Is it sturdy enough to hold cast iron skillets without bending the sorter?

Yes, it is sturdy enough to hold cast iron pans. I has truly lived up to my standards.Sandra

I believe so, especially since the largest heaviest skillet would be on the bottom.

It depends on the design of the skillet/pan and the weight of the handle. Some skillet/pans are not stable.

I think so. I have a set of Stainless Steel and one cast iron on mine. And a few cookbooks in the lid rack. It's holding steady. Well made and solid, so long as it's mounted well, it should have no issue with cast iron.

The under shelf platter holder is quite sturdy. I use it to store a flat cast iron griddle. The biggest limitation I found was the item to be stored cannot be too tall (thick) as the shelf hooks extend downward somewhat.

It is definitely sturdy enough. I am not sure about the finish being food grade/safe.I use mine to top a rolling toolbox for a work surface in the shop.As far as visually, it would look great in a kitchen.

Yes. Although it's lightweight it's sturdy enough that it won't fall over. I have a ton of utensils in it and have no problems. I'm very happy with mine

Yes, it's very sturdy. Even my large Keurig, filled with water, will not cause this particular drawer to sag!

Don't remember there being a weight limit. it is very sturdy and I think would have no problem holding cast iron cookware. oh yes the top shelf can be used for storage I have pots and lids and a plant on mine. I LOVE my rack. I kid you not everytime someone comes into my kitchen the comment on it and how nice it is and ask where to get one.

Yes, I have one on my rack, on the row above the bottom (I'd thought that it would be too heavy for anywhere but the bottom which rests on the floor of the cabinet, but it holds it great!) I could put more cast iron on it - no problem.

It is very light weight, but I have dried my stock pots and skillets on it. I have stainless cookware which is mid-weight. I would not place heavy cast iron on this but I trust it with my glass lids. Considering the price, it is quite serviceable. It comes dismantled and you have to assemble. Make sure you tighten the bolts and check them occasionally when in use since they will work loose.

Yes. Very sturdy and long enough to keep away from heated skillets/pans. Super fun colors too!

I don't see why it wouldn't, if it's properly installed/anchored. I've got power and hand tools that outweigh the cast iron cookware hanging from mine.

I haven't had any issues with the handle bending or breaking. It is as sturdy as a five gallon bucket.

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.

It handles (2) 16" cast iron dutch ovens filled with stew, no issues, no bending. The guy who had to "bend and reweld" must of bought a used or damaged one. Our scout troop owns 5 and the scouts beat the snot out of them and they're fine after 3 years.

They are very sturdy. I have hung my 12 inch cast iron skillet from one of them and it did not bend at all.

It depends on how you hang it. If it is anchored into studs, you should be fine. You'll want to check the weight limit on the anchors you buy, but it should be fine. Ours as anchored into studs and we have 2 cast irons that we hang from it - one is small, and the other is a little larger, but we don't have any very large/heavy pans we hang from it.
