KineticPot, Black with Silver Rack

After spending a lot of time looking both online and in stores, I decided on this pot rack. After looking at and comparing the various aspects of several racks, this Innova model offered by Amazon made the most sense and was clearly the best buy for the money; all things considered. Simply put, there were units costing well over $100 or more, that really didn't offer much more (if anything) for the higher cost - some were even over $200+ !! And at just under 40 clams and super-fast, 3-day free shipping, I couldn't be more happy with my choice and the Ama-Zoney purchase experience. The rack is both well-built and spacious at 34" X 17". The finish is a smooth, satin black and the center grill is bright and shiny metal - which looks nice together. The hardware kit provides a generous 12 hooks to hang the cookware and 4 chains and ceiling hooks to allow for a stable, "rock-free/won't tip" installation - real important, as some units with 2 hooks & chains can easily tip if the weight of the hanging cookware is not closely balanced and even on both sides. This can easily happen if you needed to use 2 pieces of cookware that happened to be on the same side of the rack, leaving the opposite side considerably more heavy and the whole mess could tip over; dropping your nice cookware on the floor or somebody's unsuspecting head! So, be sure and use ALL 4 hooks and do it right!! Also, it is important to try and screw the ceiling hooks directly into the wood ceiling joists (beams) if possible, especially if you plan on loading this bad boy up with heavy cookware, like I did. If you're not going to, than just use the proper toggle bolts and you should be fine. But as always, screwing the hooks directly into the joists is clearly the most secure way to fasten anything that has to support any considerable weight. Also, try and mount the hooks, close to the same dimensions that are on the 4 holes in the rack - this also allows for both a "plumb" and more stable rack. I think the rack also looks nicer, when the chains hang plumb (completely vertical), as opposed to being "angled". On my particular installation, I was replacing an existing pot rack and there were already 4 holes in the ceiling that were screwed into the ceiling joists. So, to keep the install solid, I simply slid the 4 hooks/chains more towards the outside corners of the new rack to keep it as plumb and stable as possible, without the need to re-drill any new holes. I also added 4 lighting canopies from Home Depot ($5 each) to improve the kind of crude, unfinished look that black hooks alone offer. This allows for a smoother and more attractive transition from the chains to the ceiling - a real nice finishing touch that makes the unit look more elegant and expensive. I also spent the whopping 97 cents at Wal-Mart and spray-painted both the canopies and the chains a very similar black finish for a more consistent and matching appearance (see my photos). I added a tulip light kit to the pot rack to further enhance it's appearance and brighten up my stove and counter areas. (You can also add a black clip on, flexible light that I saw at Home Depot for about $9). I am totally pleased with the finished look I got for the money; after adding only a few inexpensive and easy personal tweaks of my own. This rack offers a great value for the money that most people would be completely pleased with. If you're more of the "style-over-substance" type, than you'll likely have to spend 4X-6X the coin to satisfy your taste. For me, this rack has both great functionality and looks more than good enough for the money. Enjoy life!

I researched and deliberated over the hanging rack that would work for me and chose this one based on the reviews available at the time. I have had experience with other hanging pot racks, including much more expensive brands, custom made and wooden ones and had concerns. The most important thing with this pot rack was to get it installed directly into solid overhead joists to maximize the weight capacity and to avoid ceiling or other damage. A retired building contractor friend took care of that concern for me and for six months now, I have been enjoying my purchase daily. Having it has opened up kitchen storage space for other items and provided really convenient access to all of my most used stovetop cookware!I have an entire set of Calphalon pots and pans, some All-Clad, several copper pots, a couple of heavy woks, a half dozen fry pans and a couple of heavy cast iron skillets hanging from the rail, plus a large stainless steel roasting pan and rack sitting on top. Because I am short, my lids are stored elsewhere. The rack is solid, attractive and came with everything needed. I would have liked to order more of the same hooks, but they were not available at the time of my order, so I have acquired a couple sizes from Ikea and they work, but aren't quite as attractive as the originals.This rack is ample for a normal home kitchen, but is not large. Since it is attached to the ceiling at four points, it does not swing or sway very much and feels solid when lifting items on and off. Mine is black, but I understand that there is a stainless model, as well. I was very pleased with the price, especially compared to those available in local retail stores, and it arrived much faster than promised. I would definitely buy this product again and feel that it is a real asset to both the functionality and appearance of my kitchen.

After looking for a larger hanging rack for my new cookware, I found this item on Amazon. I was a little nervous, given the price difference between this and other hanging racks. But the reviews were positive so I took the chance. I have decided to add my comments to the list of positive reviews.I would ideally give this item a 4.5 rating. I think a hanging rack is ultimately to showcase the cookware and not itself. In that respect, this is a great rack, clean and unobtrusive. The hooks are very nice, pinched on the rack end to help keep them from lifting. The hanging hardware and chain was also unobtrusive and ready to install, at what seemed a perfect height for my kitchen. I did not use the supplied ceiling hooks because I needed toggle hooks to go into my plaster ceiling.My only (minor) negative comment is that the black metal oval bar piece is less heavy than my previous, circular ceiling rack. It just doesn't have that heavy, wrought bar quality. The flat metal is neither as thick or tall as other pot racks I have had and seen. However, it is more than sufficient and durable for all the pots I have on it. The triple ply looks great hanging from it. I highly recommend this rack for anyone who is trying to understand why most pot racks cost so dang much. This item has a great price and will make your cookware look great!

Easy to install, looks good, worth the money.The welds are neat and tidy, quality all round.Great price

No trae taquetes pero una vez encontrados los taquetes indicados fue fácil de instalar y me siento muy satisfecha con esta compra aunque tenía miedo de hacer las perforaciones en el techo pues tiene una gran capa de yeso como se coloca a cuatro puntos queda muy bien trae las cuatro cadenas que puse dobles por la altura de mi techo y muchos hanchos, cuatro argollas que van al techo solo faltan los taquetes

Shipped quick and looks awesome.

Aguanta mucho peso, es lo que más me gusto además de que luce muy bien 👍

I use it to hang pans and other bulky kitchen items that don't fit in my cupboards.
