I am woman! : Old Dutch 60-Inch Cookware Stand, Graphite
I wrestled for a looooong time, trying to decide which pot stand to go with. Did I opt for this Old Dutch and save the money? Or go with the big name, sold in Williams-Sonoma version? The price here on Amazon was better than W-S on the 'expensive' one(Enclume CWS6 6-Tier Cookware Stand), and it is welded and assembled. I didn't question its' quality, just whether I really needed to pay for that quality. Or if the considerably less expensive Old Dutch would serve my purposes just as well. In the end, I decided to give the Old Dutch a try, and I'm very glad I did!
First, the downsides:
Yes, there is assembly involved. 2 of us (just 2 hands might be tough), a few tips from others here (not to follow the instructions on order, and go ahead and connect the top and bottom), a bit of patience, and around 30 minutes. Not too bad. I do agree the worst/hardest part of it is getting the 2 'levels' perfectly level. It's easy for the middle to get a lean to it and throw off both the line and balance. That said, it's also not that hard to correct/prevent if you're aware. A couple of bubble levels and a few extra minutes of care when tightening the 2 levels together, and we now have a perfectly level pot rack. We had no issues whatsoever with the finish scratching, etc, during assembly.
The neutrals:
Yes, the top shelves are smaller than the bottom. It's just the nature of the beast, all pot stands that I've ever seen taper. It also means it's balanced and stable. The top shelves did look awfully small to me, but surprisingly fit what I want/need them to. You can see by my picture in 'customer images' that I have a 6-4/3qt oval oven on the bottom (with tons of room leftover). A 3-1/2qt buffet casserole (approx. 12" diameter) snugly on the 2nd shelf. A 4-1/4qt soup pot snugly on the 3rd shelf. And a Chantal teakettle on the top. I have (since the picture) also added a 3-1/2qt oval oven to the 4th shelf.
Which leads to the positives:
It suits our needs perfectly AND saved a chunk of change doing it. I can't argue with that. Enclume does offer an 8-tier option (Enclume CWS8 8-Tier Cookware Stand), so if you just need an extra shelf or two, perhaps that might work better for you. I've decided that, while I might someday want a few more pieces that would work best on a cookware stand like this (ie. large, awkward, heavy, cast-iron), when that day comes I'll likely just get another one of these - it's still less expensive than the *1* Enclume I was considering to start with!
Also, here are some measurements I've found while researching this one, in case it helps anyone else in making a determination:
The height between shelves:
Between 1 & 2: 5.375-in.
Between 2 &3: 7-in.
Between 3 & 4: 8.25-in.
Between 4 & 5: 9-in.
Between 5 & 6: 13.875-in.
The width of each shelf:
Shelf 1: 7.5-in.
Shelf 2: 8.25-in.
Shelf 3: 9.25-in.
Shelf 4: 10-in.
Shelf 5: 11.25-in.
Shelf 6: 13-in.
