Instead of having to hang wet drippy art work on the clothesline or trying to find precious tabletop space, you can simply whisk the painting away and leave it to dry on the shelf.

On top of that, the top or bottom shelves can be used for storage of construction paper and other types of paper used for artwork. So no space is really wasted.

A wall drying rack won’t be out of reach for the kids if you have a small and safe stool for them to stand on. You can name or color code each rack so that the child knows which rack their painting goes on.

Below you will see comparison shopping of the wall mounted drying rack from different companies. All of the companies below are recommended and are popular with customers who shop online. The differences will be in price, shipping costs, quality, size and finishings.
