While some bakers racks choose to provide you with height, the Southern Enterprises Pengrove Bakers Rack opts to deliver extra width, and we think it's a great choice. The wide body gives you plenty of workspace above an open storage shelf and three baskets of natural rattan. Each shelf is crafted from engineered wood with select wood veneers finished in dark tones. The frame is made from square-tube steel with a powder-coated finish in rustic brown. This rack could easily hold your microwave, any number of serving pieces, or it could just be used as extra counter and prep space.

A note about wood composite or engineered wood: Often referred to as MDF, which stands for medium-density fiberboard, this type of wood composite is made of compressed wood fibers and has several benefits, including affordability, consistency, and resistance to warping or rotting over time.
