How is installation? Does it have to be mounted onto studs?

The installation is quite simple but the weight with pots would require a substantial base. I have mine mounted on a pine beam.

I suppose that would depend how much weight you want to put on it. Mounting it to studs is highly recommended over asking the drywall alone to hold the weight of your pots and pans. The way this is put together makes it easy to adjust the bracket spacing to accommodate your studs at least, which worked out well for us since our house is 70 years old and the studs weren't at standard spacing.

Easy assembly. I would recommend anchors or studs due to the weight this is intended to hold. We sanded and stained it prior to assembly to match the cabs.. fantastic addition to the kitchen. No complaints about the product

Installation wasn't bad. The biggest concern is to get it level which can be hard to do if your mounting it high up on the wall. It's sturdy plus if it's going to hold a lot of weight, it really needs to be mounted on studs. I've only had it a couple of weeks and I really like it. I hang cast iron pans on it plus regular pots. Also, I bought four extra hangers for additional pots/pans since the kit only came with six.

It is a great rack, lots of space for pots. It is not so tough to install but it does need to be well anchored, so putting onto studs is important

I mounted mine to the studs. There's a fair bit of weight when loaded up with pots/pans. Each bracket has two holes for screws. The bottom one is straight in (90 degrees), the top one is angled down a bit. I'd imagine it would be hard to get a good anchor for the top angled hole. I had to drill an angled pilot hole into the stud. The included screws are OK but not great.

I mounted on studs and have not had any problems. I imagine the weight of the pots and pans would be to much to not mount on studs.

We had to mount ours Into only one stuf because our house is so old. It doesn't seem to be an issue, I suggest at least one stud though. My husband put it up in about a Half hour

I installed it to a stud in the wall,. The screws that came with it are really long. It works just fine for me. Hopefully that helps!

It would probably be best if you did mount it on the stud. It's pretty heavy all by itself, and we have heavy components on it, so that's what we did. If you don't I'd suggest anchors for sure.

Not at all. The kit had everything I needed to install. As long as you have easy access to two studs, you should be fine. Very happy with product. Good Luck!

This can be mounted without studs but it definitely needs anchors. Toggle bolts are what I used and it is working great! It comes with plastics anchors but after reading some reviews, I went out and bought toggle bolts.

Hi. I gave this to a friend of mine last Christmas and he went to Lowes and bought wall anchors and stainless screws to mount the unit, as where he wanted it placed did not have wall studs located where needed. He says they worked great.

Like all mounts, it's only as good as what you mount it too--you need to locate the studs in the wall. (Usually every 16 inches on center) you mount the bolts to that.

It comes with brackets so it can be mounted directly onto the wall surface which is how i installed mine.

It can be installed on wood studs. It comes with the necessary hardware for both.

I have mine mounted to a finished ceiling. When installing you will just need a stud finder to make sure you line up the bracket with a ceiling joist.

It was a pretty straight forward install. You will need a stud finder, ruler, measure tape, sheet rock saw / cutter and drill driver to affix inner bolts to studs. If this is beyond your ability then i would source a handyman to perform install.

Not exactly clear on what your asking?? Are you mounting to a wall with studs behind the drywall?

I havent received mine yet but I can tell you that this absolutely requires studs. You want to know that it is mounted securely especially if you put weight on the shelves such as cable boxes, dvd player, dvds, and anything else.

You could mount to drywall, but I would use toggle bolts instead of anchors. If you will be hanging something fairly heavy, like a ladder, and putting it up and down fairly often, then you should definitely screw into studs. I have three mounted to studs and they work fine.

It is fairly heavy, should have an exact number in the the shipping information. There is no way I would mount this without going into a stud, NO. It is mirrored in the back, so no screws through the back

It would be very heavy to mount on a wall. You would need to be sure you have a stud to mount into.

We attached it with four screws directly into the wall. There are two holes on each vertical support. In order for us to center it, we didn't screw into studs, but it's not heavy, and we don't put heavy things on it.
