Rack It Up Bookshelf Wall Rack with 8 Hooks, Steel Gray Hammertone

UPDATE: Ignore my comments about my photo, Amazon not allowing pics to be uploaded for this product, sorry.I wanted to get my pots and pans out of the cabinets where they were driving me crazy. Every time I would open the cabinet door, out spilled pans, lids, etc. So, after a good bit of 'e'research, I narrowed our selection down to this item. Its pretty small, I think its 24" wide and not very deep, so if you are expecting to get everything in their 'stock' photo on the rack, it will take some careful staging. Instead, expect to get about 5 to 7 pots/pans on the rack comfortably. Hopefully the photo of my install will help shed a little reality on how this actually works. In my case, as you can see from my pic, I had little space to install a rack, so, this fit. Plus, I only wanted the pieces of our pot/pan set on the wall, so again, gaining the most space wasn't my primary objective. The lids in my pic may seem to be hanging a bit, but, I assure you, they are stable, I just had to experiment with the best placement. I will say that one of the included toggle bolts failed to work during my install. You can get replacement toggles that will fit their included bolts from Lowes (It even tells you in the manual). I was not happy, but, shame on me for not test fitting all the parts before assembly. You can't expect complete quality products these days. That said, I did pick up the 1/4" "Toggler" brand toggle bolt replacements and continued with the install the next day. I did some testing, the rack, once properly installed, will hold what I pictured probably 4 times over or more. Certainly if you set out to put something on it that will cause it to fail, you can, but, for pots and pans its solid. * Iam not crazy about the rack, it is probably the flimsiest piece, but, once its placed with items on it, well, it works. I considered cutting my own shelf from wood and painting it just so it will look a bit better, but, for now the 'grated' rack is in place and holding with no problem. The key is to install properly. READ the directions once, twice, three times all the way through, then follow the picture of the assembled rack. It is not the easiest to line up, assemble or level (Leveling is tricky if you do not assemble it solid, and I mean once you have it assembled, tighten it...a lot). The included hex wrenches are ok at best, they don't seem to fit the bolts quite exact and this caused the hex wrench to slip some, so, you may want to use your own if you have them. I HIGHLY recommend you are either an advanced DIY'er or have 2 people to install. Once you drill the 1/2" holes for the toggle bolts (I used 2 since I was unable to use/'hit' a stud), you are pretty much committed to either completing the install or repairing your wall. That said, be sure you are comfortable with an advanced assembly, proper use of a level, drill and keep a bar of soap nearby for your mouth ; ) I will say again, once properly installed, this is a solid rack, albeit small, which is what I needed, it is solid. I have no doubt it will hold what ever cook-ware I hang or place on it. Best of luck.

I installed this yesterday and after all is said and done, I do love it. But, there are a few things that should be pointed out.First, although this is listed as 10" deep, the upper shelf really only gives you about 9" of usable depth. I suppose I should have paid more attention to the photo. The grated shelf sits inside of the main frame. I can still fit a 10" pot on top but it has to rest on the front edge and tilt back against the wall.Second, assembly and installation leaves a lot to be desired. For one, they use these screw and barrel type fasteners which aren't very easy to secure. It requires two allen wrenches (which are included), one on each side. I would have preferred some kind of welded-on nut on the back of the inner frame piece. Also, you must begin the tighten the screw/barrels but then leave them a bit loose so you can adjust the curved supports. That's right, there is nothing to guide the supports into a perpendicular (to the main frame) position. Granted they have two lined up holes for the screws but there is still enough play that they may not actually be straight up. This can be a problem when following the instructions which state to drill holes X number of inches apart. If you've already tightened the upright curved supports, the holes may not line up at X number of inches because they are not perfectly straight up. I used a level to make sure they were indeed straight but it seems there should be something on the fame itself that keeps them from having so much play. When all is said and done, if you take your time and plan ahead, you should be fine. I'm pretty good with my hands and never have much trouble with assembly instructions but for the average person, I imagine assembly and installation could be problematic.Lastly, as with all manufacturers these day, the hardware is cheap. The screws that bolt into the wall have the same hex head as the screws/barrels used to assemble the frame. I understand, this allows you to use the same supplied allen wrench but I ended up stripping the head on the first screw. After that, I just went to Homedepot and picked up 4 screws w/ a phillips head. Unfortunately the heads are not black but I didn't want to deal with any more stripped hex heads.In the end, it looks great and functions just as I expected. There were also just enough hooks for the items I intended to hang.

As advertised. Sturdy. Fairly easy to install. I would suggest using the back brace/rail, once leveled, to mark the bottom screw holes first then measure up to the top screw holes. Much quicker and more accurate than following the instructions by the letter. The drywall anchors provided work although they can be damaged easily rendering them useless. Had to purchase a similar but sturdier anchor after breaking one of the plastic tabs when tightening.Very fast delivery.

Was a gift to someone and they loved it. The two anchers provided did not work as expected but I purchaced different ones and the unit is very functional and attractive as well

It seems nice and study but I'm not really sure... It came without instructions so we put it together as best we could based on the pictures. The wire shelf seems to just rest on a few wires hanging over the edge of the frame and isn't actually connected at all

Love it. Holds all the pots and pans I wanted it to yet is not large. Compact for the space I put it in. Somewhat heavy to mount so the weight should be taken into consideration. Would I recommend it? Absolutely.

love it. Easy to put up. Directions were good. Had to use a different wall anchor on one of them screws because the toggle broke but the other one went up fine. Could be just me :). love how it looks. I am very happy with it.
