Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon 24-Inch Half Round Wall Rack
Customer Review: Good product but beware of the instructions
Summary: 3 Stars
I just installed one of these for someone else. I do like the material (black anodized aluminum about 1/4" thick and 2" wide), the solid feel, and in general the way it's designed and built.
Some previous reviewers complained that the mounting holes didn't seem to be 16" apart to fit the studs. Actually they are, if you don't try to center the rack between studs. If you mount either the left corner or the right corner on a stud, there's another set of holes exactly 16" away that should line up with the next stud.
Beware of the installation instructions, though!
-- The instructions said I'd need a 7/16" wrench for the nuts but the nuts themselves turned out to be 10 mm. (I opted for a socket on a 1/4" drive ratchet wrench because there sometimes wasn't much room between obstacles to turn a wrench.)
-- The instructions said there were 8 carriage bolts included, all the same length. Actually there were 6 shorter and 2 longer. The longer ones go in the middle where they join three thicknesses of metal.
-- Step 2 of the instructions describes how to join the long flat bar to the curved bar. If you follow the instructions exactly, there's a 50% chance that when you get to Step 7 nothing will fit into place until you go back to Step 2, take the flat bar off again, and turn it end for end.
I strongly recommend turning all the screws only hand tight at first and ignoring the step that says to attach the rack to the wall. Instead, assemble the rest of the pieces and make sure they really do fit. Once they do, you're in luck; take the last couple of pieces off again (necessary for access), tighten the rest of the screws, attach the rack to the wall, and finish assembling it.
Description of Calphalon 24-Inch Half Round Wall Rack
A good choice for those with smaller kitchens and no island, this wall-mounted rack still affords you the opportunity to free up some cabinet space and keep your cookware handy at the same time.Is your Calphalon collection getting out of control? Does finding the right pot mean triggering an avalanche of gourmet cookware when you open a cabinet door? Time to unclutter. Made out of the same heavy-gauge aluminum as Calphalon's hard-anodized cookware, this gracefully curved wall-mounted rack puts your pots and pans on display, keeps them within quick reach, and frees up cabinet space, all at the same time. (Also, the pans don't rub or scrape against one another, which minimizes damage to your valuable investment.) A wall-mounted rack is the best choice for low-ceilinged kitchens, and as an added bonus, it doesn't block overhead light. Calphalon's patented pot rack hooks can support up to 60 pounds each. They slide freely up and down the rack but won't come off when you reach for a pan. The rack itself is easy to assemble with simple household tools, but Calphalon recommends professional installation. Maybe that's why this kit does not include mounting hardware. --Mary Park
