5.0 out of 5 stars Great function - easy storage

b. · July 22, 2024

I purchased my first one because I was looking for a standing unit on which I could steam my clothes. Once I received it I immediately began to also use it for hanging clothes to dry. My folding rack was only functional for small items. I was hanging shirts and pants from door frames. I then ordered a second one, so I could hang more laundry. And now I just received my 3rd one, so I have a free one to use for steaming. The price point around $20 is reasonable. I consider it a reasonable price for the materials of its construction compared to other products. It is light weight, easily assembled, stable, and then 2 pieces fold and fit back in its box for easy, compact storage. (I cut off 3 sides of box top, taped foam piece to lid for easy removal from box when using) It should hold up well if not overloaded with too much weight or an unbalanced weight load. Depending on weight I've put up to 6 items per bar. It leaves enough room for air flow. Perfect for outdoor drying on a small patio.

I absolutely love this drying rack! It's incredibly convenient and easy to store. It can hold a substantial amount of clothes, and I've even used it to dry a blanket, which worked like a charm. The quality is excellent, and it's just the right size. The height is perfect, and I appreciate that it can be locked in place to prevent any accidental movement, especially when loaded with clothes.

5.0 out of 5 stars UPDATED OCT 2022: Still Working Great!!

Update as of October 21, 2022:The bad reviews aside, this turned out to be a better drying rack than I expected. Very easy to put together and take down, it is tall and large and holds a decent amount of clothes. It is sturdy for the most part, but unlike some reviewers have done, I would never stand this up outside in the wind. This drying rack needs a very flat, very hard surface.Some important tips for using this based on my experience:1. Go slowly and test it as you add clothes to it so that it doesn't get overloaded.2. IMPORTANT: Try to distribute the weight as evenly as you can among the 3 "branches" that the clothes are hung from.3. VERY IMPORTANT: Don't overload it, and hang the heaviest items toward the CENTER, not toward the outer edges. That will help to keep the rack from toppling and will help to prevent the bottom legs from breaking or cracking since they are plastic.4. Unless you really need to, I would not recommend sticking the hangers into the holes on the branches unless they are thin metal hangers. I have found that the holes are small and that plastic hangers were difficult to extract.In the picture I was able to dry 3 long sleeve shirts, 5 t-shirts, a towel, some socks, and a top sheet with no problems. Since then I have used it many more times with towels, sweaters, suit pants and jackets, etc. I'm always careful not to overload and I've not had ONE issue yet.Assembly and disassembly are easy (it is 2 pieces about 3 feet each) and I have kept the box so I can store it away until next time. I originally gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because half of it is plastic and I thought that was sure to cause problems, but for the money spent it is working well so far and I would buy it again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Honestly quite surprised how good it is.

I’ve bought similar things to this in the past and have not been to thrilled. Couple months ago we started doing yard and garden remodeling. I had to temporarily remove the clothes line.I really needed something to hang dry my clothing on. I have lots of dresses and tops I do not dry because it’ll shrink.I looked and looked for a portable clothing rack by passing any that I’ve tried in the past. I really didn’t want to deal with issues I dealt with before.I almost gave up looking cause I couldn’t find one. By chance I clicked on this one and it had a “open box” option which is always lovely. It means I get to save a few bucks! I decided to give it a try since it was cheap.It arrived and I assemble it right away cause I had clothing to hang. Surprisingly, it was so easy to assemble. I did it within minutes. Instructions were easy to read and follow. I pushed down on the arms one by one to check the stability and I must say I’m impressed it was actual stable and not rocking back and forth from leg to leg.The tripod bottom is the right length. Typical the bottom of a stand should be the same length as the upper arms, if not wider. Just like the roots of a tree... it’s what gives the stability.Anyhow, I hung a few dresses, tops and my sons work pants on it. It gave me no issues doing so.There are little holes where you can slide the hook of a hanger in or curved grooves you can hang them on. At the end of each arm there are hook like things to prevent hangers from sliding off. Good timing on the manufacturers part.The plastic is a little hallow feeling. However reliable.I haven’t experienced any trouble with opening or closes. I do Keep it open for the most part, with only closing it when guests come over.It’s so lightweight I don’t need to close it to clean. I just pick it up and move it over.The one thing i Think they can do better is add some grip to the underneath cause the plastic can be pretty slippery on my hardwood floors. Few instances it has slid over from me bumping it a little. Also it would’ve been cool if the arms could rotate so I’m not having to Pick it up and turn it while there is a bunch of clothing on it. That’s just a preference not a defect of the stand. Lastly adjusting the height can be kinda humbug. Not sure how they could help that feature out.Anyway, I am fairly happy with this clothing stand. It has not caused me trouble, it’s holding up. I’ve only been using it little over a month so I can’t speak about long term use. But, I will be sure to update this review if it shall fail on me sooner than it should.Hope this was helpful.
