I live in a small condo, so space is an absolute premium.  Preparing for a trip becomes cumbersome in a confined area so they luggage rack makes it much easier to pack/unpack my suitcase.  I should have purchased this a long time ago instead of using the bed or a chair for temporarily resting my luggage. The rack easily folds up and fits under the bed or in small places when not in use.  Good investment at a good price.
