Something really amazing just happened to me. A few minutes ago I did laundry, came back to my room, got my drying rack out from under my bed, set it up, and expanded it. For the first time, my drying rack is able to reach its full wing-span, stretch all the way out in both directions of its stretchability, and still fit very comfortable in my room. There is probably room for three shirts across each bar; I never knew it had such potential. Finally, there is space to hang dry my un-dryable clothes..albeit the space has not yet magically grown from it's one-room studio size, it's still big enough to do laundry in.
