Castro 30 Inches Long Wall Mounted Hanging Kitchen Organizer Strong Iron Gourmet Kitchen Bar Wall Pot Rack Rail and 15 S Hooks Set Utensil Pot Pan or Lid Storage Organization

I got this to hold 8 large mugs. We knew we didn’t want to install a bulky shelf just for these, but I wasn’t sure what else to do until I saw this. We have wrought iron in our home, and I like the simplicity of this design. I wasn’t sure how many workable inches I would have as far as whether the 8 mugs would fit, and I couldn’t find anywhere here or elsewhere online that mentioned it, so for anyone else wondering, between the two bends, the bar measures 28”. I felt that 3.5” would be just about perfect, and it was. The bar was easy to install. We didn’t hit a stud but used the mollies provided. It is very secure for our purpose. I am glad that the screws provided were also black on top; I hate when they send silver-topped screws with a black or brown item, it just looks tacky. So they got that right as well. As you will see in the photo, one mug is in use so only 7 are up, but you can use your imagination, ha ha ha.

make sure you have the right screws for your wall.

Packaging was designed to keep any part from getting scratched. There are a 15 hooks which is plenty. We plan on taking some of them off. The bar itself is EXACTLY 30" in length. A common size for range hood fans is 30" so it fits perfectly. Screws and wall plugs are included which is nice. I used my own plugs, for theirs a 3/16" or 7/32" drill bit should work. Start small then go bigger. Since the screws were so close to the edge, I couldn't get my drill to fit so I used a small hand-held powered screw driver to get closer. Something I was worried about was the hooks sliding off or sliding to the side when I moved the pots and pans. I was wrong to worry. The finish on the hooks and the bar is rough enough that it keeps the hook in place. I had been planing to use black twist-ties to keep them from coming off: No need to. I wasn't interested is having it be a place to hang lids, a feature advertised, so I set it way up high against the range hood fan. Glad I bought it, wish they had a stainless one!

Really worked in my kitchen - I hung them under my cabinets as far up as possible, and between the two I ordered I have 30 spots to hold 100% of what I need. I'm even able to hang smaller cutting boards on them - they lay flat against the wall. I emptied my junk drawers and hung all my measuring cups and spoons. I ended up hanging 4 sets of measuring spoons and 3 sets of measuring cups - apparently I kept thinking they were lost somehow and buying them over and over because they end up scattered all around my kitchen vs in one easily accessible, easily spotted spot. The quality seems good and I hung them alone by bracing the bar with my non-working forearm. They seem sturdier than the usual lighter, cheaper racks I see in the store.

Short version: It holds pots and should do so forever. Long version: I got two of these and over all they are fine. They are decent powder-coated steel of some kind and seem stout enough to hold pretty hefty pots. The big failing here are the screws included. A single set of black screws of the cheapest potmetal you can imagine. You will snap these instantly if you try to put them into wood. Though putting them into wood wont likely be a problem, as they're too short to pass through most drywall and into a stud. They come with "wall anchor" sleeves, but these are a joke considering the weight the thing can hold. They include something silly like 12 hooks with this, which you'll never fit on one rack. I'd have taken half the hooks and some screws that weren't garbage. Suggestion: Throw out the screws that come with it and use a couple drywall screws. Mount a board to the wall and screw that board to at least two studs, then screw the holder to the board. This is what I did and they work great
