    Drying racks

    I've decided to buy a drying rack or two. I've got a good bit of room in a corner of my kitchen. Where did you get yours? I'd prefer to spend a bit to get a good one.

    Thanks!

    When I had bought some I went to Target, where they have metal ones that have a plastic covering over each rung and I really liked that a lot since the wood ones could possibly leave a stain on the clothing if the item is too wet and left there for too long.

    I saw this in action at a fair last fall, and ordered it late this summer. It's fantastic! Best I've ever had. Made by a family in MO.

    Ikea has the best ones I've seen, with the most practical arrangement and largest hanging space.

    Being the traditionalist that I am, I appreciate the classic wooden-doweled accordion style rack over all else. Old-fashioned, sturdy, built right.

    I would second MrsMs choice. I have two wooden ones I bought at Menards. They don't sell the same sturdy ones at Menards anymore so I will buy one from the amishhomeplace next time.

    I got the same one as Mrs. M did, only from Lehman's catalog. The large one. It's worked great for many years.

    Additionally, if you do decide to go for a traditional accordion-style wooden rack, you can purchase closet-bar plastic sleeves, then slit them from one end to the other, and affix the sleeves to one or two wooden dowels to ensure the snag-free drying of dedicates, etc. My husband did this on mine.
