Is it possible to mount this shelf on the dry wall and still hang several pots?

That's really not possible. The weight will pull any toggles right out of the wall and take a big chunk on drywall with them. Your best best if you can't get into the studs is to mount a piece of 3/4" cabinet grade plywood or another very strong backing material to the wall studs and then mount the shelf to the plywood. We did that and then painted the backing the same color as the wall and you really can't even see it. Keep the size of the plywood limited to a minimum. We cut ours the height of the shelf unit (with brackets) and then the width to the width necessary to secure to the studs. Mine is loaded with hanging pots and then other items on the shelf.

Be careful with it! Mine is in dry wall, but it's pretty heavy duty dry wall. Try to find studs in the waall if possilbe

Yes, you can, but make sure that you buy the support brackets that hold the shelf up as these are not included with the shelf.

Yes you could but the shelves wouldn't be spaced evenly. They make a three shelf version of this if that helps.

I don't think so. I have two and they stand on the countertop. I don't think it would be easy to alter for hanging on the wall. Interesting idea though. I'd be interested if someone figures it out.

Yes the shelf can be mounted at ether end of the cabinet. This will allow you to mount it the way you want.

No. You can use drywall anchors. However the anchors that come with the rack are too light. I went to the hardware store and bought 100 lb anchors. It has been holding tight even though it is full and I have stuff on the top shelf.

I don't think that would be a problem. I have a large pot on the top shelf and smaller pots on the other ones. This thing is pretty sturdy.

The instructions say not to, but The shelf is really sturdy once hung up, so I think it would be okay. We wanted it wall mounted, so didn't try.

this would depend on your walls, I used the wall anchors provided to secure it better. Due to length size, I could only find 1 stud on my wall in my apartment, so I had no choice. The rack itself is also quite sturdy and heavy in weight, plus the added weight of the pots I would recommend using the anchors.

I don't know how much weight it will hold exactly--on that I would check with the manufacturer if possible. It will really depend on how you mount it, as others have mentioned. If you mount it in joists, it will be a great deal more sturdy. We have lots of pots and pans hanging from ours, as well as a few big pots on the shelf part, and some light baskets and lids. So far, so good! Hope this helps! :-)

Yes find a stud it's to heavy for just sheet rock dry wall only.... It's a good product make sure all screws are tight to make shelves stable and not wobbly.(this is a must) I have 4 (3 tier) one holds play station, DVD player, wii, cable box, works well for my family

I don't believe that you could mount it directly to a wall. We've had 2 units for about 2 years and they work very well in a cabinet, but the frames aren't terribly strong. You could buy a shelf with support brackets, mount that to the wall and then put the spice racks on the open shelf.

That depends... there aren't any holes for screws, so it isn't designed to be hung. However, there is a small wood board on the back, that you could drill holes into and attach it to the wall that way. The shelf is heavy, so you would need really strong mounting screws or extra support in the hardware you use (or screw into a stud). So, bottom line is it probably could be hung on the wall - but it isn't designed to be.

I highly doubt it. It's a pretty lightweight unit and doesn't come with supplies to hang this. I would think it wouldn't hold its form if it was attached to the wall as these shelves hold light loads and I think it depends on the ground to keep its form in the first place.

Hello, I don't think you can mount it on dry wall. There are 2-3 holes in the horizontal bar, plus two in the vertical one. I mounted it on a solid wall and it required screw anchors (wall plugs) as well as screws, of course. Please note that these are not included.

Anything is possible... Someone already suggested cutting 3" off both ends and then drilling 2 new holes to add the hanging end pieces. This should allow the proper balance overall... It is not a rack meant to hold a bunch of pots or heavy items. I still think that it is one of our best purchases to save space etc..We did not use the hanging chains only screw in hooks, because we are a house of tall folks!

You can use the screw/hooks into a stud, these come with the rack. If installing to dry wall you will need toggle bolts not supplied.
