How to Fold Luggage Racks
Luggage racks are fold-out stands that can be placed at the foot of a bed or adjacent to a dresser for unpacking a suitcase. Made with two sets of scissor legs with flexible straps across the top for holding up a suitcase, luggage racks are typically made out or wood or metal. Keep a luggage rack in your guest room to ensure that overnight guests have a convenient place to keep their suitcase. Luggage racks are easy to fold and take up little storage space.

Tips & Warnings
Keep wooden luggage racks looking clean and shiny by periodically polishing them with a wood cleaner and polish. Clean metal luggage racks with warm water and a mild liquid detergent.
Do not use luggage racks for items heavier than an average suitcase as the excessive pressure can damage the scissor hinges on the legs or break off the supporting cross bars. Luggage racks can typically hold about 100 pounds.
