Before I say anything negative, this really is a beautiful pot rack.The wood is a dark cherry color, or perhaps mahogany.I'm bad with wood stains. :PThe metal is all heavy weight, perhaps cast iron, with copper colors streaked throughout.at first I thought it was distressed copper, but its too heavy and the copper color is a bit too muted. The end result is an absolutely beautiful rack. All hardware for mounting (including some plastic inserts to use to strengthen non-stud mounting) is included. You get 12 hooks... 6 very heavy duty hooks that fit in the front wooden track, and 6 lighter duty hooks that hook into the metal grate on top.The assembled product feels sturdy, and should hold the 30lb maximum weight the manufacturer certifies.
The bad...There's nothing really "bad" about this product.I do have a few concerns, but nothing overly negative.I think the design of the front wooden track/bevel could have been made stronger.since it supports the heaviest pans, I'm curious if it will break over time.Also the overall price is a bit expensive compared to some other racks.I will admit this is the only 36" rack in its class (that supports amazon prime) for around $90.
It holds weight well.I have a full tri-ply stainless steel cookware set on it, along with my enameled aluminum non-stick set.It doesn't hold all the lids unfortunately, but that's fine.I ordered a wall mount lid rack I'm going to mount underneath the pot rack to handle the second set of lids for the nonstick set.
Mounting proved to be a little difficult, but not because of the product.The wall I wanted to hang it on was paneled, and the studs did not line up with the screw holes on the rack.Considering how thin the paneling is on this wall, I opted to run over to my hardware store and bought an inexpensive 48"x12"x1" pine plank designed for making shelves to act as a backer.I cut the board to 38", a nice size to fit the rack, stained it, sealed it, and mounted it to two studs with six 2 1/2" drywall screws.I then mounted the pots and pan rack directly to the backer board.It looks nice, and its not going anywhere! :)I wanted to share that in case it might help anyone else with a difficult install scenario.When I am able I'm going to snap a picture of the finished install and post it here.
If you have medium to dark wood cabinets with a hint of red, this rack will compliment them easily.This may not be the cheapest rack out there, but I think it's the most attractive.I'm giving it 5 stars despite my issue with the price, because ultimately I'd buy this again if I had to do it over.

I ordered this because Amazon wrote up it required 3 standard base bulbs ... which was exactly what I needed.
