stainless) a little brighter since you hang em up for display :) The top rack can hold pans with long handles that would otherwise dangle too low.

Make sure you get high capacity drywall hooks(50-35lbs each suffices)to hang it.

If your ceiling is not as high as you might want, just loop the hooks through the chain links where you want the length to be.

I bought this because it fit my country kitchen, but the benefits of a pot-rack are generic. I'd say get any one that suits your style and you will be amazed at the amount of...

Love it!
It hangs beautifully in my kitchen, protecting my pink breast cancer pans from the dreaded "pan cupboard". I used to keep my new pans in the cupboard but they were getting scratched and dented; I had so many. This product is very sturdy and looks wonderful in my kitchen! It's a great buy.

Looks great but can get unbalanced easily
The pot rack looks great in the country kitchen of my 200+ year old cape. I agree with the comment about the chain links being hard to work with. My ceiling is not level, so I had to work extremely hard to bend a single link to about 1/2 length in order to get the rack to hang level.
Another issue is the 2-chain design: If pots are not distributed evenly (by weight) around the rack, it will tip. This is a problem as you remove and replace pots from the rack in the course of cooking. I may be able to rig up some stabilizing chains attached at the lower ends of the metal hoops that hold the horizontal members, but not yet certain how that will impact what is a pleasing visual design.
All in all, a good value, well constructed, but with a design flaw that may turn out to be its downfall (or cause the downfall of the pot lids stored on the horizontal shelf).
