Sax Over-The-Door Drying Rack, 20 Shelves

This is just perfect for my small print shop. The shelves were in good condition (no damage at all) when it arrived. Every part was there, including an Allen wrench and a thin open-end wrench.The instructions are a series of technical drawings and fairly easy to follow, although some of the details are quite small. I put it together in about 20 minutes, and had no trouble with the rubber bumpers. But I can see that some people with weaker hands may need a small screwdriver to pry open the slit in the bumper.One disappointment is the grid spacing. I print small cards, and they fall though the openings, so I'll add some wires to reduce the opening size. The overall dimensions specified on the Amazon site are misleading, making it sound like it's about 12" wide and that it sticks out 18" from the door. That just didn't make sense and I was glad to that the overall dimensions are actually about 20" wide and about 13" deep. Each shelf (from left to right as you face it) is 19-1/4" wide, and 12-1/4" deep. That makes the six openings about 6" square, and that's a problem for my 4" X 6" cards—but I'll fix it. See below:UPDATE: I bought a roll of inexpensive plastic fence material, cut it with scissors, and mounted a piece on each shelf with a few plastic zip ties. Works great.It would be nice if the description was more accurate with regard to length and width, and also specifically listed the spacing of the wires.As for not being able to fold up more than about 10 shelves, that is true, but a bungee cord or bent clothes-hanger wire should solve that problem.UPDATE: After using the rack, I agree that there is a real need to support (fold) the top ten shelves, one at a time. I intend to bend a coat hanger wire and use it for a shorter support hook. That will pull the shelves up to get them out of the way. By the way, if I were using large sheets, this would not be an issue, but I put about eight or ten smaller cards on each shelf, so I must get them positioned so they don't overlap.Overall, I'm quite pleased with this purchase. It's convenient, not too heavy, very portable, and not too expensive.James (in Atlanta)

I have a small art studio and was looking for some drying racks to dry prints.The pros are that I can hang this from the rafters and not take up valuable floor space. You can dry about 44 8.5*11 prints on this or 22 11"17.Can be broken down and stacked in a fairly small spaceCons you cannot use the whole rack space because the racks have a rubber foot which would touch the top of the print. So if you need the whole area you mush get a bigger one.

This drying rack has changed our art game in the clinic! It can fold up and hook once pieces are dry to minimize space and can be left down to dry pieces. There is plenty of room for pieces to be protected from other work and depending on the size multiple small pieces can dry on the same rack at a time. The most positive feature is over the door hangers that are a real space saver! The grids are larger and can be a tad tricky to balance smaller pieces on it without falling through, but only for the smallest and thin pieces of paper. Otherwise this is a great tool!

This item came in a box completely mangled when it arrived. Parts were missing there were no instructions and I had to pay almost $20 to return back on a prime purchase.

This over the door drying rack has worked very well for me. I do wish the handle to hold up the shelves was adjustable but it’s not. No biggie. If I had another door I’d buy another

As a student, this shelf fits perfectly in my studio apartment. While larger works shouldn’t work on the rack (16x 20), I did figure out a work around for a single shelf. The hooky bits used to hold all the shelves in a compact position can actually hook onto other shelves higher up. With a little ingenuity, by hooking one of the mid-shelves, you can leave a larger opening and feasibly put a 16x 20 piece on that opened shelf without the bumpers touching the print. This also leaves the very top shelf at an angle which could hold a larger piece as well. Overall, I love this rack and can’t wait to move it to my studio room at home.Update 5/6/19 - I've added some plastic mesh sheets which I had left over from a project to the shelves with mini zip ties so that I have a flat surface for smaller prints and pieces. Knocked off a star (though I wish it was just a half) since the shelves could really do with an additional cross grid within each of the 6" square gaps.Plan to put some thin rope into the unused holes in the frame above the rack so I can clothespin pictures and other things.Update 7/24/19:Done with school and moved home. I have added 1/8" welding wire between the top empty holes to make a hanging for pictures and small items via clothespins or that sort of thing. I also hung the rack on a bar that is out of the way so that my craft room door is easily accesible. Loving the shelf tons.

Bought this because I just graduated and no longer have access to a studio space, so I made one in my home. It's perfect because it doesn't take up any extra floor space. The only complaint I have is the work I've been doing is too small to sit on the rack without something under it. I've been using newsprint to make sure my prints don't fall through. Other than that, no complaints.

For some reason art drying racks are consistently very expensive and very flimsy. I bought this one when it went on a sale and I think it'll hopefully do the job for the students' artwork at our school without immediately falling apart. I finally had the time to put it together yesterday and one of the racks is defective. As you can see in the pictures one of the spots didn't weld together properly before they even coated it. I reached out to the supplier to see if they would replace just that one rack and because it was 38 days since my purchase instead of 30 they will not send me a replacement. So if this flimsy rack falls apart after we start using it, as it seems likely to based on it's quality, I guess it's good to know now that the company is completely inflexible about backing up their product and this likely end up being a big waste of money.

Excellent tool, that does its job well. Easy to install and use. It was delivered very fast.
