Eleven coated rods across a powder-white steel frame give a modest load of shirts, towels, or linens somewhere to hang while the dryer sits idle. The rack stands 42 inches high on a base of 14.25 by 29.5 inches, folds flat between uses, and carries up to 20 pounds of wet fabric.
The frame is metal rather than wood, welded and coated in white so it stays quiet against pale laundry room walls and bathroom tile. Eleven evenly spaced rods hold the load, and the coating keeps damp cotton from picking up marks. Wiping the bars down takes a damp cloth and a minute.
A 20-pound ceiling covers a typical machine load of shirts and underthings, or a smaller stack of heavier bath towels. Spacing pieces one rod apart lets air move between them, which shortens drying time noticeably compared with doubling items up over a shower rail or a door edge.
At 42 inches high and 29.5 inches wide the rack sits at a comfortable working height beside a machine, in a bathroom, a bedroom corner, or out on a balcony in warm weather. Once the laundry is dry the frame collapses to a flat panel that stands in a closet or leans behind a door.
