Can you store heavy pots and pans on the shelves

You've probably already decided whether or not to purchase this, but I wanted to respond in the event others have the same question. The answer is a definite "no". I've owned this cabinet for well over a year, and I would still probably give it a solid 4 stars, but over time the plastic shelves have begun to droop dramatically with only the storage of hand tools. I'm sure others, who have owned the cabinet longer, have had a similar experience. Unfortunately, it is the nature of plastic to fatigue and stretch under stress and over time.

I would think so, though of course it depends on how many you plan to put one shelf. It is a pretty sturdy unit.

I would use the lower shelves for heavy pots, but I would not go any higher than the bottom two. My wife has it packed full of dishes, and it is holding up pretty well.

I think a weight of 30/40 lbs. per shelf would be OK, providing it was not in the center of a shelf on a small area.

As long as you install it correctly, i.e. on studs, it should be no problem if the pans have holes in their handles for the hangers. If not, you can always store them on top as well.

Yes - the shelves are adjustable. Of course, that will limit how many you can store.

I have many small plastic pots and saucers on the shelves. I would say it can bear quite a bit of weight, considering the pots are often wet.

Yes! I am pretty sure that this can hold very large, or very heavy pots. It is VERY sturdy. I am confident that cookware size wouldn't be an issue with this awesome stove :)

The product is good for use under heavy pots and pans. The best way to keep it from sliding is to cut it to snugly fit your shelf.

I have used this self in my closet but I believe it would work as well in a pantry use. I do not believe the shelves could carry weight of cast iron pans,etc. but if you would only stack cans or dry goods it would work.

It is sturdy enough for pans. I have it placed in a cupboard in the upright position, and I have cookies sheets, cake pans, and some other miscellaneous bakeware stored in it. However, if you're are going to use it for heavy items, I would recommend screwing it down to the cupboard, or perhaps using command picture hanging strips to make sure it doesn't move around when you're pulling items out. I don't think I would feel comfortable storing plates in it, however, due to their breakable nature. Sometimes the wires pop out and things fall down. If they're round plates, they'll roll out. You could glue the wires in, I suppose, though.

I don't think this is designed to hold things like sheet pans. The sides are wide open and the pans would justfall to one side. The shelf is perfect for the things shown in the illustration.

Yes I believe so. I use mine for storing clothes. I think if you put heavier items on the bottom shelf it could work, lighter items on the top shelves. I love my cabinet. Would buy it again. Got lots of compliments on it.

Yes, it has been sturdy enough for my stainless steel pots and pans without any problems. You will want side support for frying pans. Usually I'll prop a plate up, then the frying pan next to it. It is a good little rack.

Yes, on the removable shelf that is provided. The built in magnet might secure your pan if you use a metal one.

I placed mine in the gap farthest from the wall for my large pans and as the pots got smaller I placed them closer to the wall. You can put them anywhere you want to. Experiment.

I don't really know but I store a large crockpot and a deep fryer on the bottom shelf, a George Foreman grill and an electric skillet on the shelf 2nd from the bottom, a toaster and another large crockpot on the wooden shelf, a toaster oven on the 2nd shelf and a blender and chopper on the top. It should hold the weight of a microwave as long as the size fits on the shelf.

I'm not sure exactly how much, but I have stored several fairly heavy cast iron pots/pans, glassware, etc. It feels very, very sturdy. If we're talking like 100+ lbs, I have no idea. For everyday storage, it should hold up very well!

Yea they can. Been using the unit a lot and I foresee no issue with using it with out the shelves. They are just there for a convenience factor.

The specs list the max weight per shelf as 90lbs. It's a very sturdy shelving unit, so pots and pans (cast iron or not) will not prove to be an issue.
