Karim 3 Tier Wall Mounted Clothes Airer Cherry Wood

Frequently Asked Questions — Karim 3 Tier Wall-Mounted Clothes Airer Cherry Wood

What are the dimensions of the Karim wall mounted clothes airer?

When open, the Karim measures 68cm W x 63cm D x 119cm H. When closed and folded flat against the wall, it reduces to just 68cm W x 3cm D x 119cm H — making it one of the most space-efficient wall mounted clothes airers available. The middle drying grid also features four extra rails that extend approximately 25cm further than the lower grid, giving you dedicated space for longer items like trousers, sheets and towels without sacrificing rail space on the other tiers.

What wall types can the Karim be mounted on?

The Karim wall mounted airer can be installed on most standard wall surfaces, including brick, plasterboard and drywall. All mounting hardware is included. If you are installing into plasterboard, locate the studs for your installation.

Can I install the Karim myself or do I need a tradesperson?

The Karim arrives fully assembled and ready to mount — no tools are required to set up the airer itself. Installation requires drilling into your wall to attach the mounting bracket, which most DIY-confident homeowners can complete in under 30 minutes with a drill and the included hardware. If you are unsure about your wall type or fixings, a local handyperson may be preferable.

Can the Karim be installed above a laundry bench?

Yes — the Karim can be used for above-bench installation. When fully folded, the airer sits just 3cm from the wall, allowing it to be positioned directly above a laundry bench without interfering with your workspace. Simply fold it down when you need it, and fold it flat when you're done. It is recommended to install the Karim on an empty, narrow wall. An empty wall allows you to hang and dry long items, also providing easy access to the drying rack. Narrow spaces are a great spot for this airer as it effectively uses traditionally difficult spaces.

Do you have to use all three drying shelves at once?

No — you can choose to use one, two or all three tiers depending on your load size. The shelves open sequentially from top to bottom, meaning you open the top shelf first, then the middle, then the bottom. To use fewer tiers, simply open as many as you need and leave the rest folded. This makes the Karim just as practical for a small daily load as it is for a full family wash. This allows you to dedicate a full tier to longer items like sheets, trousers or towels by folding the other tiers away.

How much drying space does the Karim have?

The Karim provides 16 linear metres of drying space across 25 powder-coated aluminium drying rails spread over three collapsible tiers. This is significantly more drying capacity than most freestanding clothes airers, and offers a similar footprint, making it an ideal wall mounted drying rack solution for families and anyone wanting to maximise their laundry space.

What is the difference between the Karim White and the Karim Cherry Wood?

Both versions are identical in size, drying capacity and function — the only difference is the frame finish. The White version features a white powder-coated aluminium frame, making it a clean, minimal choice that blends into most laundry interiors. The Cherry Wood version features a solid cherry wood frame with a warm, natural finish for a more premium, furniture-grade aesthetic. Both are priced at $349.

Does the Karim come assembled?

Yes — the Karim arrives completely assembled. The only step required is mounting it to your wall using the included hardware. There is no flat-pack assembly required.

How do I care for and clean the Karim clothes airer?

The aluminium drying rails are powder-coated and 100% rustproof — wipe them down periodically with a damp cloth to remove any detergent or lint residue. The beechwood frame can be wiped with a dry or lightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the timber or using harsh chemical cleaners.

Can the Karim be used indoors and outdoors in Australia?

The Karim is designed primarily for indoor use and performs best in a well-ventilated laundry or living space. It can also be used undercover outside — such as under a pergola or covered patio — provided it is protected from direct rain and prolonged moisture exposure. It is not suitable for unsheltered outdoor use, as this may affect the timber frame and powder-coated rails over time
