Free Standing Clothes Rack, No Drilling and No Wall Fixing

There is a chair in most bedrooms doing a job no chair was designed for. Everything worn once and not yet dirty lives on it, and it has not been sat on since the day it arrived.

What Are the Key Features of This Rack's Shoulder-Shaped Top and Trouser Bar?

• No holes, no tools, no landlord conversation - it stands where you put it, which is the whole argument in a rented flat and the reason a wall rack is not an option for many people.
• It turns floor into hanging space - an alcove, the back of a door or the foot of the bed is usually the only room left once a wardrobe, a bed and a window have taken the walls.
• It moves - onto a balcony to air something out, out for guests' coats, into another room when that room changes use. A fixed rail does none of that.
• It relieves the packed wardrobe rail - clothes crushed together do not dry, do not fall straight and do not keep a crease, which is a laundry problem before it is a storage one.
• A shoulder-shaped top and a bar for trousers - it is built like a hanger on a pole, not like a rail, so the shirt keeps its line on its own shoulders and the trousers go over the bar underneath, ready the night before.

Where Can You Use This Free-Standing Clothes Rack?

• In an alcove, behind a door or at the foot of the bed, once a wardrobe, a bed and a window have taken the walls
• In a rented flat, where drilling is either forbidden outright or a deposit you argue about later
• Out on the balcony, to air something that does not need washing yet
• Indoors through the winter, when the laundry has to dry inside
• In a small shop or on a market stall, showing garments by day and packing them away at night

Why Choose a Free-Standing Rack Over One Fixed to the Wall?

• No holes, no tools, no landlord conversation - it needs no permission going up and no filler in the wall when you leave.
• Walls run out before floor does - a wardrobe, a bed and a window take every wall, and this turns the floor left over into hanging space.

Details

Standing on the floor is the entire proposition, and it answers two problems that a wall fitting cannot touch. The first is permission: an enormous share of people in this country rent, and putting holes in somebody else's wall is either forbidden outright or a deposit you will argue about later. A rack that stands needs no permission, no tools and no filler when you leave. The second is that walls run out. A bedroom that already has a wardrobe on one wall, a bed on another and a window on the third has nowhere left to fix anything, but it usually has floor - in an alcove, behind a door, at the foot of the bed - and floor is the space a standing rack converts into hanging space. It also moves, which no fixed rail does: onto a balcony for airing, into a hall for guests' coats, into a different room entirely when the room changes use.

The shape it is built in tells you how it is meant to be used. There is a base on the floor, an upright pole, a top shaped like a shoulder rather than a straight rail, and a bar across it for trousers. That is not a second wardrobe and it is not trying to be one - a rail crowds everything together, and this holds one day's clothes properly: the shirt over the shoulders where it keeps its line, the trousers over the bar instead of folded on the back of the chair. Laid out the night before, it saves the search at seven in the morning for a shirt that is not creased; at the end of the day it gives a jacket and a pair of trousers somewhere to hang and air before they go back in the wardrobe.

A standing rack takes the load off the chair, off the back of the door, and off the wardrobe rail that is packed so tightly that nothing hanging in it can breathe or fall straight. It suits a rented flat, a bedroom with no spare wall, a room shared by two people with one wardrobe between them, a place where laundry is dried indoors through the winter, and a small shop or market stall that needs to show garments and pack them away at the end of the day.
