Rack?
The term baker’s rack is another possibility that comes to mind.
Traditional baker’s racks are open shelving units designed for kitchen storage and food preparation.

A conventional baker’s rack is generally recognizable as furniture, whereas a rack specifically built into a kitchen may have been designed for a much narrower purpose.
