How many mounting holes are there? Could it withstand pots sitting on the top 'and' pans hanging on the hooks?

It is quite robust. Mine is screwed to the wall with four screws but there are six holes for screws. They are irregularly placed, presumably so that you are more likely to hit a stud in the wall. I am pleased with mine and have added extra hooks, but I don't have pots stacked on top.

Two on each side. I cut the she rock. And then I put a supporting between the two studs to give it greater strength. I have but a few hundred pounds on it. Get it professionally installs if you are going to put heavy things on it.

Four...they give you plastic anchors. Yes, it is rock solid. I have one large wok with lid on top and then many large pans hanging (deep saute pans, large skillets, large sauce pans, etc.).

Yes. We have several pots and pans hanging from it and a heavy ceramic bowl on top for decoration but you could also put a heavy pot on top.

There are 4 main mounting hole. 2 outer and 2 on the inner corner. The blots supplied come with anchors so that it will hold up even if you do not have the studs to mount the rack. I was skeptical at first as I had to us the anchors for the outer bolts but it has held up for the past 6 months under fully loaded conditions and shows no signs of weakening.

There are 4 mounting locations. This should be mounted to studs in order to hold the weight.If mounted properly to studs, it can hold pots and pans on both the top and on the hooks.

If properly mounted up to 200. I have mine loaded up with several heavy cast iron pans. Maybe the concept Housewares website can tell you specifics.

In my experience it will hold the weight if mounted properly. I currently have a stainless set, one large cast iron pan, and several heavy text books on mine to test its durability. It's been almost a year and no issue! If you've got it mounted to studs, I think you're smooth sailing.

Yes, you can fit that many. We have two racks side by side and have more skillets than any one kitchen should ever have. We made sure it was fastened into a stud because we knew we'd be putting some weight on them. If you hang them in the right order, they'll sort of nest in each other--making ample room, and the material of the pot rack is really sturdy as are the hooks. Just get an extra set of the hooks. Forgot to mention that ours hang freely since the rack is attached to the lower edge of an overhang, but I think the nesting effect would still work even if there were a wall behind them. Hope this helps. Yes, you can fit that many. We have two racks side by side and have more skillets than any one kitchen should ever have.

Yes you should be able to hang 7 pots. We have 6 plus a colander and a couple of strainers.

I think it holds up to 300lbs. It depends on size of pots to how much you can fit.

The unit is steel so I think it mostly depends on your anchor points. I have mine in studs and it seems solid. I have 3 large pans, 1 small pan, a large and small pot hanging. All stainless.

It has hooks for hanging the chains (though we modified the design to screw directly into wood pieces) AND about a dozen s hooks for hanging your pots and pans. While the overall construction could have been a bit stronger, it's worked well and is definitely worth the price.

I have 6 pans/ pots hanging. (paula deans) a stock pot on the top along with some cook books

I have cast iron cookware as well. I mounted my rack to wall studs, and it securely holds 3 large cast iron skillets and a full set of pots and pans. This is a thin rack, so the shelf storage is minimal. Cook books and larger pots don't sit flush on the shelf, but I let them stick out a bit. The thinner size works for my kitchen space.

The mounts to the wall, no. The pot hooks, yes. Each of them can be placed anywhere. You can also purchase extras/more. The hooks that fit over the front edge are made different than the rest.

I have this screwed into the studs and it is LOADED with 12 pans hanging from hooks and a couple of cookbooks and some lids on the top shelf. I don't think it's going anywhere!

Yes I have two frying pans and two pots hanging from mine for over a year and it is very sturdy.

I don't know the exact weight limits on the bar or per hook, but I can tell you that I used mine for a regular set of pots plus 2-3 cast iron skillets. Just make sure you screw into studs and put the heaviest pots closer to the screws rather than the middle of the bar. If studs are hard to find or not spaced properly, you can mount a 2x4 on the wall and get that screwed into studs and then mount the bar to that. Not the prettiest solution but you could paint the wood black to mask it.

Well, I hang my All Clad pans from them with no problem. I don't think you would have trouble using them for anything like that, but I don't know about things that weigh much more than that. They are very sturdy, although I can't say exactly what their weight limit is. Absolutely fine for my pots and pans.

I mounted it on my ceiling and hang eight frying pans from it. To get the pans to hang perpendicular to the rack you need to use hang two of the S-hooks together to rotate the tip of the hook 90 degrees. The single S-hook protrudes out from the rack (like in the pic) and you can only hang a couple of pans from the bar that way. But when you rotate the S-hook you can nest a lot of pans together. It's definitely strong enough to hang any numbers pots and pans, to answer your question, as long as you mount it into wood and not drywall.

I haven't weighed the pots & pans I have hanging on this, but for about 6 months now it has successfully supported 2 cast iron skillets, 3 stainless steel skillets, 4 handled pots of varying sizes and 4 glass lids. I would just recommend making sure it's well anchored in the wall.
