Rather than a flat frame, this rack works vertically: a steel column 64.5 inches high with arms that fan out across a 26-inch circle. Wet towels, jeans, and shirts hang around it, and slots along the arms hold hangers so freshly pressed garments dry without creasing.
The arms hinge inward against the column, dropping the rack to a narrow shape that stands in a closet or behind a door. Opening it again takes a moment, so it can be set up in the middle of a room while a load dries and cleared away before anyone sits down to dinner.
Slots cut into the arms hold hangers in place instead of letting them slide toward the low point, which spaces garments apart so air reaches both sides. Shirts that come off the rack on their own hangers go straight into the closet without a second handling.
A steel frame and steel arms give the medium size the rigidity to hold heavy wet denim without leaning. Its circle measures 26 inches across, small enough for an apartment laundry corner or a bathroom, while the height puts most of the drying capacity well above the floor.
Folding bamboo drying rack with 11 dowels and a flat shelf for sweaters, opening to 29.25 inches wide.
Folding tripod dryer in silver and blue that hangs as many as 72 garments on a footprint two feet square.
