Reddit reviews CRESNEL Stainless Steel Clothes Drying Rack – Adjustable Gullwing and Foldable for Easy Storage – Rust-Proof for Indoor and Outdoor Use

I have this that I use to air dry my clothes overnight inside my small apartment. I only dry my old t shirts, cotton underwear and socks in the dryer, everything else gets hung up. The drying rack fits one big load of laundry and then when I'm done I store it under the couch. It actually works really well and I get to avoid having to find like 16 quarters every time I need to do laundry.

I will add if I had a nicer dryer I would definitely put more things in the dryer rather than hanging them up. My coin op industrial apartment machine has two settings: air fluff or heat of a thousand suns so I'm always skeptical of it.

Always make sure you're not at risk of dye leakage - either from the surface you are drying on to your clothes or vice versa (ie, new-ish furniture could color your clothes, or your new jeans could color a white sofa).

I used a bed, the backs of chairs i trusted wouldn't bleed on my clothes, or I spaced out when I washed lay-flat stuff. I would recommend a space efficient clothes drying rack you can take up and down - you could always load your clothes on it and then put it on your bed.

We currently have one that looks a lot like this and those wings are good spaces to lay flat.

remember, sweaters have to lay flat or else they'll develop the shape of the hanger in the shoulders - most jeans can be hung dry and then ironed. You can always iron if you had to lay it funny. Don't stretch it out too much when you lay it flat as you're trying to let it keep it's shape. If it's not important to keep it's shape - ie, just a t shirt that has some sort of melt-y applique on it - you can hang dry.

I’ve got this: Cresnel Stainless Steel Clothes Drying Rack – Adjustable Gullwing and Foldable for Easy Storage – Rust-proof for Indoor and Outdoor Use https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KQU1C60/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_ri1vCbHVK73QM

Works pretty well for someone without a lot of space. The top wings can almost work for lying things flat. I’ve been thinking about braiding some fishing line around it to make the gaps smaller.

I have this one and love it, but didn't pay that much for it:

It's can easily dry a full load of laundry on it -- more if I use hangers too. Fabric softener helps, only thing that doesn't dry well has been flannel, I'm sure there's a trick to it. I use it inside (apartment) but would love to use this outside if I could. Super lightweight but is sturdier than the one in this post.

Highly recommend for everyone, but especially for apartment renters -- cuts your washing cost in half. The zigzag kind are awful, do yourself a favor and get something like this...clothes horse (never heard that term but I'll be using it now).

I would recommend one of [these] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KQU1C60/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_iqxevb034RRTH). There's cheaper alternatives on Amazon but you want a nice size so that you can hang a couple loads at a time. I haven't dried anything but first layers in years and have seen a definite increase in the life of clothes.

Ive always lived in small apartments so I do laundry in the morning and hang it to dry through the day and put it away in the evenening or next day. Here are some of the types of drying racks Ive used (you can buy them at walmart or target for maybe less):

I'm using Overstock as a source of products/examples but obviously you can get stuff wherever. If you're willing to sift through lots of crap, Craigslist can be a fantastic source for nice secondhand things (I say this as someone who has furnished most of my house from CL).

• Agreed, the room definitely needs a bigger rug. It'll make the room look bigger. It doesn't have to fit the room perfectly (you're not going to be there forever) but it should at least be big enough that it fills the space and both front legs of the sofa can sit on it. I wouldn't go too dark, or it'll show fluff/dust/cat hair really easily. A natural-fiber rug like jute could look really cool and the neutral color goes with everything.
  
  
• Definitely ditch that torchiere lamp when you get a chance. They read very "college student." Something like this could be a cool replacement, over in the corner between the TV and balcony once the towers go.
  
  
• For now, flank the couch with the two Ikea side tables and put a pair of lamps on them. If you like a midcentury look, consider large, warm-colored lamps and look for straight-up-and-down drum shades rather than flared.
  
  
• Speaking of the end tables, consider replacing them at some point. No shame in the Ikea stuff, we all started there, but an upgrade will look more "adult." Craigslist is a good place to start.
  
  
• Hot tip as you appear to be an enjoyer of fine beverages: you can make really great-looking coasters out of tumbled travertine tile from Home Depot if you stick those little rubber bumper feet underneath.
  
  
• And while we're on the topic of beverages, once you ditch the towers (which you should do), the bottles could go on a bar cart about where the cat's bowl is now. Something with a gold or silver frame, or something like this in white would look great. Realistically, you're better off keeping your bar tools (strainer, jiggers, etc.) over in the kitchen area where you'll actually be prepping the drinks, but an ice bucket could be a great (and functional) mid-century-ish accent. I'd put it at a slight angle for visual appeal (so the room doesn't look like everything is lined up against the walls).
  
  
• Plant reorg ideas -- once the towers are gone, flank your TV console with those two cute little "ball" trees. Zebra grass can go on your computer desk as a nice vertical accent. That cool succulent glass pot could go on the bar cart.
  
  
• Agree on an ottoman in front of the couch -- it's great to have a place to put your feet up. Something like this does triple duty -- footrest, trays if you need a place to put a drink, AND storage.
  
  
• For art above the couch, you can get inexpensive frames at Michaels once you find a set of prints you like.
  
  
• For hockey gear, you might consider an outdoor-friendly drying rack that you can drape/clip your stuff on.
  
  
• Think about a bistro set for sitting outside in nice weather (with a fancy drink in hand!). This in teal could be funky, or something more like this if you prefer a more traditional look.
