Each rod is provided on one end thereof with an internal thread and on the other end thereof with an external thread. Each end with an internal thread of the foot is inserted into one hole on the bottom plate, while the end with an internal thread of the foot is threadedly engaged with the end of the rod with an external thread. The other end of the rod with an internal thread is inserted into a hole on the intermediate plate. The end with an external thread of a seal is threadedly inserted into the end with an internal thread of the first mentioned rod. In this way, a rack for office machines is constructed, wherein, the bottom plate and the intermediate plate can be connected in suiting convenient use of one or more office machines.
