Lodge Cookware Storage Tower 6-Tier Storage Rack, Matte Black

I bought this rack to better organize my heavier cookware, especially cast iron pieces and larger stock pots, and overall I’m very happy with it. I cook a lot and own more cookware than the average kitchen, but everything gets used regularly, so accessibility and practical storage matter more to me than display. This rack has definitely improved the organization and workflow in my kitchen. I currently use it in the wire shelving area of my butler’s pantry, where I store cookware and small appliances. Before this, a lot of my pots were stacked on shelves, which wasted space and made things harder to access. This rack freed up a noticeable amount of shelf space and stores heavier cookware much more securely and conveniently. The rack itself is quite sturdy once assembled. Mine is holding well over 30 pounds of cookware including a 15" cast iron skillet, a 7 qt Dutch oven, another 5 qt cast iron Dutch oven, plus several enameled stock pots ranging from 3–12 quarts. Even fully loaded, it feels stable and doesn’t wobble. The biggest downside is assembly. Putting it together by myself took the better part of an hour, mostly because getting the shelves balanced while attaching the legs took some trial and error. The included hardware was also disappointing — several of the cap nuts stripped during assembly. Luckily I have a fairly stocked workshop and was able to replace them, but not everyone will have spare hardware available. One thing buyers should know is that each shelf has a slightly different diameter and spacing, so cookware placement takes a little planning. Multiple items over 10–12 inches can be challenging depending on which shelf you’re using, while cookware under 10 inches generally fits fine. Height can also become a limitation with larger pots; my 12 qt stock pot is about the maximum practical size. Despite those issues, I would absolutely buy it again. The rack is sturdy, functional, and genuinely useful if you actively cook and need a better way to organize heavier cookware, Dutch ovens, or cast iron skillets. It also looks nice enough that it could work as a display piece tucked into a kitchen corner.

This Lodge Cookware Storage Tower is exactly what I needed for my new cookware. I wanted something sturdy that would look nice in my kitchen. After reading all the reviews and several people saying how difficult the assembly was, I was on the fence as to whether to purchase this tower. I’m so glad that I did!! It arrived on time and I found the directions to be straightforward. Before I started I always check to make sure all the pieces were there, but the bag of hardware had missing screws. I immediately thought that this was a bad sign so I decided to return it and reorder another one. When I went to start the return process, I was very surprised that I was given a return less refund. I immediately reordered the tower hoping that all the hardware would be in the next order and it was. I’m not sure why the reviews stated that it was so difficult to assemble and that you needed 2-3 people but I found it to be just the opposite. I didn’t follow the instructions exactly because I thought it would be easier to build it from the bottom up instead of building the top section first and the bottom section last and then trying to pick up the top section to insert it into the bottom section. I built the bottom section first with the 3 shelves, then I inserted the top legs into the bottom legs and then proceeded to install the last 3 shelves. I assembled it by myself and it took me approximately 30 minutes from start to finish by doing it my way!! 😂😂 FYI…I went to my local home improvement store and was able to purchase the screws that were missing from the first order that Amazon so graciously gave me a return less refund. Even though there were missing screws from the first order, I feel that this review deserves 5 stars ⭐️ due to the tower itself being so amazing and beautiful but the awesome customer service provided by Amazon!! I would definitely recommend this Lodge Cookware Storage Tower!!

This looks amazing! Strong quality, perfect height to fit many cast iron cookware items. Super stable.

I purchased the Lodge 6-Tier Kitchen and Pantry Cast Iron Cookware Storage Organizing Tower, and it has been an absolute game changer for my kitchen storage. Yes, assembly can be a bit tricky, but the effort is well worth it. Once assembled, the tower is incredibly stable and robust, no issues whatsoever. This tower is a powerhouse in terms of storage. At any given time, it holds at least 30 of my cast iron, stainless steel, and enamel pots and pans with ease. I also bought some S hooks, which allowed me to maximize the space by hanging additional items off the sides. This added functionality makes the storage tower even more versatile. A small tip for fellow cast iron enthusiasts: place a towel between your pots and pans to prevent metal-on-metal contact. This will help maintain your cookware in top condition. One crucial piece of advice for anyone purchasing this unit: make sure to double-check that you have all the correct pieces before starting assembly. It will save you a lot of time and prevent any unnecessary headaches. I love this storage tower so much that I would buy another one if I had the space for it! If you're looking for a solid, reliable solution to organize a large collection of cookware, this is definitely the product for you.

It has no directions. None. I hired a fellow who’d assembled items for me before and that was the 1st thing he asked for. There’s a drawing, I labeled each level, he did the rest. It’s sturdy, holds pots pans that previously had no home, but assembly is a two-person job. Be prepared for that, have a friend or two help.

Wife loved it, easy build, very sturdy, functional yet nice to look at.

To say I love it is an understatement. It is gorgeous and really shows off your cast iron collections. What I did not love was how Amazon treated the package, the package came so beat up it was falling apart. Also, building it is not as easy as it seems... it took me about 3 hours to assemble because I had to take brain breaks only to realize the legs need to be facing a certain way or else it will not line up. Be careful when assembling it too because you're not supposed to over tighten the screws so its really wobbly. Mine fell over before I tightened. This probably was a two person job but I dont have another person to help so just be ready to work on balance while tightening. It is very sturdy the quality is great on this rack.

It would get 5 stars but the assembly (which i did 3 times) was horrible. BUT a review on here saved me. To put this together you need to do the bottom first! Make sure all legs are facing OUT (i didnt that was my first mistake). Tighten everything after all the bottoms shelves are attached. Then put the top legs in, FACING OUT. I screwed them in so they wouldnt move. Then I did the shelves up. I then went through and tightened the tops once all was attached. Boom sturdy. Someone else had that in their review and honestly thats the only real way to assemble this thing

Very happy with this sturdy 6-tier beauty. Way to go Lodge!

Great quality! Very stable, easy to mount and very very practical!

It was broken. Was returned.

This is my 3rd pot rack. The first was the hopeless old dutch that can only fit 2 of my smallest pot despite having 6 levels. The second was a cheap China made 5 tier rack which is surprisingly decent, if it can improve on the design to make it more stable n less wobbly. Certainly I had nightmares of it collapsing together with my Staub cast iron pots. I suppose if you would had lightweight stainless steel pots, then it will not be an issue. Finally coming to this Lodge tower. I have this to say, BUY IT, now! It is far cheaper than Enclumes yet super strong and stable. I am gonna get another one soon. My only gripe is the paintwork can be a little patchy. Perhaps Lodge might consider making one from stainless steel. Yes, it's gonna cost more than this one but I will definitely be lining up for one. Or two!

Las turcas son frágiles en general es un producto mediocre como si fuera mano factura china no es la calidad que nos tiene acostumbrados lodge
