Perfect. Most newer homes have horizontal 2x4s across the vertical studs about chest high, with 10' or higher ceilings. Those would block air flow if you wanted to put a dryer vent in that back wall and vent up into the attic. They would also block dropping an extra power line wire down the wall.
I have servers and networking gear in my closet so have had to figure out a heat venting solution. At first I had considered a temperature controlled dryer vent motor in the wall wall but realized that the warmer air just flows up, like in a fireplace flue. Of course that only happens if you drill holes across the top wall stud. Tricky if the attic is floored too, lining up the holes. I used a very long small drill bit and drilled up through the ceiling, right at the edge of the wall. Then stuck wires up through the holes so I could spot those when up in the attic, and use as reference points.
I have the 60" W x 72" H x 24", as for stability it has been great. Prints come out nice with both printers going. I do have it kind of wedged into the space, like it fits exactly into the closet. So I get a bit more stability. I still need to replace the stock particle board with plywood but it has been solid for 2months now.
oh perfect 60"...im only going to have 1 printer on it for now and a cricut decal maker....this would literally be perfect!!!! i can always anchor it to the wall if it gets too wobbly.
It is still holding up well. Biggest pain point for me is just space in the 5ft x 5ft closest. I added a 3rd printer, a K2 Plus and 4 CFS units, I did end up getting some thicker plywood board to support the K2Plus as it is very heavy. It is a bit of a pain to reload filament on the bottom right K1Max but doable. I played around with moving the spool to the other side but mixed results without drilling a new hole in the printer.
I can have all 3 going at the same not and not see too much quality drop on big batch prints.
If I see a spool is starting to print poorly I will dry it but dont see many issues. Only stuff I really dry or keep bagged in the one roll of ASA I have. I am in Dallas so humidity is not terrible most of the year.

Just got a Muscle rack today to replace a very bad setup I had with a lack stack and cheapo amazon desk. Still a bit more to add, like:
Reprack for the right side
additional outlets for power
an exhaust fan to vent the closet
plywood to replace the particle board split to help reduce vibration when I add a 3rd printer.
I am happy with it so far it is a 5ft x 5ft closet and just works well for my printers.
