We have a galley type laundry and these racks are perfect. We set them above head height so when they are folded away you don’t know they are there. When in use and extended there is still plenty of room to access the washer and dryer or walk through to the back door without bobbing and ducking around the clothes. They look professional and are a very effective use of space. I made sure that the mounting screws lined up with wall studs where possible and used a heavy duty drywall anchor on the others. So far there are no issues with the units separating from the wall.
