Mounting problem solved!
By fyurguy
As stated in a previous review, this rack has to be mounted directly into the wall studs. Unfortunately, the limited space in my small kitchen and the location that I wanted to mount the shelf did not allow for mounting the shelf directly into wall studs. The solution.....I attached a 24" X 36" piece of 3/4" birch plywood into the studs using eight 3" drywall screws (it's a good idea to countersink the screws into the plywood). To the plywood, I laminated a 24" X 36" stainless steel backsplash (available at Lowes or Home Depot for about 30 bucks) with liquid nails and four screws (holes are pre-drilled on each corner). I could then mount the bookshelf rack into the plywood/stainless steel backsplash without having to worry about mounting the unit into studs. You can also add some trim around the edges of the plywood/stainless to hide the plywood edges. My Cuisinart Mult-Clad Pro cookware looks great displayed from this rack. The mount is rock solid.If this solution exceeds your carpentry skills, I would recommend hiring a handyman to complete the job. It should take no more than one hour to complete the mounting. I would also recommend going to the hardware store and purchasing four American-made lag bolts and four stainless steel wood screws (the bolts provided with the shelf are metric and cheaply made). My total investment in the project (not including the shelf) was $39.50 and well worth the additional expense. I would love to include pictures with this review but I keep getting a message that Amazon is experiencing technical difficulties uploading pictures. I will however, keep trying and update this review with pictures. In closing, I would even use this method for mounting if I didn't have issues with the location of the studs. The plywood/backsplash protects the wall from cookware dings and looks great!UPDATE: Finally got a couple of pictures to upload. My my next Amazon purchase will probably be a good digital camera!

Sturdy and well made
By A. Cowart
Looks very nice with a brushed stainless finish and compliments stainless steel appliances perfectly. Quite heavy. Keep in mind that to mount this unit safely on sheet rock walls that you must screw it into the wall studs. The unit has two mounting holes drilled at 32 inches, which is correct if your builder has spaced the studs properly on 16 inch centers, [ good luck on this if you live in the Atlanta area as we do].The wood screws supplied with this unit are of the cheap import variety and snap easily when torqued down. One of them broke off in the wall , forcing us to drill it out of the wall and replace it with an oversized screw. Save yourself the headache and buy four U.S. made screws and toss the others away before you begin.Lastly, the hook hangers that come with this unit are all of equal length and hang at a bit of an angle. I didn't think that made for the most efficient use of the space available and I got my husband to shorten and bend a couple of them in order to hang pans at varying heights. The hooks are made of heavy gauge stainless steel and are VERY tough to cut and bend. If you wish to do this you'll need a good vice and a strong arm.

Great purchase - easy to install
By Mark D.
Very happy. Comes with 12 hooks, so there is not need to get additional pit hangers. Fairly easy to install, and the bolts that came with it worked fine. You will need a drill, a level, and a stud finder to install. No issues so far after three months and multiple compliments from friends!
