Nice Rack, Installation might be a small challenge in some kitchens
I initially purchased the smaller sibling of this rack J.K. Adams PRC-24 Mini Ceiling Oval Pot Rack, Natural but found it a bit too small for my needs. The larger model turned out to be more suited to the quantity of cookware I had accumulated over the years.
The mounting points for this rack are on 11-1/4" by 32" centers. For those of you who will be mounting the rack across your joists, this should make installation fairly straightforward, easy, and quick, assuming your joists are on standard 16" centers. If, like me, you are mounting the rack running with your joists, things get more challenging. And, when you are also mounting the rack over a counter whose relationship with the joists can only be described as "unfortunate", it gets slightly more complicated.
I solved my problem with two 34" long 3.5" wide oak planks, fastened into three joists, using 3" #12 brass wood screws,...
Very functional and high quality
This is a great pot rack that I will take with me if I ever move. The combo of metal and wood is done well an adds to the functionality. The wood rails allow for the hooks to slide to the desired spot with no weight on them. This allows for adjustment every time you hang a pot or pan if you wish to keep them from hitting each other. The rack hangs by 8 inch hooks and you can add additional 8 or 4 inch to achieve your desired height. The look is cleaner than a chain. The rack is made to come apart if you wish to refinish or paint the wood to another color. I like the natural lighter wood it came with myself. You won't be disappointed with this rack.
Nice, but really small
One of the downsides of purchasing things on-line is that it is easy to make a mis-judgement about something you have never seen or handled. Because we have a small, "galley style" kitchen (which I hate!) I asssumed that this would be the right model for our home. However, it was much smaller than I realized, and I am returning it in favor of the larger version of the same rack. (It was so much smaller than I realized, that I never even bothered to open the packaging - it was possible to tell from the sealed box that I had made an error. I am sure that this is a nice rack, as I have received and opened the larger model and am pleased with it. But you may have more room than you think, so consider the possibility that the larger model may fit.
