I am looking for a wall rack to hang my iron skillets and corn stick pans on. Will this rack support the weight ?

It will hold them but it all depends on what the screws attaching it to the wall go into. If it's studs, you should be OK. You can get heavy duty wall anchors. The screws and plastic wall anchors that come with it won't do. The metal of the rack is not real thick. Over time, the rack may twist out from the weight. Keep in mind, you may be putting a lot of weight on a long run of metal that is only supported at each end. If you balance out the weight, heavy pans at the ends and lighter toward the middle, you should be ok. You'll need to be sensible of what you're asking a wide spread of minimally supported metal to do. At a minimum, you'll need to apply some common sense on attaching to the wall. You may want to get 2 smaller ones. Hope this helps.

I have this pot rack mounted above a bay window in the kitchen. It mounts by 2 screws at each end. My screws are mounted in a stud that runs along the top of the window. It is very sturdy mounted this way. I have about 8 pans and about 5 pots hanging from the hooks and it is solid! You can double stack pots and pans on one hook. However I wouldn't trust the wallboard screws in wallboard without them being in studs. If you can not mount this bar where there are studs a good solution would be to mount a decorative back board to the wall studs and then mount the bar to the decorative back board. You could paint the board black to match the bar. Hope this helps. This bar does the job if mounted properly. I have this pot rack mounted above a bay window in the kitchen.

Our rack is holding a 14" cast iron skillet, plus assorted scanpans, fry pans and the occasional magnilite sauce pan. Doesn't seem to be stressed at all!

It depends on how many iron skillets you want to hang from it, and how big they are. This is a very sturdy rack. I brought 2 racks to fit my entire set of pots and pans plus a few more. I would say that the deciding factor would be whether or not you can get each side into a stud when mounting. I have one side in a stud and the other on a butterfly anchor and they hold a lot of weight perfectly.

Your welcome! I gave this more thought and you may also want to consider the comment I made about the hooks in my review. I think the hooks would need to be replaced too. They're a hassle with regular steel pans; the extra weight of the cast iron would make it a real inconvenience to hang or take down a pan.

Really can't say how much weight it can handle. But I'm sure if you screw the bolts into studs, it would hold pretty well.

If you mean could it handle the weight, then absolutely. I use mine as a kitchen island, and it is very sturdy.

I have only used it for towels and jewelry, so I can't give an informed answer. It's aluminum, so my guess is that it wouldn't support anything heavy, like metal tools. This rack is designed for organization and visibility of smaller items. For heavy things, better to use a pegboard and hook system.

Don't know what the weight limit is. If you use good lag screws to bolt it directly to studs in your wall it should hold a lot. The top does function as a shelh. I put the pot lids up on top.

I plan to hang many cast iron skillets and griddles from this. Am I crazy? Everyone thinks so, but the video showed it supporting a 200-lb man's weight and said it could sustain double that.

I would think yes. The rack seems sturdy yet not too heavy that it would make the pan bend. Never tried it though, so I can't say for sure.

It's pretty sturdy. The skillet I used on it is like a 10" Hard Anodized that weighs 2 lbs. and 4 oz. It seems plenty sturdy enough to handle something heavier. My cast iron skillet weighs like 4 lbs. I don't think it would have any issue with that. If you have a Walmart close by, you could go in and take a look at them. They were selling the same model for about $10 more than I paid on Amazon.

I don't know the weight limit but I do have a 9 inch cast iron skillet hanging from one of the hooks, without a problem.

This is a very sturdy rack. I would say that it could handle pots hanging from it.

I have this cabinet set and I don't think the shelves really have much of a weight limit. I'd say so go for it!

My wife has stood on it to hang things above it and she weighs around 100lbs. So I wouldn't worry about having those appliances in top of it.

If the bolts are attached into studs, I think it will handle a lot. I hung a 12" skillet, a 10" skillet, (2) 6" skillets, a 10" pot, and a 6" pot all stainless steel calphalon cookware. I ran out of space and never had any strength problems. My pantry was lined with plywood to attach to. It is very strong.

Yes! It's remarkably sturdy! If you're stacking several cast iron skillets, I'd recommend screwing it down to ensure it doesn't slide or tip.

The problem isn't so much the sturdiness of the rack, but the fact that it is so lightweight. If you can place it in a cupboard where it is firmly braced on two sides, then it's OK. If you can't brace it and use it for something heavy, it tips over.

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

I dont think it would hold it, by weight or the curve in the 's' isnt big enough either. these are to hang pots from a rack

If you drill into the studs (and not just the drywall) the weight capacity is 75 pounds. I haven't been brave enough to put our cast iron skillets on here, mostly because it's already filled up with other pots and pans. This is an amazing buy, and I absolutely love the way it has saved me tons of cabinet space.
