In one example, we describe a device for an efficient and compact rack system for knives and other kitchenware. This stylish design integrates: One or more (e.g., three) grinders, a cutting/chopping board, a tray, and a complete full size knife rack, as an example. All these kitchen tools are specifically designed to fit in the same space that a full-size knife rack normally takes. We have also shown a flexible compartment for various tools/storage, based on 3 different structures: 1. Accordion shaped vertical structure. 2. X-shaped or + shaped vertical structures. 3. Straw or thin bar vertical structures. Many different variations are shown here, as well.
