Claim 0:
1. A luggage rack comprising:
a first framework member spaced apart from a second framework member;
a first shelf tier comprising:
a first shelf support structure; and
a first shelf member connected to a portion of the first shelf support structure; and

a folding system configured to transition the luggage rack between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration;
wherein the first and second framework members each extend vertically, and remain in a constant vertical orientation through luggage rack transition;
wherein a distal portion of the first shelf tier comprises a portion of the first shelf member;
wherein the first shelf support structure comprises:
a first support member;
a second support member;
a third support member; and
a fourth support member;

wherein the first support member is pivotally attached to the third support member;
wherein the second support member is pivotally attached to the fourth support member;
wherein the first support member and the second support member each have a first end abutting the first shelf member and a second end attached to the respective first framework member and second framework member;
wherein the first support member and the third support member are in an “X” configuration in an extended orientation of the first shelf tier that is associated with the extended configuration of the luggage rack;
wherein the second support member and the fourth support member are in the “X” configuration in the extended orientation of the first shelf tier;
wherein the first shelf tier has a retracted orientation associated with the retracted configuration of the luggage rack;
wherein the extended and retracted orientations of the first shelf tier are different, the orientation of the first shelf tier being variable through luggage rack transition;
wherein, when in the extended orientation, the distal portion of the first shelf tier is a maximum distance from the first and second framework members;
wherein, when in the retracted orientation, the distal portion of the first shelf tier is a minimum distance from the first and second framework members;
wherein a length of the luggage rack is defined by the distance between the distal portion of the first shelf tier and the first and second framework members; and
wherein the length of the luggage rack in the retracted configuration is shorter than the length of the luggage rack in the extended configuration.
