Racks generally are assembled from several fitted sections that hold cue sticks. If you do not have a cue case at home, a cue rack is definitely a necessity to preserve your sticks. It is always beneficial to keep the sticks perfectly upright rather than rack than horizontally, as the cues are less likely to warp when upright.
Racks are great for storing the “extras”, including room for balls and talcum, (and hopefully) your many pool trophies!
