Domestic Science: Best Drying Rack from Columbia, Missouri

August 25, 2011

Summer in New England is hot and humid, and towels seem permanently damp, always on the verge of mildew. This year, I became obsessed with tracking down a vintage-style towel drying rack that would encourage my teenagers to hang their beach towels outside the back door. I embarked on an internet search and was delighted to discover the Best Drying Rack, reminiscent of drying racks of yore (indeed, the design is based on a drying rack that owner Greg Baka found in an antique store).

Above: The arrival of the Best Drying Rack has reaffirmed what I have always known: “When things are simple and easy to use, people (teens included) actually use them.” Made in the US of maple hardwood dowels and corrosion-resistant steel, the Best Drying Rack features stable tripod construction; $79.00.

Nothing beats the smell of fresh laundry hung on the line. See Made in Canada: World’s Best Laundry Pulley and hang your laundry on the line.
