I like the chrome wire bakers racks available through SAM's. Cost $90.00
and comes with 5 or 6 shelves. They are hell for stout and you can
really load them up - like 600 lbs or so.. They have nice large wheels
so can be rolled around easily. I haven't seen these at SAM's but at
Lowes's I have bought bakers rack tailored canvas covers that have
zippers so the whole rack can be covered over if you wish. this is
really good id you want a very slow drying process. The cover is $24.95.
I got the wheels with the racks when I bought mine - but they may be
sold separate now.

I bought the ones in the link below at Costco 10 years ago and still =3D
carry them.

They are very sturdy and are still serving me well.
