Leifheit Tower 190
Whether you dislike using the dryer for environmental reasons or simply have a wardrobe full of "lay flat to dry" labels, finding easy ways to dry clothes in a small apartment can be extremely challenging.

The first one is nice looking.
Ikea has one, or at least they did, that you could mount on the ceiling via rope and pullies. We bought it, but still haven't figured out exactly where to put it.
Thanks for the post i am in the market for one. i thought this one was a good one for hanging and sorting dirty laundry, good space saver and easy roll in and out

this one: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30176088 is awesome, I've had it for years, and it doesn't cost $85. $9.99 at IKEA
My boyfriend bought me the third one, I don't know how I coped before I had it.

Or, my favourite (but pricey):

I bought a rack at IKEA for $7 decades ago. Still going strong.
we've had several and the best is the IKEA frost ($19)...
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50095091
our last one lasted 15 years (before it started to get a bit cracked) and we're thankful that they still have them...
I have the first one - the Tower 190. It folds away flat but I don't even bother doing that. As I have a seperate shower and bathtub but little space, the rack stays permanently standing in the bathtub. The fact that its opened out base fits in the bottom of the tub was one of the key selling points for me.
I second redneckmodern - the Ikea FROST is hands down the best drying rack I've found! ($19!) Wooden ones eventually sag and break, but the FROST is a real workhorse.
i third the frost one from ikea. I've had 1 for at least 5 years and it's been amazing in terms of how many pieces of clothes we put on it. and it folds fairly thin. we ended up buying a second one because we're so paranoid that they'll stop making that rack. it takes up very little space when we're storing it.
i too have had a cheapo ikea one and think it's more practical as you can line dry sweaters on a simple flat rack but not a complicated one with small multiple tiers.
Yeah, I have 2 Ikea FROST - one for the garage and one for the house (summer/winter). They are the best - lots of drying space, sturdy, uv protected and they fold up thin and are fairly light. Mine have seen me through two years of nearly daily laundry drying (cloth diapers) and are just like the day I bought them. I hang one up high on a closet wall to save space when not in use.
If the rack causes the top items to drip onto the ones below, the ones below won't dry well or fast. Counterproductive.
I use a dryer. I have a wire shelf over the washer and dryer, and I hang my hand wash (tops and jackets, at least) on plastic hangers over the machines to dry. If I am doing regular laundry at the same time, the extra heat from the dryer in my little laundry closet expedites the drying of the hand wash, too. And since things hang side by side, nothign drips on something else.
What do people think about the ceiling mounted drying racks?
