Is this sturdy enough for cast iron?

I have my racks screwed into a pine ceiling and one rack has five cast iron skillets of different sizes hanging from it. I just read the other answers and thankfully I didn't read them first. As along with the five cast iron skillets, I have a total of 14 skillets and pans consisting of the cast iron, All-clad and Swiss Diamond. I have four of these racks with a bunch of pots, pans and skillets. Obivously I brought additional swivel hooks!! I am not allowed to buy anymore to support my bad habit.

Well, it depends. You can install it into studs (which is recommended), but it really isn't built for that and I would not recommend it. Structurally it would tolerate maybe 30 pounds for a fair amount of time (an extremely non-educated guess), but it's just NOT intended for this use. If I were doing cast iron, I would use individual, stylish chains with hooks suspended so that each item ended up fairly parallel at the bottom with the others and spaced nice and proportionately. Hope this helps.

Probably not. I have a large cast iron skillet and I wouldn't try hanging it on the pot rack. Anything aluminum is ok.

We have it installed in our winery kitchen. Lots of heavy cookware, no cast iron. It is attached to ceiling joist.

I would ask the manufacturer that question, they are sturdy but iron skillets are heavy. Good luck.

It is certainly sturdy, and will easily withstand the weight of large pots. Though powder-coated, I'm not certain about sustaining rough weather. Love the product however. Very pleased.

Yes it is sturdy enough. I have used it several times. I am very pleased with it.

Yes it's sturdy. And mine wasn't broken and was well packaged. I have used my several times.

Very well! This thing is very sturdy, we cooked on it directly, as well as with 2 cast iron skillets, and lightweight camp cookware.

It should be sturdy enough to hold a large ironing board, just make sure you anchor it well into the wall (on a stud). It will also hold a large iron, I have a Rowenta and it holds it just fine.

It's great, I have an iron skillet and my other heavy pots on it and a food processor and it's fine. The whole thing is very sturdy.

Yes, its plenty sturdy. We use it for extra seating at parties. Works well.

It is definitely sturdy enough. I am not sure about the finish being food grade/safe.I use mine to top a rolling toolbox for a work surface in the shop.As far as visually, it would look great in a kitchen.

Absolutely! I love my pan. It doesn't begin to have the weight of cast iron. I do, however, even though I have seasoned the pan... use Pam before making crepes. I just wish it was larger.

I don't see why it wouldn't, if it's properly installed/anchored. I've got power and hand tools that outweigh the cast iron cookware hanging from mine.

As long as the board is anchored to wall studs, you will be fine. We have 5 cast iron pans on ours and it has held perfectly.

Yes, it is sturdy enough. However, I would be concerned about putting any electrical heating appliance such as a toaster oven on a wood surface. Toaster ovens can overheat.

Yes it is. Although I lay my rack on its side because it is too tall for my shelf. It will hold my cast iron on its side and also when I put the shelf upright too.

You will probably only be able to use the bottom two shelves. My husband assembled mine and it's a little wobbly and I would definitely not put cast iron pots on it. My pots in fact are lightweight and just right for the piece. I wouldn't suggest cast iron even if you assembled it the right way. I don't think it's sturdy enough.

I don't think so. It seems a lot more heavy-duty (and heavy) than aluminum. Possibly cast-iron? We've had, and used, ours for a few years and it is very sturdy. Highly recommend.
