I thought the bar bearing the weight would be made of metal, but it's only painted wood. It's actually composed of two wooden rails held together at both ends. The metal hooks onto which one hangs the pots are dropped into the space between the rails, relying on gravity to keep it stable. This way, I can slide the hooks to any position on the rail and add additional hooks as I get more pots. The hooks can also be rotated while in the rails so you can position the pots to face out, or to 'nest' together.

The chains that come with the rack are ugly, but they're very easily substituted.

When I first went to college my parents gave me this pot rack to hang in my studio apartment, and I ended up using it for a total of 6 years before I moved somewhere that I couldn't hang it up. It held up astonishingly well for the entire time I used it, and I was so happy with it that I'm planning on buying another one for my new place (I think we passed the old one on to a different family member).

It's important to note that this is an entry level pot rack, and is suitable mainly for small to mid-sized pots and pans that don't weigh hundreds of pounds when put together. The only structural problem this pot rack has is that it is held together by a bolt at each end of it, and if weight isn't distributed relatively evenly across the length of the bar it has a tendency to bow towards the middle. While this bowing doesn't produce a gap large enough for any of the stationary hooks to fall out, the rotating hooks are actually made of two separate pieces, and it is possible for the rotating part to fall out of its cradle, dropping your pot and the hook onto the ground (and possibly your stove and/or head). It's extremely unlikely this will happen, and I never had any other problems with construction, but it is worth noting. Also, I had the one with a natural wood finish, and it's entirely possible this is not a problem if you buy the chrome version, which I'm assuming is made entirely out of metal. The hooks themselves are all metal, and as others have noted are quite expensive to buy separately, so think about that and count the number of hooks it comes with before making your purchase.

I think the price is really good for the product you're getting. It's a horizontal bar as opposed to one of the round or oval options, meaning it takes up less real estate than a pot rack usually does, and it's ceiling mounted rather than wall mounted, which allows you to more easily adjust the height of it. Also, if you dislike the hooks it comes with, just go to a hardware store and buy two even lengths of chain for a few dollars and use those instead. I think the best thing I can say about it is that my old one lasted for years, and I intend to buy another. Is there any bigger sign of trust in a product that someone can give?

My husband and I installed this in front of our kitchen window right above the kitchen sink. It works great and we can hang our pots up to dry while they drip into the sink. It was easy to install and holds the weight of our Rachel Ray pots and pans just fine. It says the color is Charcoal Grey but it actually looks black which matches our black and white kitchen perfectly. We use all the hooks that came with it and only needed to use 2 links for length. I recommend this definitely and hope this review helps.

Honest reviews on Concept Housewares Hanging Pot Rack

This product arrived and appeared to be intact, but when I went to install it I noticed that the wood was split. It appeared as though this wasn't picked up during production and that the item was painted after the split occurred.

Upon further evaluation it was clear that the wood was inferior and not durable enough for the intended application. We ended up purchasing oak scrap and remaking the piece. The oak cost $2.00.

This rack came with the chrome option and is a very sturdy, high quality rack. Maybe just the wood ones are crap, but I really love it. I have 4 All-Clad saute pans and skillets and 2 All-Clad pots hanging from it (very heavy) and it is under no strain whatsoever. Great product for limited space.
