Natural Spaces - Drying Rack Cabinet

The Natural Spaces Drying Rack Cabinet is a thoughtfully designed and highly functional art storage solution tailored for the needs of early learning and primary classrooms. This compact and versatile cabinet features 10 metal drying shelves, each sized to accommodate A3 paper, making it ideal for drying student artwork, posters, and creative projects. Each shelf slides out smoothly, allowing educators and students to access or load artworks easily without disturbing neighbouring pieces. In addition to the drying shelves, the cabinet also includes 2 fixed shelves perfect for storing art and craft supplies such as brushes, glue, paints, or containers.

Constructed from durable laminated plywood, the cabinet showcases the signature natural aesthetic of the Natural Spaces furniture range-a collection crafted to create a warm and calming atmosphere in classroom environments. With its modular design, this unit integrates neatly with other Natural Spaces furniture pieces, offering flexibility in layout for evolving learning spaces. Measuring 90cm (W) x 40cm (D) x 56.5cm (H), the drying rack cabinet is compact enough for easy positioning yet spacious enough to meet the demands of a busy art area.

As part of the Natural Spaces range, this cabinet combines natural beauty, function, and durability-an ideal choice for promoting creativity and organisation in early childhood and junior primary settings.
