I guess I didn't think of how much space this would be taking up. Don't get me wrong, it seems to hold up well with my 3 various cast iron pans plus a few other small non-sticks (I did notice a bit of bending when I put a 10" square cast iron near the top, I'm sure this would worsen over time if not careful), so overall good purchase for what it is. Buuuut I'm in an apartment so counter space is limited. I can put it in a lower cabinet but it blocks the shelf, and I know I can lay the holder on its side but I really bought it to hold my cast iron flat because I like to keep them oiled. So: 1.Holds up nice with heavy pots/pans, but try to keep heavier stuff on bottom three levels
2. If you have the space, great, this will help organize your cookware wherever you choose.
3. If you have limited space think about that before buying...it might not suit your needs.
Fits & Works perfectly! It was easy to put together too and honestly I wish I had bought something like this years ago as it will keep all of my non scratch pans unscratched vs the pyramid style stack I had them in.
Nice product. Sturdy. I keep a large cast iron pan with 2.5 " sides on the bottom and other pans on the higher racks. The largest pan in size is 12" in diameter.
This unit is sturdy on its own and I have not needed to fasten it to the cupboard floor with the enclosed screws. It comes packaged in 2 pieces that you simply put together. There are also 4 screws to ensure it stays together but i didn't use them and it stays together just fine.
I am pleased with this purchase and recommend it.
This organizer works beautifully! No more cluttered cabinets!
When I need a skillet (pan) I pull one out in a matter of seconds versus digging through hazardously piled pans that my family carelessly threw back in after they were clean.
I did not have any issues with any of my pans fitting in the slot, and even my extra large pan (used for sauteing large quantities of vegies) fit into the slot, but does stick out ever so slightly. The ONLY pan that does not fit into an actual slot is my deep pan skillet, one I use for making stews. I was entirely expecting that and instead use the very top rack (like in the photo) for it to sit on top of. So counting the top space, this rack fits UP to 5 skillets.
You do have to put the racks together upon un-boxing, but its simply putting the two pieces together and putting in two screws to tighten the two rack pieces. The product (once assembled) is VERY sturdy. There is the option to actually screw it down (in place) on your cabinets, but I have not found the need to use it.
I definitely recommend this product if you need to organize your pans more effectively. Just make sure you make proper measurements BEFORE you purchase it, that way you're certain it will not only fit your pans, but also the space you are thinking of storing it at.
Just received this rack (with all its parts and pieces) and really happy with the rack's color, strength, compact size, ease of assembly. Bummed I can't get my monster saute in it too, but I knew before ordering it wasn't going to fit based on reading questions/reviews so no surprise, no issue. Will add some photos, and I would recommend it for keeping normal sized sauté pans / lids organized, protected, and within arms reach. I was tired of bending over and digging around in the oven drawer to lift up the smaller ones and pull out the larger one I wanted at the bottom without clanging them around together. This should help!
I love to be organized and I couldn't stand just throwing my pots and pans in a cabinet and having to fight with all of them when I needed to get one out. I thought this would be a great fix to the problem. Well... I was really disappointed with this product. The brackets that the pits sit on are weak and bend/slope downwards easily, the pans want to slip and slide on the brackets, and it's just not that sturdy. It's kind of awkward to use..
I ordered 2 after reading the reviews. I actually got an email from Yummly.com on 9/7 with Fall kitchen finds, and this was featured for organization.
Our "stacked" pans were getting annoying....and heavy to keep moving, plus I had all the lids. I had a smaller item like this that I used for lids, but it wasn't working in that area. I got my racks on 9/9. I put our most used pans on one, with the deeper skillet on top. Perfect! Then the second one in the less used area of the cabinet for my stainless steel pans, plus my Pampered Chef grill pan on top. Perfect again. I used the smaller one for the lids and my cabinet looks and functions great! So happy I saw this! It has made our lives so much easier! I did not attach to the cabinet. It stands perfectly fine.
It was better quality than I thought it would be. It worked perfect. Definitely helped organize the cabinet of pots and pans. Made a cluttered mess into an organized functional space. Would recommend it to anybody.. the cabinet in the picture was just a pile of pots and pans stacked on top of each other very unproductive and unorganized. Now I can just reach in and grab the fry pan I want and it left plenty of room for my pots to stay to the right. You could not even see the bottom of my cabinet before. Thanks again for a good product
I was really looking forward to getting all my pans organized and have easy access to them. Unfortunatel, all compartments are the same height, no taller than an inch and a half. Out of the five pans that I constantly use only one was short enoght to fit in. Its a shame the space was not tall enough for me or for the rack to be adjustable.
I have 3 different styles of these type of pan, lid, cutting board etc.. organizer and this one just works better..
The design of it keeps out fry pans More Upright, they lean less and look more "Perfect in the Drawer " when used on its side.
I am ordering a second one now, little expensive for what it is, and the build is lighter to "Mid" weight, and it is not as "Pretty" as some of the polished gold ones we have, but it holds the pans much nicer by far. 4.5 Stars.
Perfect for stacking frying pans in cluttered cupboards. Stands upright without needing to be screwed or secured to the cupboard. Keeps pans from scratching each other!
I honestly love this so much, it has saved me SO much room and organization stress!!! Easy even the whole family is happier putting pans away and taking then out!
I have the rack full including a wok type pan that is deep. The rack comes with a screw to attach to your shelves which I have not done. Even without that, it seems sturdy. Sure is nice not to hear all the banking when I'm looking for the right frying pan.
Amazing, my wife and I love how it looks in the kitchen and a great way to organize our pans
Good idea ! A little thinner than I had hoped but it's pretty sturdy I guess.
All of my pans have lids and even when lids are stored upside down in the pan they are still to thick for the rack
I am using the rack to hold frying pans ....It works ver well but needs to be sturdier for heavier (cast iron) pans.
I do love it as it keeps pans organized and saves space.
