Abstract

A laundry room support rack has a wire frame shelf supported by wire frame sides. Each wire frame side has three wire segments. A horizontal segment extends in the front to back direction. A vertical segment extends up from the back end of the horizontal segment. And a diagonal segment extends between an upper end of the vertical segment and a forward end of the horizontal segment. A cross member extends between the opposite upper ends, and has apertured portions for receiving wall fasteners. A front U-shaped segment has arms securely engaging the frame sides at positions near the front ends. The U-shaped segment has a horizontal base segment that permits the hanging of garment hangers thereon. The frame sides gain strength from the diagonal segments for supporting loads on the shelf and the horizontal base segment.
