Cheapest Enclume PR18-36 SS Premier

Enclume PR18-36 SS Premier 36-Inch Ceiling Bar, Stainless Steel




Best Item From Enclume



These are simply super!!!
I received two of these as a house-warming present from my mother-in-law, and I must say they are the classiest ceiling pot rack I have ever seen. The design is nice and simple, they come with plenty of hooks and very heavy ceiling hooks. The rack is very heavy, so make sure you have a sturdy ceiling.

The ultimate in design simplicity This sleek horizontal ceiling bar features fixed, offset hangers and is available in several finishes.

  • Fast, easy installation with exclusive "Toggler" anchors. Install toggles directly in drywall. Hold hundreds of pounds. No more joists or studs needed
  • A simple and stylish design, easy to hang with fixed mounting hooks
  • Mounts on 16-inch centers, or use new drywall toggles and install anywhere.
  • 36-inch length by 20-inch height
  • Shipping weight 9 pounds




just about perfect
I wish this was the first pot rack that I ordered. Perfectly described by company & other people who ordered one. Light weight, easy to install. It would have been perfect if it came with at least 2 more hooks. I believe if you were to order more hooks they only come in a 6 or more pack. Nothing cheap looking about this product. Fit & finish commercial grade quality. Love it!
What a bargain!
We love our new pot rack... We had been looking for a small, unobtrusive rack to hang in our kitchen, which has 8 foot ceilings. This rack is simple, very stylish and sturdy as all get-out! The hardware is very strong and yet it isn't overly industrial-looking. We decided to center it over our Boos-block (which is 18"x24") and it looks fantastic and still allows traffic through our galley-type kitchen without being obtrusive. I highly recommend! Since we bought ours, the price has gone up considerably...we got ours new from Amazon for nearly $70. On the Enclume website, the price was well over $200. A steal from Amazon!

Cheapest 30 x 20 Satin

30 x 20 Satin Nickel Pot Rack w/Grid and 24 Hooks




Best Item From Old Dutch



Very well made
Really good quality and price. Matches and works perfect for my home. ONE ISSUE I DO NOT LIKE. THEY NEED TO HAVE FINISHING WASHERS WHERE THE SCREWS SCREW INTO THE JOIST. i BOUGHT SOME LOCALLY BUT IT IS MINOR THAT IS WHY I AM SURPRISED THAT IT DOES NOT COME WITH IT. LIKE THE SIZE OF A QUARTER AND A HOLE IN THE MIDDLE. SIMPLY SLIDES OVER THE SCREW AND I ATTACHED IT TO THE CEILING. JUST LOOKS BETTER AND MORE FINISHED. OTHERSIZE IT IS A SCREW GOING INTO DRYWALL AND DOESN'T REALLY LOOK GOOD. Other than that it is a solid HEAVY PIECE that will hopefully not fall out of my ceiling ripping down dryway :-) THAT HEAVY. Just make sure you really go in deep to solid wood.

30 x 20 Satin Nickel Pot Rack w/Grid and 24 Hooks

  • Heavy gauge pot rack measures 30-inch by 20-inch
  • Comes with a matching grid and 24 hooks
  • Plated metal finish increases the durability and strength of each pot rack
  • Top of the grid can be used for additional storage
  • Removable hooks allows you to adjust and arrange the pots




Mighty! What a nice rack!
The pot rack came in a slim package, with detailed instructions and heavy duty hardware. I mounted from a vaulted ceiling, so I had to use chains to suspend the rack, but all of my pots, stock pans, pans, etc. fit great. Perfect size and shape. Really helps to make a kitchen look, "gourmet."
Can't be beat for the price...
I searched long and hard for the right pot rack for our kitchen. The challenge was that it had
to fit in a 31" wide space and this limited the selection greatly.The other consideration was price.
I chose the satin nickel finish as it was a lot less than the other brands with the stainless finish (although it was about $170).
When I received it, I was pleasantly surprised not only with the heavy-duty construction, but the finish
was spot-on in color and looked high quality. It comes with all the hooks you will probably need and the grids
are handy storage spots for trays or what-not.

Having said that, the unit is heavy and will get heavier with any pots that you hang. There are two included
hooks and hangers to adjust the height. One caution: Molly bolts are not included for good reason. The
hooks should be screwed directly into a rafter or, as I had to, a "cripple" needs to be attached to a rafter
to ensure proper support...

Cheap Cuisinart CRC-29B Octagonal Hanging

Cuisinart CRC-29B Octagonal Hanging Cookware Rack




Best Item From Cuisinart



High Quality Pot Rack for Joists Spaced 16" Apart
This rack, made in Indonesia, appears to be completely made of solid stainless steel - unlike others that use chrome plated or aluminum hooks or chains. It has a center grid. All mounting hardware is included, even ceiling screw hooks. It uses rigid stainless strips to connect to the ceiling, not chains.

Make sure your ceiling joists are 16" apart or you're mounting this in parallel along a single joist. My joists are 18" apart unfortunately, and the Amazon description fails to mention this requirement.

One last note, Cuisinart customer service offered no help whatsoever with my installation problem. Good product, poor support.

Cuisinart CRC-29B Octagonal Hanging Cookware Rack

  • Octagonal hanging cookware rack; handy, convenient storage option
  • Brushed stainless-steel finish; matches all kitchen décors
  • 12, stainless-steel pot hooks
  • Easy-to-assemble and install; all hardware included
  • Long-lasting; measures 32.28 by 15.43 by 14.76 inches




Nice Rack!
The pot rack is great, easy to assemble and looks great in our kitchen.
Two quick points about assembley:
1. Some of the hardware described in the directions has changed. It looks to me like improvements/updates were made to the hardware but not the instruction sheet. Still no problems installing and everything worked fine.
2. This pot rack does not use chains for installation. We did not take this into consideration when we bought this for our kitchen, which has 10 foot ceilings. We ended up buying a small length of chain to lower the rack so that pots could be reached. This is not Cisinart's problem, it is ours, but thought readers would want to know so they can plan accordingly.
great product
I have been wanting a hanging pot rack for quite some time but they always seemed a bit over priced. Found this one on sale and with the free shipping I could not pass it up. It is heavy duty and holds my new Cuisinart pots with no problem. My husband installed it with absolutely no difficulty. I have received a lot of compliments from family and friends. I would highly recommend this product.

Cheapest Cuisinart CRBS-36B Chef's Classic

Cuisinart CRBS-36B Chef's Classic 36-Inch Rectangular Wall-Mount Bookshelf Rack, Brushed Stainless




Best Item From Cuisinart



Mounting problem solved!
As stated in a previous review, this rack has to be mounted directly into the wall studs. Unfortunately, the limited space in my small kitchen and the location that I wanted to mount the shelf did not allow for mounting the shelf directly into wall studs. The solution.....I attached a 24" X 36" piece of 3/4" birch plywood into the studs using eight 3" drywall screws (it's a good idea to countersink the screws into the plywood). To the plywood, I laminated a 24" X 36" stainless steel backsplash (available at Lowes or Home Depot for about 30 bucks) with liquid nails and four screws (holes are pre-drilled on each corner). I could then mount the bookshelf rack into the plywood/stainless steel backsplash without having to worry about mounting the unit into studs. You can also add some trim around the edges of the plywood/stainless to hide the plywood edges. My Cuisinart Mult-Clad Pro cookware looks great displayed from this rack. The mount is rock solid.

If this solution...

Store and display your Cuisinart cookware within easy reach. Cuisinart is pleased to offer an exciting new variety of specialty pieces of Chef's Classic Cookware that make everyday cooking tasks a pleasure.

  • Durably constructed; inset grid doubles as storage shelf for cookbooks and accessories
  • 12 "S" hooks enable moveable positioning to create customized cookware storage
  • Includes 2 reinforced wall brackets and all necessary installation hardware
  • Measures approximately 10 by 36 by 3-1/5 inches




Sturdy and well made
Looks very nice with a brushed stainless finish and compliments stainless steel appliances perfectly. Quite heavy. Keep in mind that to mount this unit safely on sheet rock walls that you must screw it into the wall studs. The unit has two mounting holes drilled at 32 inches, which is correct if your builder has spaced the studs properly on 16 inch centers, [ good luck on this if you live in the Atlanta area as we do].
The wood screws supplied with this unit are of the cheap import variety and snap easily when torqued down. One of them broke off in the wall , forcing us to drill it out of the wall and replace it with an oversized screw. Save yourself the headache and buy four U.S. made screws and toss the others away before you begin.
Lastly, the hook hangers that come with this unit are all of equal length and hang at a bit of an angle. I didn't think that made for the most efficient use of the space available and I got my husband to shorten and bend a couple of them in...
Mount with a Backsplash and its AMAZING
I mostly followed fyurguy's instructions but I have a few tips to add as well:

Supply List:

-Cuisinart Pot Rack (as shown here)
-24x36" stainless steel backsplash Broan SP3604 Backsplash 24-Inch by 36-Inch Stainless Steel Range Hood Wall Shield
-24x36" 3/4" thick birch plywood (this part is tricky, I will explain below)
-x5 1/2" #8 Stainless Steel Screws
-Box of 3" Course Thread Drywall Screws (don't bother with the fine thread)
-Flat Black Spraypaint
-x1 squeeze tube of liquid nail
-x1 cheap paint brush (its just to spread liquid nail... I used an old paint soaked one. It doesn't matter)
-Metal Boring bits for your drill

OK to begin, the Plywood is probably the trickiest thing about this setup. Most stores won't have a prefab cut of plywood in 24x36. You can have a lot of places cut a Longer sheet down, but their tools they use to cut it...
