If space is at a premium and it doesn’t need to support a lot, I would suggest a wall mounted rack. I believe some of them can also be disassembled relatively easily.

One downside for me to a wall-mounted rack: the distance between the uprights isn't adjustable.
I have a tendency not to put the bar back centered so for a standard length barbell I keep mine an inch or two closer than what, e.g., I have in my power rack. I don't know about anyone else, but while I don't mind looking to the sides when putting a regular SQ back in the rack, it feels weird to do that with a front squat and I am in a FSQ cycle now. And when I switch from FSQ to back squat, because my squat bar is also 10 inches longer than a standard barbell, I set them wider. I've had problem when loading/unload the squat bar if I don't do that.
TL;DR
I have vertigo, an aftereffect of a childhood with severe asthma and allergies. This was diagnosed during 3 days of tests at an ENT practice when I was in my mid-40' when I was having debilitating symptoms every few months. Moving up and down while squatting doesn't help; The 5 x 5 I'm doing also doesn't help as shorter sets keep the symptoms further at bay. I do the best I can but I get dizzy sometimes so I'm kind of picky about the width of my squat uprights, trying to strike the right balance for me so that I stand a chance of putting the bar back on the rack without harm to myself.
Even more TL;DR
The above-mentioned vertigo diagnosis was confirmed, at the end of those 3 days of tests, by giving my intravenous lasix in the doctor's office - I lost several pounds of weight within a couple of hours, and my symptoms were improved. If memory serves, it was 60 mg of Lasix and I lost about a pound every half-hour. I was given a prescription for lasix, which I filled, only ever took a pill one time, and finally threw away.
The choices the doctors gave me were: 1) lasix as needed; 2) figure out other wasy to retain less fluids; 3) have what would have amounted to brain surgery (or at least skull surgery) to try to fix what the doctors believed was an inner ear fluid leakage. I went with choice #2, and greatly reduced the amount of carbs I was eating, and also learned that I need to rely on visual cues for "balance" more than most people and that was OK with me. Now, 20-ish years later, if I eat a lot of carbs once, it's not too bad, e.g., a slice or two of pizza is OK, but more than that and not cutting way back on carbs soon after will mean I'll start to have symptoms again. It's the kind of thing where I can have pasta as a main course one day but have to make sure I keep carbs very low for another day or two after that. I've used keto sticks just for the heck of it a few times and I seem to wander in and out of mild ketosis pretty freely.
Some people think that vertigo means fear of heights - that is properly called "height vertigo" which I do not have, and I'm fine climbing a high ladder, being on the roof of the house, etc. Otherwise, my balance is not normal but I've learned to live with what I have pretty well.
