4 acrylic racks that double as tile storage, so the same object holds a hand during the game and the set between them.

A mahjong set generates clutter: tiles, racks, pushers, dice, an indicator, a box for some of it and a bag for the rest. Sets are lost by dispersal, and every additional loose component makes that more likely.
A rack that also stores tiles removes one category entirely. It holds a hand during the game and holds part of the set between games, which is one fewer thing to find in a cupboard.
The unexpected benefit. Tiles stored in racks are already laid out in rows rather than tipped into a bag, so building the wall at the start of an evening takes noticeably less time.
Over a weekly game that is minutes back every session, and it removes the small friction that stops a spontaneous game from happening.
Storage racks are usually a little deeper than playing racks to hold the tiles securely, so confirm the rack height suits your tiles and that a loaded rack still hides a hand at eye level across the table.
Wipes clean, does not hold oils, and does not warp with humidity the way a wooden rack can. It scratches, so stacking rather than sliding is the habit to keep.
Damp cloth, no solvent. Store the racks stacked with the pushers seated rather than loose.

The upgrade that shows
Racks sit in front of you all night. Trade the plastic ones that came in the box for something you like looking at.
No more sliding
A rack that holds your exposure and pushes a clean wall. The frustration goes away and you stop thinking about it.
Finish the table
Wood or acrylic, picked to sit with your mat. Four matching racks pull the whole setup together.
These are two products in one shell, which is where the cost goes. A rack that also stores tiles has to be deeper, has to hold its shape when it is full and lifted, and has to be closed in a way that does not spill. That is more acrylic and more assembly than a plain rack, for four units. Against buying racks and a storage case separately, the sum is the point.
For anyone short of cupboard space, the ones that put the set away. A rack that doubles as storage removes an object from the shelf and puts the tiles back sorted, so the next game starts faster. The trade is bulk: these are deeper than a plain rack, so if your table is crowded with 4 seats, a slim rack may suit you better than a clever one.
Racks earn their place in American play, where the hand is long and has to stay hidden. Pushers earn theirs wherever a wall is built, since a wall shoved by hand shears apart. Neither is required by any rule. What changes here is that the rack is doing a second job between games, so it is not competing with anything else for shelf space.
Sometimes, and rarely this type. General retailers stock the plain rack, because it is the version most buyers recognise, and the two in one is a specialist object that sells on explanation rather than on sight. If you do find racks locally, the useful checks are how many are in the box and whether the tray depth suits your tiles.
A mahjong set is handled more than almost anything else in the house: every tile passes through four pairs of hands, several times a game.
That is what we select for. Tiles that read clearly from the far side of the table, edges that stay clean, and a case that still closes after a few seasons of being carried around.
Sets differ in ways that only show at the table: the weight of a tile in the hand, how a crak reads from three seats away, whether the case survives the trip to a friend’s house.
When we have the figures, we publish them: tile count, tile size, weight and material. When we do not have one, we leave it out rather than guess.
