Abstract

A tiered rotary organizer and display rack. In one embodiment, an organizer rack is provided that includes an upper perimeter support and a lower perimeter support. A plurality of vertical partitions having an upper end and a lower end can be attached to the upper perimeter support near the upper end and attached to the lower perimeter support near the lower end, wherein each of the plurality of vertical partitions supports an article support member that is configured to support an item on the organizer rack. A plurality of upper rack support members are attached to the upper perimeter support, each of the plurality of upper rack support members being configured for attachment to one of a first plurality of elongated hanging supports (e.g., chain, rod, wire, etc.), wherein the coupling of the first plurality of elongated hanging supports to the plurality of upper rack support members is configured to provide a first hanging support of the organizer rack from an above support member (e.g., swivel socket or another organizer rack).
