Would it be possible to hang this from two hooks, instead of four? Would two hooks anchored into ceiling studs be strong enough to hold it?

That *might* work but the rack alone is very heavy - with the pots and pans daggling, it weighs it down even more. I wouldn't risk ruining your ceiling!

I'm not going to say "no" because I think they'd be "strong" enough... however by using only 2 hooks you're basically creating a swing... If you picture something like a tire swing with 4 chains verses a wooden swing with 2 you can think of the stability of the former versus the latter. Any time you use only two anchor points on a pendulum you'd be creating two directions the entire rack can swing. I think for the best safety and stability you'd really want to use 4.

Ceiling stud will hold it with only 2 hooks, but 4 hooks would give it more stability as the rack is pretty good size.

I think the whole thing would swing every time you touched it. What are you hanging it from?

I think you are talking about the four chains coming to the center on two hooks. I think it would work really well. I even considered doing that myself.

There is a bracket to hang unit on the wall. You can use that with some anchors if going into wall board. You may also want to use a 1 X 4 X 16" board and install that between the studs and then hang unit on the board for stability.

Yes it is possible to hang two keys in the same hook. It might not look as neat and orderly but you can do it.

No I wouldnt.it looks better in the picture than when you get it. I have yet to hang mine...my husband had to fix it first.not well made

I would be hesitant about hang anything from a drop ceiling. I would still try to attach to the actual ceiling with a pole or to a beam. Hope this helps.

not very well - you would need to use two stands to hold it still. There is no loop on the long side to hang it with, so you need some sort of small clamp.

no. needs hang from the two bolts. You could drill back and add two more bolts.

The hook doesnt come off, you could mount it to a wall but youd have to get creative. Probably not worth it.

We mounted it on hangers. Mounting on ceiling May need an electrician to do the task. Easier to mont on hangers . Anyway, let us know whether it can be done. So far have not heard anyone doing it.

Yes, it hangs loosely from the ceiling, without anything to secure it to the wall.If you want to secure it, you would have to improvise for yourself.

The 2 hooks on the hanging shelf can cling on any horizontal bar-like object. A curtain hanging bar or even a clothes hanger would allow enough height for it to hang nicely.

I would have to say no. You might be able to hang two or three but that would be it.

I suggest you order some extras. I think it only came with 4 or 6 hooks. I ordered a set of large and small hooks in addition and I used all of them. It truly depends on how much you plan on hanging. I have 16 hooks right now. The rack could home more.

You can hang a bar from one hook and then hang the trapeze from the bar. I doubt it would be as stable as two hooks

Should definitely work, but the two arms may be a bit too close if you want a balanced two-point support, not perfect for single point hang. The previous answer's tip on stud is a good one.

It would really depend upon what you were going to put on the shelf. Its only two fixed shelved are the very top and the very bottom, and to use any sort of bracket effectively would require at least partial removal of the heavy cardboard backing which goes a long way towards the unit's stability (I speak from experience; I have two of these one with and one without the backing." And I would *NOT* trust hanging this with rings and tacks.

I guess if you have some strong hooks screwed into studs. Sounds dangerous. How tall are the ceilings? How big is the room?
