Abstract: A storage rack comprised of a pair of brackets, each of which preferably and advantageously is of a two-piece construction so that they can be easily packaged for storage and shipping. Along with these brackets there is provided a number of shelves which are of a vinyl coated wire construction and can be in different lengths. The storage racks are attached to a cabinet door by first affixing the brackets in parallel, spaced-apart relationship to the inside of the cabinet door. In affixing these brackets to the cabinet door, the spacing between them should at least closely approximate the length of shelves to be supported by the brackets. It is not necessary that the spacing between the brackets be exact, since the shelves are designed to compensate for variations in the spacing between the brackets. In this respect, the shelves have a bottomwall, a front wall and a pair of side walls.
