    Abstract: A foldable and stackable rack assembly shaped and sized for holding at least one article. The assembly comprises a shelf being sized and shaped for supporting the weight of at least one article. The assembly additionally comprises legs, pivotably attached to the shelf, each leg having a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is pivotably attached to the shelf and pivotable between a first position generally perpendicular to the shelf and a second position generally parallel to the shelf. The distal end is formed to engage a horizontal surface to support the shelf when in the first position and alternately allowing the stacking of multiple rack assemblies together. In the stacked configuration, the distal end of each leg engages a second shelf of similar construction, when in the first position, so as to secure a leg of the second shelf in the first position.
