Kitchen Aid Cookware: Enclume PR18-60-HS Premier 60-Inch Ceiling Bar, Hammered Steel Review

Simple, well-made (it's an iron bar!), and arrives with all the pieces you will need to hang it.It's simplicity means that it "disappears" with all the pots hanging on it, and the bits you do notice are attractive.It's an iron bar so its sturdiness is not an issue.The hardware is good but the eye-bolts do not have the same darkened, hammered finish as the bar which sort of annoys, but again, it is so simple that it does not distract or disturb.Overall, it's one of the least expensive options out there at $160 (also comes in 36", 48", and 72" lengths).One advantage is that the bar can be wall-mounted if you change your kitchen.The included hangars are 14" long so bottom of bar hangs c. 16" from ceiling.Bought 10" hangers to bring bar closer to ceiling.

For the ceiling mount they drilled the holes for the hangers at 32" to mate with standard spacing (16" on center), but I had to use the toggles included since the ceiling joists were not located right to center the bar where we wanted to hang it.Used the toggles which were included and are claimed to provide more than adequate support for a fully loaded rack.I tend to overbuild so reinforced toggles with some 6" square pieces of 1/2" scrap lumber to distribute the weight more evenly on the sheetrock.On the 60" bar we have filled the bar with 6 skillets (including 3 cast-iron pans), a saucier, and 6 saucepans.
