After spending a bit of time trying to decide if I wanted this rack or not, I decided to make the jump and purchased the item.

When the package was delivered I looked at the bag of nuts and bolts and metal rods and thought to myself "oh great ... three hours of assembly" and went to get my power screwdriver.

After only 30 minutes or so the rack was fully assembled in my kitchen looking pretty darn good. The pot rack is sturdy and the graphite colored powder finish blends in nicely with my kitchen while helping me keep the clutter to a minimum.

The only thing that needs improving is the assembly method connecting the upper half of the rack to the lower half. The two halves are bolted together with four screws on each support but there's enough play in the assembly that the rack kinks if you're not careful and ruins the straight line of the support. Doesn't seem to affect the strength of the rack but it's noticeable.

Aside from the aesthetic glitch, the rack is excellent.

I am Woman hear me roar!

After receiving the 60" Old Dutch pot stand in graphite from Amazon.com, I decided to wait a couple of weeks before I put it together since one reviewer seemed to have a difficult time with the assembly.

Today was my day and I had absolutely no problems putting the pot stand together. The important thing is for everyone to take a moment to read the directions, which are clear, simple and precise.

After opening the box and separating the parts, I sat down with a cup of coffee to review the assembly. I took my time, made sure that all parts were available (which they were) and within 45 minutes I had my new, beautiful pot stand. I say 45 minutes, because I occasionally sat down to take a moment for myself before I would start the next part. The pot stand is very level; not wobbly. The metal is nice and thick and the piece looks expensive.

The only advice I would give you since I speak from experience putting together cast iron furniture is: don't completely tighten up all the screws until after the entire piece is put together. Once you're satisfied with your assembly, then go ahead and really tighten the screws.

My pot stand is beautiful and sturdy! I put all my new beautiful color pieces of LeCreuset enamel cast iron cookware (which I also ordered from Amazon.com) on the stand and feel secure that it will remain sturdy.

The stand is large enough that you can fit quite a few large casseroles. skillets and saucepans, but it's small enough that you won't be taking up a large corner of your kitchen or dining area. The stand has beautiful curleques on the top where you could probably put potholders or aprons...I prefer to keep it simple. I have seen similar stands like this at a very famous cookstore in upscale malls for hundreds of dollars more. Amazon.com's price is right, not to mention free shipping.

The graphite color is beautiful...sort of a dark charcoal gray (almost but not quite black). The largest shelf starts at the bottom; the smallest at the top. My largest LeCreuset casserole is 5.5 quart but I feel sure that you could place a 9.5 or 11 quart casserole on the bottom shelf.

The stand would also look great with plants, books or dishes stacked on the levels.

Keep up the great work Old Dutch and Amazon.com!

Like other reviewers, I have seen a similar (but smaller) version of this pot rack at a local Sur La Table store. The Sur La Table pot rack is about a foot shorter...and costs $200!! I was able to assemble this pot rack in about 30 minutes--I didn't even have to ask my husband to help! It is a good weight and seems sturdy, even under the weight of 6 LeCreuset cast iron pieces. This rack is very upscale-looking and an excellent value for the price. You should get one!!

Honest reviews on Old Dutch Cookware Stand

I bought this pot stand to put my stock pots and chili pots onto to free up space. It put together very quickly and seems very sturdy. It looks great. I only have one problem. The bottom shelf holds my 8 qt Le Cruset very well, but the next shelf up is a very tight fit for my taller and narrower Calphalon 8 quart. I have to fit it in just so to keep from scratching it. The rest of the other shelves get progressively narrower, too narrow for any more large pots. I am using it for my Calphalon, not for the larger pots that I wanted it for, and it is still a very tight fit to get the pots into place. I have to take them in and out very carefully in order to not scratch up the sides of my polished pots. Not it does look great, and works perfectly well for these pots, I just wish it were wider so that I could use it for my bigger pots, and you really can't beat the price. I am now looking for a bigger stand.

This is a simple metal stand that does a great job. The stand looks great in the corner of my kitchen and allows me to store my cooking items out of the way while still providing easy access.

Assembly was easy and made even easier with a power screwdriver -from box to stacked pans in about 30 minutes assembled on my kitchen table.

One improvement I would like to see, however, would be a better fit/join of the vertical supports which are sturdily built but allow a little movement between the two joined pieces. This resulted in the appearance of a slight crimp in the smooth vertical profile of the assembled unit. Only one support did this, however, and that's the support that got tucked into the corner.

Overall a very nice additional to my kitchen.
