Terrific Pot Rack
After spending a bit of time trying to decide if I wanted this rack or not, I decided to make the jump and purchased the item.
When the package was delivered I looked at the bag of nuts and bolts and metal rods and thought to myself "oh great ... three hours of assembly" and went to get my power screwdriver.
After only 30 minutes or so the rack was fully assembled in my kitchen looking pretty darn good. The pot rack is sturdy and the graphite colored powder finish blends in nicely with my kitchen while helping me keep the clutter to a minimum.
The only thing that needs improving is the assembly method connecting the upper half of the rack to the lower half. The two halves are bolted together with four screws on each support but there's enough play in the assembly that the rack kinks if you're not careful and ruins the straight line of the support. Doesn't seem to affect the strength of the rack but it's noticeable.
Aside from the aesthetic glitch, the rack is...
I am woman!
I am Woman hear me roar!
After receiving the 60" Old Dutch pot stand in graphite from Amazon.com, I decided to wait a couple of weeks before I put it together since one reviewer seemed to have a difficult time with the assembly.
Today was my day and I had absolutely no problems putting the pot stand together. The important thing is for everyone to take a moment to read the directions, which are clear, simple and precise.
After opening the box and separating the parts, I sat down with a cup of coffee to review the assembly. I took my time, made sure that all parts were available (which they were) and within 45 minutes I had my new, beautiful pot stand. I say 45 minutes, because I occasionally sat down to take a moment for myself before I would start the next part. The pot stand is very level; not wobbly. The metal is nice and thick and the piece looks expensive.
The only advice I would give you since I speak from experience putting together cast iron furniture is:...
Excellent value!
Like other reviewers, I have seen a similar (but smaller) version of this pot rack at a local Sur La Table store. The Sur La Table pot rack is about a foot shorter...and costs $200!! I was able to assemble this pot rack in about 30 minutes--I didn't even have to ask my husband to help! It is a good weight and seems sturdy, even under the weight of 6 LeCreuset cast iron pieces. This rack is very upscale-looking and an excellent value for the price. You should get one!!
