We all host guests at our homes, and visitors, expected or not, have luggage. Luggage accessibility in such cases can be improved with a luggage rack. (Yes, those foldable racks found in hotel rooms.) Luggage racks are handy supports that hold open suitcases for unpacking. Ideally, a luggage rack should be solid and made from wood or metal. The best ones even have a shelf at the base. Depending on how much space you have, you may want to choose one that's foldable. We've compiled the best options available.

Hi! I'm Annie, and I'm the Head Ecommerce Editor at Real Homes. I've been part of the Real Homes team since 2018, when I joined as Deals Editor. Along with covering major sales events — from Black Friday to Amazon Prime Day — I review home must-haves so that you can buy with peace of mind. Mostly focusing on home fragrance and sleep, as well as a few vacuum cleaners, I've tested pretty much every item you can think of that you need in your home. I live on the outskirts of the city in a two-bed apartment with my husband and my pug, Doug. So I am always searching for compact alternatives and ways to save floor space. What about when I am not typing away? Well, you'll find me enjoying an iced coffee (no matter the season) and trying out the latest brunch spots the city has to offer, or booking my next holiday. Where else can you find my words? Livingetc, Homes & Gardens, Ideal Home, Gardeningetc, and Woman & Home.
