Rev-A-Shelf 2-Tier Kitchen Cupboard Pullout 11.75″ Cupboard Organizer for Pots, Pans, and Lid Cookware, Adjustable Heavy Obligation Wire, Chrome, 5CW2-1222-CR

Excellent product – but requires patience/planning to install w/door mount
This product is excellent if you are tired of squatting under cabinets to dig out pots/pans with all the racket. Although it doesn’t look like much you will certainly feel the ease of getting pans and lids when using it. The benefits are fully utilized when mounting the cabinet door using the optional door mount kit RS5WB.DMKIT however I encountered difficulty in getting a good install with the door mount when using the given installation instructions. I posted my work around below to help anyone reading this as I also installed the RS5WB2.2122.CR double chrome pullout basket which uses the same frame and rails in less than half to time using those steps.There are limitations and considerations to plan for in adavance:- This product will not work with pans larger than 12″ such as woks or those giant Circulon grill pans. You may only be able to fit 1 or 2 large 12″ pans on the ends where the upper shelf bottom is higher.- This product does not work well with square or oddly shaped pot/pans.- Large pans that have a long handle on one end and a short handle on the other may not fit. The problem occurs in that the second handle may hit the back of the cabinet when closed which causes the pan to shift and the large handle to point up and get tangled on the upper shelf.- All existing cabinet shelves must be removed, so if your cabinet has a shelf and spans across two cabinet doors be prepared for how you are going to store items from the neighboring cabinet with the shelf gone. In my case I put RS5WB2.2122.CR double chrome pullout baskets into the neighboring cabinet.- Dome shaped 12″ lids may be a challenge, the back prongs of the upper shelf are angled lower that the front to accomodate larger lids but you may only be a able to fit 1 or 2. Worst case the shelf prongs can be bent slightly but only once or damage can occur. The prongs are not made to be bent repeatedly.- You will be giving up storage space in exchange for the convience. If you have tons of stuff crammed into the cabinet be prepared to relocate the excess. You want to put the pots/pan you use most often on this shelf.- Be wary that children do not hang on the shelves when extended. The frame is fairly strong but it will not hold their added weight.- Take note any possible obstructions such a dishwasher door on the opposite side. The shelves extend a good 2 feet out and the bottom shelf must be fully extended to get large pans in and out from the back row.- Expect possible 2-3 hours to install with door mount. Recommend you carefully drill small holes for any screws going into the cabinets to avoid possible splitting of the wood.- Each shelf can be installed at one of 2 different heights but in almost all cases you’ll want the bottom shelf as low as possible and top shelf as high as possible to fit 12″ pans.Challenge with the door mount:The installation instructions state to first assemble the frame by loosely attaching the shelf rails to the two load bearing U brackets then measure and attach the frame in the cabinet. The problems with this is that without the shelves in the rails and the screws loose it is possible to mount the U brackets to the cabinet floor slightly twisted. The result of which is that the shelves don’t “lock in” correctly when closed and the cabinet door won’t mesh up with the cabinet with a scenario where either the left or right side has a large gap. It tooks more than a hour of fiddling to fix this and I had to loosed all the rails and relocate the rear U bracket and upper rail bracket screws to correct the problem. Per what I encountered I deviated from the install steps as follows when installing the RS5WB2.2122.CR (same frame/rails) afterwards and saved alot of trouble.1. When assembling the the frame don’t forget to leave the rail screws slightly loose per the instructions. Leave the rear bracket off until it is ready to be attached as it will just fall off or get in the way.2. Perform the steps up to attaching the one screw holding the upper rail to the cabinet as per the instructions. Measure carefully!3. Carefully measure, position, and screw in the front U backet. DO NOT screw in rear U bracket yet. It is critical that the front U backet is perfectly vertical and both left/right sides are the exact 1 13/16″ from the cabinet edge as per the instructions AND that the lower rail perfectly straight by making sure it the same distance from the cabinet wall on both the front and back ends. This will ensure the front of the frame does not end up slightly rotated.4. Carefully insert the lower shelf into the frame, note that the assembly can tip since the rear screws aren’t in. Verify that the shelf closes in snugly and evenly on both left/right sides. Since the rail screws are slightly loose doing this will align the rails stright with the U brackets. Make sure the rear U bracket is perfectly vertical.5. Pull out the shelf slightly, tighten the rear rail screws, carefully remove the shelf and tighten the front rail screws.6. Perform the installation of the door mount per the instructions to be sure be that the shelf closes evenly and the left/right sides of the cabinet door mesh evenly. (Don’t forget to remove the double sided tape after marking the screws for the cabinet face or you won’t be able to adjust it…this step is missing from the door mount instructions). A level is needed to ensure the cabinet face is even. Again remember that with the rear U bracket of the frame is not screwed in the entire assembly can tip when the shelf is far enough out.7. Take the door mount off and with the lower shelf in (or all the way if possible) and screw in the rear U bracket. A cordless screw drill helps with this alot as it is hard to reach. Make sure the U bracket is not at an angle and the rails are staight with the front of the cabinet.8. Close the lower shelf and now tighten the upper rair screws and finish the install of the rear bracket per the instructions (again make sure you don’t bend the frame), then finally put the cabinet door mount back on. You may have to do multiple adjustments with 4 screws holding the door mount brackets to get the cabinet door just right.

Great for organizing pots and pans but directions could have been better
I just spent 2 hours installing this organizer for my pots and pans. It would have only taken half that time if the instructions were better. Pictures were terrible — so tiny and did not really describe anything. They also failed to tell you exactly which screws to use where, so you have to figure it out yourself. Luckily all turned out well. I installed it in the center of my 28″ cabinet due to where the hinges on my doors sit. I screwed it down to the cabinet floor and back of cabinet, due to not being able to screw it into the sides of the cabinet. It is still fairly sturdy, and works great. One other thing I did not like was having to take the rails apart in the very first step, as it gets your hands super greasy! I finally put a pair of latex gloves on to finish that part. When installation was complete, it took probably twice that amount of time to fit everything in just right. Those who said it was like playing Tetris weren’t kidding! I wish the top section it was more configurable, because I used it for a larger skillet that did not fit on the bottom and a tiny sauce pan as well as a couple lids. They should let you move the dividers on the top around. All in all, although it was time-consuming it was a fun project.

Makes my cabinet more functional!
Added to our wedding registry & purchased after. Fits almost all my pots & pans & lids (not enough room for my biggest pot) but makes it so much easier to organize my pots & pans. Instructions on assembling were a little confusing but figured it out. Drill is recommended when assembling too. Has the option of different heights depending on your cabinet size which I like. Would buy another one to organize another cabinet!

Excelente para organizar las cacerolas y tapaderas. Valió la pena el gasto. Lo recomiendo ampliamente. De fácil instalación.

I’m litteraly in love with this rack! Took an hour and a half to install, my husband took his sweet time to make sure everything would align perfectly, and it turned out great. The tracks are very quiet and my brand new cookware set fits in it! Lids included! No more stacking, clanging, banging and everything is within reach!!!
