This item is really light weight and the rack cant dent easily. It was not packaged well at all on first shipment and arrived very bent in several places. After contacting the shipper, we were mailed another one--but that took 3 weeks. The size is perfect for smaller kitchens and it looks great now that it is installed. Another tip: do NOT hang it like it is in the picture. Handing both chains on one eye bolt is a disaster. Use both eye hooks and hang one chain for each. Otherwise it is completely unstable.

This rack is relatively inexpensive, but even so not worth the price. A few months back I saw a VERY similar one at Aldi for $24.99 which would be FAIR price. THINK OF THIS PRODUCT AS "POT RACK LITE"!The frame is constructed of VERY thin sheet metal, the grid and supporting chain from very small diameter rod and link.
In fairness, it's well made in terms of welding and painting... it looks decent enough. But again, it's strictly LIGHT DUTY. If you have mostly ALUMINUM cookware, fine and dandy. But don't plan on hanging your cast iron skillets or clad pans, or storing your heavy dutch ovens on top.
Finally, the single-point suspension system is a cost saving design that isn't STABLE enough for this kind of application. If installed as instructed, it will be prone to "spin" and "sway" when removing or hanging a pan; you'll be tempted to use one hand for the pan and the other to steady the rack. Any rectangular hanging rack should be suspended from at least TWO points (all four corners is even better.) Again in fairness, there IS enough chain to suspend it from all four corners.
I kept the rack rather than returning it; I actually found a use for it in my garage!
Again, it's not a bad product, but it's strictly light duty and in my opinion NOT worth its current price ($38 bucks at the time I purchased it. At $24.99 to $29.99, it would be a good VALUE.)
Best Deals for Fox Run Square Pot Rack with Chrome Chains and Hooks, Black
Very thin metal and pint looked as if put in box too soon. Be sure to hang from 4 points not one like shown in pictureHonest reviews on Fox Run Square Pot Rack with Chrome Chains and Hooks, Black
We just moved into a house that has one-third the square footage of our last one. We have somewhere between 20-30 pots and pans and no cabinet space for them, so this was a great idea for maximizing vertical space. We did not have hundreds of dollars to invest in a rack, so this was in just the right price range.To get the most out of this product, here's what you need:
1. Four hooks rated to about 25 pounds each
2. Four anchors/toggles that can go into the ceiling and that are the right size for your hooks to screw into
Screw holes for the anchors, place them in the ceiling, screw the hooks into them. You want to have each corner supported separately by its own hook, because if you only do one or two hooks, when you remove one pan, everything else on the rack will slide around with the shift in gravity. This rack is a nice choice because it has a center grid, so you can stack pots in the middle as well as hanging them around the sides. Although the construction is lightweight, the joints are soldered, so it is strong. I took away one star because I had to supply additional hardware, there were no instructions, and the construction could be better to last longer. I've only had it for three months, but so far it has held up really well, in spite of lots of use and abuse.
Overall, for the price, can't be beat!
