This pot rack has been perfect for our little apartment. We went from living in a house to living in an apartment and the most difficult thing to deal with has been storage space. I looked around at many department stores for pot racks and found similar items for hundreds of dollars. I can't see why they cost so much more and perform the same function. The other bonus to hanging my pots and pans is it is a guaranteed way to keep the tefflon from being scratched. Stacking the pots most certainly will scratch your cookware.
