Sizes and load
A shelf holding a full dinner set must carry 15 to 30 kilograms. Shelves of 12 to 14 inches deep fit dinner plates, and 10 inches suits cups and bowls. Check the height between shelves for tall jugs. A stand about 3 feet high and 2 feet wide fits most dining corners.
Materials
Steel is strong and easy to wipe. Wood looks warm but needs dry use. Glass shelves display well but need toughened glass. Plastic stands suit light use. Choose by load and the look of your dining area.
Open or closed
Open stands give quick access and show off a set, but collect dust and oil. If the dining area is close to the kitchen, closed or glass units protect better. A cloth cover can protect open stands between uses.
Placement
Place the stand near the dining table and away from the stove and sunlight. Keep walkways clear and fix tall stands to the wall to prevent tipping. Level the feet so plates do not slide.
What to check before buying
- Load rating. For a full set.
- Shelf spacing. For your tallest items.
- Stability. No wobble.
- Finish. Wipeable and rust-resistant.
Care
Dust shelves weekly, wipe steel dry and avoid soaking wood. Place liners between plates to prevent chips, and avoid stacking too many in one pile.
Before you decide
Weigh your dinner set and measure the corner before shopping. A stand that is stable, easy to wipe and the right height will serve for many years. Check the return policy, and look for shelves you can adjust as your crockery collection changes over time.
