I got this as a secondary drying rack because I never had quite enough room on mine. It will work perfectly. It stands just below the height of a standard light switch. I also frequently clean some of our door mats and this with work perfectly to dry them outside. It also will be able to tuck away behind a shelf. I would not use it for a primary drying rack, I don’t think it is quite large enough, but it is great as a back up. It is also very easy to move around, which is helpful.
