A dish rack having first and second side walls, each having one or more vertical sections for supporting one or more items to be held vertically on the dish rack, first and second end members, each having terminal portions for pivotably engaging the first and second sidewalls to maintain a variable fixed distance between the first and second sidewalls, where the pivotal engagement of the end members and the side walls permits the dish rack to be adapted from a use configuration, where the side walls are spaced apart in the form of a frame, to a storage configuration, where the side walls are adjacent one another and the dish rack is flat.
