I have cast iron cookware, is there a weight limit listed? Also, are you able to use the shelf for storage also?

I dont have cast iron pots so I dont know for sure, but I saw someone elses review that said it supported theirs fine.All the lids fit great on top and ive still got about half the shelf free

I have cast iron cookware as well. I mounted my rack to wall studs, and it securely holds 3 large cast iron skillets and a full set of pots and pans. This is a thin rack, so the shelf storage is minimal. Cook books and larger pots don't sit flush on the shelf, but I let them stick out a bit. The thinner size works for my kitchen space.

Don't remember there being a weight limit. it is very sturdy and I think would have no problem holding cast iron cookware. oh yes the top shelf can be used for storage I have pots and lids and a plant on mine. I LOVE my rack. I kid you not everytime someone comes into my kitchen the comment on it and how nice it is and ask where to get one.

I don't think there is a weight limit. This is a rugged hanger especially when anchored the correct way. The shelf can be used for storage.....I use it for my lids.

Don't know what the weight limit is. If you use good lag screws to bolt it directly to studs in your wall it should hold a lot. The top does function as a shelh. I put the pot lids up on top.

We also have nothing but cast iron on this rack. As long as it is secured to studs is has been just fine for us.We do use the top for storage of our cook books. Works great, we are actually thinking of purchasing an additional rack.

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.

I am not sure of the weight limit of the shelves but I would not put too much weight on it. I am putting small lightweight items on it. I wouldn't put anything too precious on it because if it gets bumped it will knock it over as it must be situated where it leans perfectly against the wall.

Yes, it is sturdy enough to hold cast iron pans. I has truly lived up to my standards.Sandra

I have my set of cast iron (#4 - #12) set hanging from mine, which weighs about 40 lbs. With a few miscellaneous pieces on top. As long as you drill into studs and it's a sturdy setup you should be fine.

These shelves are very sturdy and well made. I would think that if you have the oven on a wood bureau, these shelves could withstand the small amount of heat that you are suggesting. However, you may want to contact the manufacturer, just to be sure.

I can't give you a precise answer as to how much weight each shelf can support, however I can tell you that we use our cabinet to store household appliances, such as, a kitchenaid food processor, crock pot (lrg), etc. I wouldn't feel comfortable putting more than 30 lbs per shelf.

Cutting board would be fine. I don't have a cast iron pan, so really can't say for sure. You would need to balance what you place in it. This would mean spreading the weight evenly, not placing all heavy items on one side. Hope this helps.

I have three cast iron skillets (an 8"10" and 15") and they shelf has no trouble supporting it. I am not sure how much they each weigh but I'd guess at least 30 pounds. The aluminum brackets are very sturdy and the shelves themselves are very sturdy as well.

I made sure that I have one of the screws into a stud. With that I have a whole Revere pot set hanging on it and some utensils. I would guess I have about 30 lbs on it. I have not been brave enough to hang my cast iron on it - that still sits in the cupboard.

800 lbs per shelf is the spec, although I definitely have more than that on a few shelves, and it's not been a problem. Some of the other products from Alera are spec'ed to 1000+ lbs.

I currently have at least 5 lbs of cook books on it. And 2 cast iron tea pots on the other. I think it could hold that!

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 know the exact weight limits on the bar or per hook, but I can tell you that I used mine for a regular set of pots plus 2-3 cast iron skillets. Just make sure you screw into studs and put the heaviest pots closer to the screws rather than the middle of the bar. If studs are hard to find or not spaced properly, you can mount a 2x4 on the wall and get that screwed into studs and then mount the bar to that. Not the prettiest solution but you could paint the wood black to mask it.

I think the manufacturer recommends no more than 20 or 25 pounds per shelf. I've had it for a year as a bookshelf with around 30 pounds per shelf and haven't seen any problems.

I believe the shelves are rated at something like 100lbs each. I don't have nearly that much on it but I do have a lot and it is very very sturdy. Doesn't bend under the weight of a kitchenaid mixer and my rice cooker.

Weight capacity on casters is total of 900 pounds or 150 pounds per shelf. LOVE this unit!
