Clear acrylic racks at a published 45 cm with magnetic pushers, which is the length a full American hand actually needs.

Rack length is the specification that decides whether a rack works, and it is missing from most listings. At 45 cm, or 17.5 inches, a full American hand sits with room to sort rather than jammed end to end.
Shorter racks exist and they are fine for the Chinese game, which uses a shorter hand. Buying a Chinese length rack for an American set is the single most common mistake in this category, and it is only avoidable when the length is stated.
The pusher moves the wall of face down tiles forward so nobody has to lean across the table. On a long wall, doing it by hand knocks tiles flat.
Magnets hold the pusher to its rack when it is not in use. Without them, a pusher either stays permanently in the way or gets lost within a year, and both outcomes are common.
Disappears against wood, linen or stone. It suits a dining room where the game is a visitor rather than a fixture, and it photographs well, which matters to groups that share their tables.
The trade is that clear racks are easy to knock, precisely because they are hard to see.
Soft cloth, never paper towel, which hazes clear acrylic over time. Stack rather than sliding. Keep the magnets clean of grit, which is what weakens the hold.

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 published at 45 cm, which is 17.5 inches, and that is the length an American hand asks for. Working in centimetres is worth noting if you are matching racks bought elsewhere, since American listings quote inches and the conversion is where mismatches creep in. A published number in either unit beats a listing that gives none, which is most of them.
Magnets are not free, and neither is placing them. Each pusher needs its magnet seated so it holds against the rack without dragging, which means a recess cut to depth and a bond that survives being knocked. Multiply by the number of racks in a set, add 3C certification, and you have a product with more parts than it appears to have.
Judge them on the one number most listings hide. A rack whose length is published can be checked against your tiles and your table before it arrives; a rack sold on photographs cannot. These state 45 cm. The magnetic pusher is the second thing worth having, because a pusher that stays attached to its rack is a pusher that is still in the box next season.
The one whose tile size matches how you play and where you play. Larger tiles read across a table and suit anyone whose eyes are tired by evening; smaller tiles travel. Decide that first, then buy the equipment around it, because racks bought before tiles are a guess. These are 45 cm, which fits the larger American tile rather than a compact Chinese set.
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.
