This Amish-made adjustable wooden clothes dryer is the apartment-and-small-home version of the larger floor dryers. The smaller footprint (19-3/4 inches wide by 23 inches deep when set up) makes it usable in tight spaces where a full-size folding dryer doesn’t fit, while still providing enough rung space for a load of t-shirts, socks, and underwear to air-dry overnight.
Built by Amish craftsmen from unfinished soft maple, the dryer is the same quality wood construction as the larger arch and accordion dryers in Lehman’s catalog, just sized for compact use. The unfinished maple develops a smooth working patina with use rather than the painted-then-chipped finish of mass-produced metal dryers. At 14-1/4 lb the dryer is heavy enough to stay anchored under a full load but light enough to carry one-handed.
Folds for storage to 28 inches long by 19-7/8 inches wide by 7 inches high — slides behind a couch, into a closet, or under a bed between uses. For renters, condo owners, RV households, and anyone whose laundry space doesn’t include vent options for an electric dryer, this Amish-made dryer is the right purchase. Lehman’s catalog selection for off-grid and small-home households.
