VASAGLE BARNET KKS024B01 6-Tier Kitchen Rack with Adjustable Shelf and Hooks

If you need to organise appliances and utensils without spreading them across the worktop, the VASAGLE BARNET KKS024B01 brings several storage levels together in one freestanding kitchen rack. It measures 60 x 40 x 167 cm and combines a steel frame with particleboard shelves in a rustic brown and matte black finish.

There are three top shelves, three lower shelves and six S-shaped hooks. The middle lower shelf has two height settings, giving you some flexibility for items such as a taller air fryer or soup pot.

Highlights

This rack is intended to create a dedicated appliance and prep area: a microwave and coffee machine can sit alongside other kitchen essentials, while the hooks keep utensils close at hand. That makes it a more consolidated approach than using a separate stand for one appliance and leaving the rest on the counter. The trapezium-shaped, industrial-style design also suits a kitchen where open shelving is preferable to concealed storage.

The stated maximum load is 142.1 kg, but the individual shelf limits matter when deciding where to put heavier items: each top shelf is rated for 10.4 kg, the middle lower shelf for 38.5 kg, and each other lower shelf for 36.2 kg. Keep within those limits. Buyers have praised the rack’s storage space, appearance and sturdiness, and some describe assembly as straightforward with clear instructions, these are customer impressions rather than a guarantee of how it will work in every kitchen.

Getting the most from it

Plan the layout around the shelf limits before loading it. Lighter items can go on the top shelves, with heavier appliances placed on the lower shelves in line with their stated capacities. If you are setting up a breakfast station, for example, you could group the microwave and coffee machine below, then use the hooks for utensils you want within reach.

The feet are adjustable to help balance the rack on slightly uneven floors. The included anti-tip kit is intended to secure it to a wall, and the instructions advise using it. The rack should not be treated as a climbing frame, and food should not be placed directly on the metal wire basket for hygiene reasons.

Tips for day-to-day use

You’ll like it if you want one open unit for appliances, kitchen storage and hanging utensils, particularly where using vertical space is useful. Its footprint is 60 x 40 cm, so consider how that will sit alongside your existing worktops and cupboards before choosing a spot. Better avoided if you need every shelf to take the same load: the top shelves have a lower stated limit than the lower ones.

Questions before you buy

Can the shelf height be changed? The middle lower shelf has two height options, the product details do not describe adjustment for the other shelves.

Are hooks and wall-fixing hardware included? The stated contents include six S-shaped hooks and an anti-tip kit, along with instructions.

Does it need to be secured to a wall? The safety guidance says to attach it using the included anti-tip kit. Adjustable feet are also included to help with balance on slightly uneven floors.

Should you buy it?

Choose the KKS024B01 if you want a single open rack to bring appliance storage and utensils together, rather than a stand with space for just one appliance. Its adjustable middle shelf adds flexibility, while the different shelf load limits mean heavier items need to be placed selectively. For this type of use, it offers a practical way to make a kitchen storage area more organised, provided its dimensions and wall-fixing requirement suit your space.
