Great idea. I'm eyeing up the TV display shelves right now.

Why not use a slot processer?

Expensive and not the best for Lith printing.

I have a slot processor and must admit I miss the print developing in front of my eyes as happened when I attended the darkroom course at Leamington College's nightschool.

I have done similar with a free standing shelving thing which was intended for our en-suite bathroom but wouldn't fit. I am putting some cupboards in my darkroom instead though and will move to putting the trays on top of those, these shelving ideas though do indeed make great use of free space.

Default a drying rack

I have read many posts about drying film, sometimes contributing experiences. But the perfect equipment is not often easy to get. I spotted an ideal drying rack the other day in IKEA - a length of hanging wire (intended for curtains) DIGNITET part no 600.752.95 with a pair of wall brackets and tensioners. You'll need a packet of 24 stainless-steel clips RIKTIG part number 802.122.01. The clips are perfect for the top (they almost pierce the film) but you may need to add weight at the bottom clips for 35mm. Both products can be ordered through Amazon.
