Will this rack hold pots and pans? Reviews say it's flimsy.

I only have the small one which is not flimsy at all. I put pots on it, fill it with dishes and glasses, and anything else needed. It's not large enough for a big pan though.

It is very light weight, but I have dried my stock pots and skillets on it. I have stainless cookware which is mid-weight. I would not place heavy cast iron on this but I trust it with my glass lids. Considering the price, it is quite serviceable. It comes dismantled and you have to assemble. Make sure you tighten the bolts and check them occasionally when in use since they will work loose.

It will hold small pots and pans on both levels. Bottom level will be 12 inches in height.

Yes, it can, but it depends how big they are, of course.What is flimsy is the glasses holder.Be carfull when putting them on and off.Always watch it!

Please don't waste your money on this product. It's not only flimsy, but it starts to rust in a week. I wanted to return it and they didn't take it back, never got any answer not my money back. Terrible product, threw my money away and ended up buying something else.

You will probably only be able to use the bottom two shelves. My husband assembled mine and it's a little wobbly and I would definitely not put cast iron pots on it. My pots in fact are lightweight and just right for the piece. I wouldn't suggest cast iron even if you assembled it the right way. I don't think it's sturdy enough.

As longs as you anchor it properly, it should hold that and much more. Ours holds 13 pots and pans and all of the lids.

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

I don't know how much weight it will hold exactly--on that I would check with the manufacturer if possible. It will really depend on how you mount it, as others have mentioned. If you mount it in joists, it will be a great deal more sturdy. We have lots of pots and pans hanging from ours, as well as a few big pots on the shelf part, and some light baskets and lids. So far, so good! Hope this helps! :-)

I haven't weighed the pots & pans I have hanging on this, but for about 6 months now it has successfully supported 2 cast iron skillets, 3 stainless steel skillets, 4 handled pots of varying sizes and 4 glass lids. I would just recommend making sure it's well anchored in the wall.

It holds quite well. Just don't overload it with dishes bc it will not fit causing the dishes or pot to fall over. Trust me i tried to overload it with pots and dish..my pots were falling over. :)

I believe it is strong enough to support a standard-sized cast-iron pot, if that is what you are referring to. If you are referring to a footed camp-style Dutch oven, probably not.

Small pots and pans are no problem. Something with approx. 14" diameter should also fit with no issues.

The cabinet has the room to store pots and pans. I'm not sure if the bottom of the cabinet would hold a lot of weight.

I have heavy stainless pans and it's fine (I screwed it to the floor of the cupboard). Works very well for fry pans but not enough space between shelves for sauce pans unless they're pretty small.

You should be able to reach the pots and pans easily enough if you hang the rack a bit lower, but you won't be able to reach items sitting on top of the center rack/storage shelf. I need a stepstool for that, so I only put things up there that I don't need very often.

I have about 3 pots and pans hanging from mine, with the lids on top. More than enough strength for that. As for a certain weight restriction, Im not sure. Depending on how you fasten it to the wall would probably determine that. I used the sheetrock hooks that go in and spread out behind the wall and tighten up. The alternative would be to find a stud and that would provide the most strength. Just using the sheetrock though for me has been fine. the wood that the shelf consists of is very strong andi would guess could hold up to 30 pounds easily.

I think that if you use the side pieces along with the racks it should be sturdy enough. The side pieces help to keep it steady. I only had room for two without the side parts, where I was putting it, but I did see this with multiple sets before I bought mine.

Yes, I have a pot lid holder rack with metal feet and I just double up the liner for that shelf because with 1 liner it slightly bows where the feet sit, but with 2, its thick enough to hold a good amount of weight. I only had 2 shelves on my unit, so i really only needed 2 liners, but it came with 4 so doubling them up for me wasn't a problem.

I have cast iron cookware as well. I mounted my rack to wall studs, and it securely holds 3 large cast iron skillets and a full set of pots and pans. This is a thin rack, so the shelf storage is minimal. Cook books and larger pots don't sit flush on the shelf, but I let them stick out a bit. The thinner size works for my kitchen space.

Not very well. The rack is designed for curved pans in a vertical arrangement.
