Rev-A-Shelf Kitchen Cabinet Pullout Organizer, Min Open Width of 20.5"

We've all had those pot and pan organizers that can't bear the weight of your pots and pans or they do little to no organizing. But this thing is an absolute beast! Several anchoring points, holds all your pots and pans with ease! Easy to assemble, operates smoother than silk. Easy to install, easy to adjust. Cons: Price! Holy heck is this thing pricy but if you can comfortably afford it, it is the ONLY pot and pan organizer you'll ever need! Take note, this thing is BIG. Measure, measure, measure! Its easy to adjust, but I wouldnt say there is enough areas to place the single organizers. My only other con is i have my pans on the lower part of this and someone if them have longer handles which led to the handles not sitting in the rack comfortably but occasionally banging on the cabinet while pulling it out and putting it back in. A few quick adjustments with some other pots and pans and that problem cleared right up.

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.

Over the past several months, I have purchased quite a few Rev-A-Shelf products to get my cabinets organized. They have all been quality products. They are sturdy, hold as much or as little as you want to put on them. I've loaded a few (including this one) with a LOT of stuff and they still slide out easily. Several of the rev-a-shelf units I bought had one or two pull out wire racks that I used to place things on laying flat. This one was different. The bottom has adjustable slots to hold pots and pans laying on their side. The top part is perfect for all the lids. I was able to load 2 large pasta pots, 2 medium size pots, 2 small pots, 2 large frying pans and 2 small frying pans - basically my entire set. The lids all fit neatly on the top slide out plus I have a few extra slots available for extra lids. The smallest sauce pan size pots are a little small for the unit but we managed to arrange them so they do not fall out. Everything else fits perfectly. Our recommendation is to put some of your bigger lids in the top shelf BEFORE you install the unit and see how high up you should put the shelf. The higher the better because that allows the bottom shelf to hold bigger pots or longer handled frying pans without getting in the way of the top slide out. We didn't do that and had to take the top shelf out and move it up a notch. It wasn't a big deal but it would have saved us time if we had done that first. We did not get the door attachment for this one because we had double doors and it seems like the door might be in the way a little for getting the middle pots and pans out of the bottom. We have purchased rev-a-shelf slide outs with the door attachments for 2 of our end cabinets and LOVE that feature. My entire cabinet is now usable. I can just slide out the shelves and reach what I want easily without sitting on the floor, pulling everything out, unstacking pots, etc. I used the pictures posted on the web to help me set up the dividers and determine the best way to load the unit. I would highly recommend this and other rev-a-shelf products to anyone looking to organize and make use of the full cabinet space.

Holds pans as advertised. Slides on ball bearings that came well greased . The bearings are not sealed , so will need periodic grease . 4 stars instead of five as my example arrived with a bent track, which prevented proper operation . But I hammered it back into position, and it operates correctly now .

Bought it for our new hex clad and it’s perfect. Soft roll in and out of the cabinet. Easy to install. It’s great!

Just installed and love it! ***IF IN THE LONG RUN PRODUCT QUALITY SLIPS OR PRODUCT FAILS IN ANYWAY I WILL EDIT THE REVIEW AND ADJUST THE RATING*** The instructions leave little to be desired but with them and a little logic you can figure out the steps to install properly. The quality of the material seems to be of high quality for being made in China. It definitely fits the price you pay. It took us a while to figure out the best configuration for our pots, pans and lids. I will post pictures so others can have ideas for their own configuration. We tried what others do and to have all the pts and pans on their sides, but with our two larger Le Creuset pieces (braiser and fry pan) they were making it difficult to fit on their sides with the two large pots we have as well to be on their side. We settled with what is pictured and it’s still a huge improvement for us as we no longer have to move a stack of pans or pots to reach the heavier Le Creuset pieces from the back of the cabinet which required us to get on our knees to lean into the cabinet. We also had to bend way over or get on our knees to grab lids which were on a shelf towards the back of the cabinet. It’s much better now that we can slide everything out for easier reach without getting on our knees.

I installed this in an 18" base cabinet. I have high quality 5-ply stainless steel pans including a 12" sauté pan, heavy aluminum non-stick skillets, including a 12", and cast iron pans, including a 12". They all weigh a ton, especially the 12" cast iron. There's also an 11" carbon steel wok, which doesn't weigh a lot, but takes up a lot of space. My old storage scheme was to stack them all in the cabinet, aiming to keep the most used on top of the stack, but even with that I had to bend over uncomfortably and reach in to get the pan and if I needed one towards the bottom, I had to take all the other pans out to get the one I wanted and replace the rest. This unit certainly uses quality parts and fabrication, it's not cheap junk, I have no problems with that. Install was not difficult, but if you don't know enough to drill pilot holes for the screws (the instructions make no mention of this) you're going to have a very unpleasant time screwing the screws into the cabinet, and you'll probably strip the heads to boot. But...with the top rack at its highest location, which barely allows all my big pans to fit on the bottom rack (and still with some rubbing), I can only fit the two saucepan lids I have on the top rack. All of my larger lids are still relegated to leaning vertically in the cabinet in the 5" or so of space along the side of the rack. It has improved access for me to different pans, but it's not what I hoped, and the vertical separators that snap on the rack slide easily so they are worthless for the heavier pans, they just slide horizontally and the pans fall over. It hasn't improved my use of storage space, but has made it marginally easier to get to my cookware. I'm not sure it's worth the price. If you have nothing but smaller, cheap, light pots and pans, this is probably a good solution, but if you have serious cookware, I'd look for something else.

I ordered this to have my pots and pans more organized and to reduce the scratches they get from stacking. I have it installed and absolutely love it. To me the directions could do a little better job explaining how to assemble the unit. You first put the bottom sliders on the u-shaped bracket. I had to re-do this because I didn't pull the sliders out and attach them towards the front of the sliders. I installed this in a cabinet that was just wide enough to fit the unit. In hind site I should have take the doors off to make the installation easier. I could not attach the unit to the front frame of the cabinet because I have double doors and had to push the shelf tot he back of the cabinet. But that's ok because the top shelf has a bracket that can be secured tot he back of the cabinet. After securing the unit tot he bottom of the cabinet, I screwed in one of the top brackets to the back of the cabinet. I would suggest to put the top rack in, mark the holes to where they need to be screwed in, then remove the top rack and install the screws. Also note, the top rack has three positions that you can use. I installed the rack on the highest position and it barely fits a large lid. You can play with the positioning of the lids to make it fit your needs. When the unit was finally installed, I was able to put 6 pots (1 to 4 qt) in the front and 7 skillets in the back. It appears this is pretty heavy duty. I have stainless steel pots and pans and one cast iron skillet. The lids are a combo of glass and stainless steel. I will use this for a while to see how it holds up and if it does well then I will buy other cabinet organizers.

Really like the product. Really holds a lot pans and pots and lids as well. Really straight forward to install. Very good instructions. Love the adjustable holders for bottom shelf. Very sturdy product

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