This pot rack is a heavy duty iron pot rack with a large storage capacity. When it arrived, I could barely lift the package by myself. Working together with my father-in-law, we had it assembled and installed in about an hour using a screw driver and pliers (not included). The assembly instructions were clear, so we had no goof-ups. I've got my pot rack mounted over an island that divides my kitchen from my dining room, where it provides a good visual separation of the two areas without blocking communication between them. It also has excellent storage capacity- -it holds all of my cooking pots and frying pans as well as their lids. I keep some of my extra-large bowls in the rack on top.

Since I'm only 5' 2", I get quite annoyed with most kitchen cabinets because they all seem to be too high to be of any use to me. But with this pot rack, the pots all hang down where I can reach them, yet they're still high enough so that my 6' tall husband can work at the island counter beneath the pots and not bump his head. To reach items on the top rack, however, I need to get a chair because it's about 7' off the ground. If the rack were hung any lower, then the hanging pots would get in the way of the counter, so you really need at least an 8' ceiling to use this rack properly.

I've been quite satisfied with the quality of this pot rack. The price was about a quarter of the one that our kitchen designer had originally selected for us. I can't imagine what extra features the luxury brand might have brought us because I don't see where this one has cut corners in looks or sturdiness at all.

I bought this pot rack about 2 years ago and I have to say it was better than I had hoped it would be!!! It is absolutely beautiful. We recently sold our home and the buyers actually loved the pot rack so much they requested that we leave it with the home. So, here I am buying another one. That is how much I loved it! I can't live without one at my new home!

My husband had a little trouble installing my first one because he couldn't find the floor beams in our home very easily. A stud finder solved the problem and within 30 minutes it was completely installed.

I would recommend this pot rack to anyone looking. . .

I bought this for my mother for Christmas because she is shorter than 5 foot tall and her house has limited storage space. She was able to clean out two cabinets and it looks great in her country style kitchen. I definitely recommend this for anyone who loves to cook.

My fiancee and I had looked at many different style potracks and had been the most impressed with Enclume but the price was very high. We had recently decided to change how to hang our All Clad Stainless cookware to just plain bars when I decided to look on Amazon.com. I found the Old Dutch PotRack and decided to purchase it for the looks, what our needs were and the great price. We just love the potrack. It was very easy to hang, has a very solid look and feel to it and it looks great in our kitchen. We now have our All Clad Stainless cookware easily accessible. We decided to take out the grate in the middle to be able to hang our large roaster. I would recommend it to anyone.

This is a terrific addition to a kitchen where one enjoys cooking. It's nice looking and well built. With 24 hooks it's possible to display all the tools and pans you want for easy access. We have a 9 ft ceiling and the pot rack hangs at just the right height over our island. Really like this new addition to our cooking area.

This is a well made product. The hardware was extremely sturdy. The screw hooks into the ceiling joists were very substantial. The supplied hooks to connect the rack to the ceiling hooks, would have lowered the rack too much for our ceiling. So we went to the hardware store and bought two very nice oval links and then spray painted them to match the graphite rack. Worked beautifully. The rack is very stable, doesn't tip, perhaps becasue the pots hang from the grid work. The pot lids are very conveniently stored on the top of the grid. I heartily recommend this product.

I am very happy with the thermos. Now my kids will be able to eat hot lunch from now on. I spent too much money on other brands that would just keep the food cold no matter how much I followed instructions on the product. I followed the same instructions with this nissan product and the results are hot lunches for my kids. It is easy to use and very compact that it fits perfectly in any lunchbox. I highly recommend this product.

I have several Nissan Products and they all outperform any of the others I have tried in the past. This product is awesome for 4 Hours or so if...
#1 Read and follow directions on preheating. (5 minutes with boiling water well capped)
#2 Use common sense, If you are in cold weather place this on or in a thin cloth until ready to use. If you set it on a cold surface that is solid for hours, you are leeching cold into the container since it is solid.
#3 Sounds dumb I know but I have a friend who was doing this.
When your food is ready to put in, immediatley pour out the boiling water and replace with your thoroughly heated food, then immediatley cap. (A few minutes can mean all the world)

We have two of these Nissan Thermos 9.5 ounce containers. They have been going to school with my child daily for the past 2 1/2 years. When you pre-heat them properly with boiling water for 5 minutes, this container keeps noodles HOT for at least 4 hours. Ours are dented and scuffed and generally abused, but they still function perfectly!

Don't pay any attention to the obviously disgruntled person that left all three 1 star reviews--seems they don't know how to read the 2 line directions that came with the container!
