These are the BEST invention on earth.  We bought 2 of these for our new houses' laundry room which is long but narrow leaving little room to walk around with just typical floor model drying racks.  These fold up totally against the wall and hold so much between the rods and the hooks in the back.  Highly recommend these to anyone who wants to "hide" drying racks.  Many of my neighbors have now purchased them as well after seeing mine!!
