AmazonBasics kitchen storage baker's rack

Super sturdy for heavy item storage

This baker's rack can support up to 270 pounds of kitchen extras that need their own spot. The chrome shelving is extra sturdy, and there are hooks to hang utensils, towels, or small pans.  

Pros:

  • Removeable wooden counter
  • Shelving and hooks
  • Chrome coated to prevent rusting

Cons:

  • No coaters

It weighs 32 pounds and is 63.4-inches tall, 36-inches wide, and 14-inches deep. It comes with four shelves with the top shelf featureing a small lip to keep objects from falling to the floor. There is a wooden counter top that fits on top of any of the shelves, or you can remove it and not use it at all. The feet have rubber nubs on them to help keep your floor from being scratched, but without coasters it is harder to move this baker's rack into the position you want. The feet are hollow, so you can purchas coasters seperately and attach them if you'd like.

Mr IRONSTONE vintage kitchen baker's rack

Wire basket drawer is ideal for fruit

Line up your sugar and spices on the small top shelf so they're within reach for cooking. The main shelf is perfect for a toaster or cutting boards, freeing up your kitchen counter for prepping foods. A collection of hooks are included for the side rails, and there's a wire basket for fruits or linens. 

Pros:

  • Lots of storage space
  • Sturdy

Cons:

  • Tricky to assemble

The six individual shelves are large enough to hold air fryers and pressure cookers, and all the corners are round to protect you and your family if you accidentally bump into it. It has a beautiful wood and  black metal frame finish that is both old-world and modern looking. This shelf does need to be assembled, and it isn't the most easy task to undertake because of all the pieces and parts.
