That Temp-tations Bakers Rack is a hot mess!

Love the size, and the metal work enough but those printed shelves are a nightmare, especially when you add the printed dishes.

Why they didn't just put plain shelves on those is beyond me. Way too busy for my taste.

I had to look it up and have to agree. Even the frilly iron work doesn't agree with me. There are many nice bakers racks, but I don't care for this one.

I only saw it briefly, but was able to discern that it was just hideous and it was also very cheap-looking, as in cheaply made.

I find those patterns busy also, and profoundly unappealing.

Wonder how many they sold. heh

It's very busy looking. Not a fan of the metal scroll work.

Wouldn't the paint on those shelves eventually wear off if you slid items around on them too much?

Also, to me, that is a piece of furniture, and I wouldn't buy a piece of furniture with a pattern on it that I would probably tire of eventually, even if I liked it, which I don't

Of course, I own no Temptations, so maybe I'm no judge of how much appeal it has.

Years ago, I ordered some solid dark green and dark blue Temp items that came with wicker baskets. Sent them back in disgust. Was going to use some as gifts, BUT the sloppy packing job had tiny bits and pieces of broken styrofoam stuck in every nook of the wicker baskets and stuck to the dishes because of static. I didn't even take them all out of the box, because I didn't want the clean-up job.

I wonder if the shelves are removable and could be turned upside down?

I don't usually go for busy prints, but I thought it was pretty.

Of you love it, you could easily put a couple of clear coats on the shelves. They'd help you pick the right thing at a home store.

I got a couple of bakers racks years ago when a new furniture store had a special promotion, for $19. each. They're black, very sturdy and fold for storage. I had glass cut for the shelves. I've used them for plants inside and on a covered patio, in the kitchen, as a TV stand in the bedroom, and now I use one to hold all my folded jeans. They've really come in handy over the years.

I thought they were very cheap looking .... something I would never put in my home .... the price plus the shipping was over the top for this item ... I would not even put it in my garage.

I think they're cute, but I like TT. It's certainly not the only style I embrace.

@January121, in an odd way, you gave me an idea - perfect for my garage. I agree, more than I would like to pay, but I think I'll add it to my wish list.

@Sweetbay magnolia, seriously, if you are looking for really sturdy, easy to assemble storage racks for the garage, google origami...

I guess she is running out of ideas to put her pattern on.......

I think it's cute as well, but looks more like a book shelf. I have plants on my bakers rack.

@Sweetbay magnolia I second what Mothertrucker says, please look at Origami when you are considering buying a rack like this.

You literally take it out of the box and it sets itself up and they are sturdy. I have all of my cast iron pots and pans, most of my other pots and pans and most of my kitchen appliances on one rack and it holds all of that beautifully.

Cannot say enough good things about their products!

I!m seeing it now, tons of them in the QVC outlet stores for a fraction amount of money, w/zero interest of buying.

It's a Temptations world and we just live in it.

Seriously however, please do as others have said and look at Origami. Nice-looking and well-built.
