Will this hold a heavy cast iron 6 quart Dutch oven without bending the top shelf?

I won't swear to it but i really think it is strong enough it's made very well hope that helps it's not flimsy at all pretty sturdy I am not sure if it's an oval oven it may not be long enough but a round one just might work well hope it helps

I'm not sure how much your Dutch oven weighs, so I can't give a definitive answer. My shelf this size has over 4 lbs on it with no problem. The wider version has more than 7 lbs on one side (less on the other) and you can see that the shelf is sagging slightly (less than 1/8") in the center, but it is still solid and in no danger of breaking or collapsing.

Supposedly it is made to hold canned goods as per the item description. I use it to go up a level with Corelle dishes (which are feather-weight compared to your dutch oven). It seems very sturdy to me, but I do not know how much one of those things weighs.

If you anchor it appropriately, absolutely. Mine has been holding the following for over a year without the any trouble (note: all steel is tri-ply, they are heavy pans): 8" and 12" cast iron skillets; 12" cast iron grill pan; 8" aluminum, fry pan; 8" & 10" steel fry pans; 3 qt steel saute; 1.5 qt steel saucepan; 3 , 6 & 16 qt steel stock pots, a griddle, steel steamer basket, aluminum steamer basket, a set of strainers/spatter screens, a 4lb bamboo cutting block, extra inserts from my 10 cup rice maker, an iron cookbook holder and a small roaster pan. My conservative guess would be that there's about 50lbs of stuff on it. It's hanging off heavy steel eye bolts that were piloted/drilled directly into a ceiling stud.

This shelf will serve you well. I have six heavy ceramic 10.5 in plates on the top shelf as well as a ceramic serving platter.On the second shelf I have two sets of four i.e. eight, 8.5 inch plates. There is not even a slight bend of the shelf.

I haven't weighed the pots & pans I have hanging on this, but for about 6 months now it has successfully supported 2 cast iron skillets, 3 stainless steel skillets, 4 handled pots of varying sizes and 4 glass lids. I would just recommend making sure it's well anchored in the wall.

I wouldn't, say it bends but it does fold and you can use it without the shelf if you so choose. I am happy with my purchase.

In my experience it will hold the weight if mounted properly. I currently have a stainless set, one large cast iron pan, and several heavy text books on mine to test its durability. It's been almost a year and no issue! If you've got it mounted to studs, I think you're smooth sailing.

Yes. I use mine to hold my baking sheets and a fairly heavy grill pan. I also use another one to hold my heavy metal-rimmed glass sauce and frying pan lids.

I have heavy stainless pans and it's fine (I screwed it to the floor of the cupboard). Works very well for fry pans but not enough space between shelves for sauce pans unless they're pretty small.

I have a small convection oven on the higher of the two lower shelves. It weighs about 20-25lbs. The whole thing is much sturdier than I expected. Not sure if I would store, say, multiple 50lbs bags of flour on it...but it's strong. After almost 10 months with it, I still LOVE it.

I have 5 frying pans plus 5 pots of varying sizes hanging from it in addition to 2 stoneware baking pans on top. No cast iron, thought. As long as it is properly anchored it should hold up fine to cast iron.

You will probably only be able to use the bottom two shelves. My husband assembled mine and it's a little wobbly and I would definitely not put cast iron pots on it. My pots in fact are lightweight and just right for the piece. I wouldn't suggest cast iron even if you assembled it the right way. I don't think it's sturdy enough.

It should (I just checked mine out by leaning on it). But you wouldn't be able to roll it around very well with that weight on it. Keep in mind that it already has a heavy granite countertop.

Yes, it has been sturdy enough for my stainless steel pots and pans without any problems. You will want side support for frying pans. Usually I'll prop a plate up, then the frying pan next to it. It is a good little rack.

I think it is sturdy and stable enough to hold a nice, heavy dutch oven (especially if you place it on one of the lower shelves to increase stability). My plant is on the top shelf, and there is absolutely no wobble.

It should hold cast iron cookware. But, I would not overload it. It is smaller then I would of liked for a grill.

It should be okay. I use it in the kitchen to hold a lot of different cooking sauces and oils which are quite heavy.

It holds mine just fine, without knowing how big of a dutch oven you have I would say your find
