Is it strong enough to put a couple of hooks on the bottom rack to hang pots? It will be mounted on a wood cabinet with extra support..

It might hold a couple of small pots hanging from the side scrolls, but wouldn't recommend hanging anything from the bottom.

This rack is very sturdy, but it would be a good idea to reinforce the bottom panel. I don't believe this rack was designed to hang heavy pots. I use it to store all my nail polishes, which is heavy. It's been a very good and sturdy shelf. You will like this!

I wouldn't suggest that, Pat. Perhaps on the side pieces of metal, but even then only very light pans. I would not suggest hanging anything from the bottom shelf itself. The shelves are not really strong.

This is a very sturdy rack. I would say that it could handle pots hanging from it.

The hooks are very sturdy and I would think would hold anything you wanted to hang from them. The determining factor would be how securely your rack that the hooks hang from is attached to the ceiling.

Yes, it can. But the bottom of the rack hangs loose, which doesn't look all tight and neat, unless you can affix it to the bottom of the floor some way. I can't do that in our closet, so it's hanging loose at the bottom of the rack, but it is fine, and works well.

It depends on how many iron skillets you want to hang from it, and how big they are. This is a very sturdy rack. I brought 2 racks to fit my entire set of pots and pans plus a few more. I would say that the deciding factor would be whether or not you can get each side into a stud when mounting. I have one side in a stud and the other on a butterfly anchor and they hold a lot of weight perfectly.

It depends somewhat on how you mount it. The unit itself is very sturdy and could hold what any set of pot and pans would weigh. If it is mounted securely it should even hold iron cookware.

It has hooks for hanging the chains (though we modified the design to screw directly into wood pieces) AND about a dozen s hooks for hanging your pots and pans. While the overall construction could have been a bit stronger, it's worked well and is definitely worth the price.

I think so, as long as the baskets aren't too wide or deep. I use it to hold my varying size sauce pots(1, 2 1/2 and 3 quart). The last two rungs near the bottom are a bit bigger & I have a dutch oven pot & a stock pot on those rungs.

I don't think so, the hooks are stationary....I have it on the side of my fridge with pot holders hanging on it --its really nice looking and very solid.....

If the bolts are mounted into a rigid backing (e.g. wall studs) it should hold. I happened to have plywood sheathing under the wall covering. I ordered an extra set of hooks and had enough room for 3 large pots(6-8 qt. each), 4 larger fry pans, 2 hooks for spoins, 2 smaller fry pans and a colander. It looked crowded but it was functional. Twelve would depend on each pot's depth.

The pot rack came with the hooks included. The ones that it came with will be more than enough for the rack. You can purchase hooks at your local kitchen retailer though, for a minimal cost. This pot rack is perfect for my small space!

I don't believe it would be strong enough. This rod is very small and lightweight, as such the tension isn't very strong. I use it in my large kitchen sink to hang wet dish towels. Even with that, I find that the rod slips down every once in a while (but then again, the walls of the sink is often wet).

Yes, I have one on my rack, on the row above the bottom (I'd thought that it would be too heavy for anywhere but the bottom which rests on the floor of the cabinet, but it holds it great!) I could put more cast iron on it - no problem.

I have pots and pans hanging from 4 hooks, plus lids and utensils. Other reviewers are correct, taking the time to find a wall stud & hanging it correctly is the only way to go! Otherwise you'll have a 'decorative' pot rack vs something that is actually 'useful'. It is attractive and sturdy and I'd buy it again

Yes, the bottom shelf has extra support and should handle that weight with not problem. The other shelves I would not put a lot of weight on them.

As long as the brackets are securely attached to the wall, it should be plenty strong enough to handle an average sized hanging basket.

I mounted it on my ceiling and hang eight frying pans from it. To get the pans to hang perpendicular to the rack you need to use hang two of the S-hooks together to rotate the tip of the hook 90 degrees. The single S-hook protrudes out from the rack (like in the pic) and you can only hang a couple of pans from the bar that way. But when you rotate the S-hook you can nest a lot of pans together. It's definitely strong enough to hang any numbers pots and pans, to answer your question, as long as you mount it into wood and not drywall.

If the bolts are attached into studs, I think it will handle a lot. I hung a 12" skillet, a 10" skillet, (2) 6" skillets, a 10" pot, and a 6" pot all stainless steel calphalon cookware. I ran out of space and never had any strength problems. My pantry was lined with plywood to attach to. It is very strong.
