This invention has to do with a utensil storage stand, which comprises a base, a column extending away from the base, a distal end on the column, and utensil engaging means rotatably mounted on the column. The utensil engaging means is rotatably mounted on the distal end of the column by a ball bearing arrangement comprising plastic races co-operating with plastic or ceramic bearings interposed between the races. The utensil engagement means comprises radially extending spokes with enlarged perforations through the spokes and utensil support hooks extending from the spokes. The utensil engagement means is rotatably mounted with respect to column having an axis substantially perpendicular to the plane of the base. The radial support spokes preferably have support apertures and hooks so that utensils may be stored and efficiently positioned on the storage stand.
