Zoom Art Drying Rack for Classroom Organization, Home School, or Preschool; Table Top Drying Rack for Art, Wire Art Rack for Art Cart Classroom Drying Rack for Art; Paint Drying Rack (20 Shelves)

I had no idea drying racks like this were available. I do small scale printmaking with a gel plate. Usually a print session means pages laid out on top of every flat surface and covering the floor around me, to dry. But now I have this rack! Size - the rack sent to me is about 18 x 24inches when assembled, and about 16 inches tall. It is not too heavy to move when fully assembled, but you'd have to move it carefully if it was loaded with drying papers. The rack shelves are about an inch apart. Papers/panels as large as 11x17inches fit on each rack shelf, or fit 2 pieces that are standard letter size, side by side on a single rack shelf. I used cookie sheets for groups of papers from projects on the shelves for some short term storage. There are 20 shelves, so I still have half the rack for drying work. The price for the drying rack seemed comparable to other drying racks on Amazon. The advantage of this rack is it sits on a table when in use and hides in a corner or under a table when you clean up for open studio time. It's easy to slide material onto the shelves. If you load the shelves in order from bottom to top, you can pull up the shelves a little to get some extra room. I work on tissue paper sometimes, so I ordered some corrugated plastic to use as a tray of sorts for tissue paper prints. (Or corrugated cardboard covered with freezer paper would work, too.) I think this is a good product. (Another reviewer had trouble with sharp edges. I ran my hands all over the surfaces of the rack - not any sharp edges on the rack I was sent.) Glad to have this rack and give it the five stars it deserves!

I've got an upcoming screenprint endeavor which requires a drying rack, and this tabletop model seemed perfect for my small working space. In setting it up and getting to work, I concluded it might not be worth $99, but it certainly does the job. The rack showed up disassembled, but having the necessary tools on hand, I put this together pretty quickly. Two notes though: 1. Assembly requires a Philips head screwdriver, which is not included. 2. Ensure the wire shelves are sitting horizontal. While assembling, it initially seemed like the wire shelves were *meant* to sit at an incline...until one side's tilted shelves prevented me from inserting the opposite side's shelves as intended. (Another reviewer may have run into this issue, from what I read.) What I found upon using it: Pros: It does what it's supposed to! All assembly notes aside, this has proven to be a solid solution for my print-drying needs. Cons: It's not really worth $99. This is a small, simple rack built from some sort of powder-coated alloy rather than stainless steel, so it's not necessarily boasting additional features or top-shelf material quality. But, again, it does the job.

Assembly took about ten minutes. You screw the legs onto the main frame (screws and hex wrench provided). Then adjust the legs (the wonkiest part for us, because it really didn’t want to sit flat - had to bend things a little). The tray pop into the holes and tip down easily to complete the rack. Feels sturdy, but not too heavy once assembled (I can still lift with one arm). Could leave out trays if you were drying something taller, but should do the job of spaces no art or prints apart while they dry. No problems here.

I waited over a month for this to arrive. It finally showed up and I am disappointed. The instructions don't match the parts and the parts don't fit together right. The screws on the bottom that hold the two pieces of the frame together don't sit flush and they don't seem to tighten properly. The rack parts sit at odd angles to one another causing some of them to touch.

This rack was easy to assemble (two bolts attached from the underside with a phillips screwdriver for the main frame). It feels sturdy and comes with many "shelf" attachments that slide in. I like that the shelves can be arranged so that you have more space or less space between them depending on the size of what you are drying and the number of shelves you need. The shelves are easy to add and remove. I would have liked the shelves to have a smaller mesh for smaller or more delicate/wetter items that may need that extra support. This rack will probably also be useful to "display" work at art shows since the artwork can easily and safely be stacked, slid out to view, and stored compactly and the rack can be transported easily once the shelves have been removed. I took two stars off my rating for availability and price. This item took a while to receive after ordering (it wasn't shipped until nearly a month after ordering) and the cost seems high for what it is.

This rack is excellent for artists with limited space. However, it is by no means small. It is on the larger side at about 2 feet by 1 foot. It is an awkward, solid tool. Ensure you measure the area where you want to keep it and check the measurements to ensure it will fit. It is much smaller than other drying racks I have used, and it fits nicely on a table in the studio. It can support traditional artwork on paper, crafts, and other projects. Using the rack, I can free up space taken by items needing to dry or set.

My wife and I are both public school art teachers and from time to tome we like to do our own art work at home. This was a great find for us because we don't have a ton of space and we didn't need to hold a lot. The rack was easy to put together and went up pretty quickly. We did not find any sharp edges anywhere on this rack, however, I can see where some people may have had them on theirs. The wire racks have a pretty solid coating on them to prevent rust and we are very happy about that. The racks move smoothly and there is enough space to hold our flat work for drying. All in all we are very satisfied with this item and highly recommend this for any home artist!

I'm rating 5 stars because it is exactly as described. It's much bigger than expected, but not as big as others. It's extremely sturdy and will hold quite a bit of weight. Like others you can customize, by adding or removing shelves as needed. You can maneuver the racks to different angles if necessary. The wire has a protective layer, preventing damage to artwork and allowing pieces to be placed in smoothly. It's quality is right up there with all of the others I've seen, if not better. It's definitely an efficient drying rack, however I still feel the price is a bit steep. $99 at the time of my review. Others at this price are either bigger, have wheels, and some include other accessories
