The portable collapsible garment support rack apparatus provides several desirable features. First, the apparatus can be marginally or even completely disassembled to aid in portability and transport, as well as compact storage. Disassembly and reassembly are rapid and basic. The apparatus further provides adjustable height legs, and adjustable length by way of the expansion insert fitted within the two upper tubes. Each end of the apparatus, when in the expanded state, forms an a-frame type construction, with each end having a pair of braces extended downwardly and angularly to be braced against the first and second legs of each end, thereby bracing the a-frame shape. A cross brace is also provided at each end to pivotally and removably fasten the first leg to the second leg. Each of the braces is flat-ended for best mating with the related legs and with the upper tubes.
