First, mine was a warehouse deal for $45 or so. I expected a couple of scratches (possibly the returned model from another reviewer...) and I got them. Nothing major or distracting though. It is plenty heavy and sturdy.

The primary purpose in my tiny kitchen was storage. That is where this model excels. Not only is there tons of hanging room (we have two large and one medium frying pans hanging across one side of it), the wire shelf goes from edge to edge. Most of the other oval pot racks I saw had a square shelf in the middle, which would only be suitable for storing one large pot. With the four chains hanging from individual hooks in the ceiling I have no problem putting my largest pot/colander/steamer combo in the middle with a stack of large pots and a stack of sauce pans on either side. Its not at all cluttered with room in between each stack, and everything is easily accessible.

Note that the ceiling hooks that come with it are useless unless you happen to have studs right where you need them. There are no drywall anchors at Lowes or Home Depot large enough to accommodate them. I just used large stainless toggle bolt hooks and called it a day. Use four for extra stability and load bearing, rather than all of the chains going to one hook in the center. I read some reviews that the hooks didn't work in studs because the threads are paintedI'm pretty sure a wire brush would fix that problem if your studs were where you needed them.

It is presentable, but fit and finish is ok at best when you take a close look at it. Full price is a little high, but as a warehouse deal I'm happy with the product and the huge amount of space that it freed up.
