A bakers rack is a lightweight storage frame typically used in dining areas for both practical and decorative purposes. Each of these pieces features spacious drawers and cabinets along with display space for collectibles and service pieces. The baker’s rack has become much more than just a necessity. The first baker's racks with the familiar open backs and vented shelves were used to cool pies. Ornamental designs were popular then and continue today as a warm welcome in the kitchen.
