Whitmor Garment & Drying Rack

Ordered one of these to replace a smaller but similar design of rack that I've had for a long time but which is wearing out. Very pleased. Exactly what I was hoping for.Took about 15 minutes to put together. Tip: When you get to the part where you have one side all screwed in place and are putting the other side on and lining things up, starting from one side start lining up the poles and screw the screw for that pole in just enough to hold it in place. Once you have all of them like that you can maneuver the 4 middle poles that don't have screws into place and then tighten everything up. (I had to loosen a few screws to get the 4 poles in, but easy enough.) Once assembled it is acceptably stable and a good size.When I first got it put together one of the chains had a little kink in it, but I just needed to partially close it and rotate the chain on one side where it connects to the frame to remove the kink. It had gotten flipped around during assembly.

So I read a lot of people's reviews and fortunately all of my holes lined up "enough" and it came with all the screws and washers and mine seemed brand new. As for assembly, it's definitely not that difficult. It just requires some patience and assembly know-how. By that I mean things like don't tighten any screw until all the screws are at least threaded in the holes they're supposed to be in. This gives you some room to move it around in the event that you need to make adjustments before you tighten it.I assembled it in 25 minutes between meetings because the load in the washer was about to be finished. I started by putting one side on the floor with the holes where the rods go facing up. I then took the screw and washer, put them in from underneath, lined up the rods from the top, and turned them onto the screws by hand. Essentially the rods were perpendicular to the floor and pointed straight up/down. The screws were pointing up to the ceiling. This prevents cross threading because anyone can tell you when you are working with metal and screws once you cross thread it's pretty much over and you'll never get that screw in correctly without retapping the hole. I didn't read the directions and i noticed that some of the rods had large holes without screwholes. Those go where the joints are. Get all of your rods screwed in on one side, put your 4 or 5 in the large holes and let it sit upright with all of your rods pointing up in the air. They will flail all over the place that's fine.Now this is where I found in another review that he kept his in the position mine was in and just put the other side in on top. This I found to be the spot that needed the patience since the rods are all flopping all over the place and not playing nice. I ended up just taking it one at a time, starting from the legs closest to me, lining up the rods and screws/washers, and just barely getting the screws in to stop it from flopping but not tightening all the way. I even found that I had to lift the piece I was trying to screw down off enough to get the screw to line up to screw in to prevent cross threading. Once I was able to get all of them in, and yes as I lifted pieces to get other legs in and others fell out, this is where the patience comes in. But just take your time and move from closest to furthest and it should work.Once I got them all lined up I tightened up the screws, stood it up, and tightened all the screws down. I want to note, as someone else did in some review somewhere, that it seems flimsy with those tiny chains being the only thing keeping the weight of everything together, but I will deal with that if/when it breaks.As far as I can tell I love it and it's large and in charge and fits the bill perfectly because our old one was wayyyy too small. I'm excited to try it and will let you know how it goes. Just wanted to share some assembly tips, which hopefully help some other people.

I actually really like this drying rack. It saves space when it is not in use and it is strong. I air dry almost all of my clothes. Mostly athleisure Wear, hoodies, sweatpants, etc. It is secure and holds the weight of all of my wet hoodies and sweat pants. I just wish they made a bigger one, with more capacity.

This folds and tucks away just how we hoped it would. It holds many cloths and works as a drying rack. The cautionary advice: The little round plastic button that you can "push" in to keep the top part from rotating is a piece of junk and it eventually came out. It's not necessary to the assembly, anyways. The thing is 3-point, so use some sense when hanging your clothing articles or it'll tip. The unfolding process is easy but I have not paid attention sometimes and it has pinched a finger. Again, user error on my end but something to be aware of. I would not leave it out with little ones, as it's a tipping hazard. But, it also is cheaper and the plastic will probably last forever. Would recommend, just be smart about using it.

What I like is it dries a fitted queen size sheet without me having to use another drying rack. I love how many clothes it hold. It’s easy to fold up and store.What I didn’t like was it took two of us to put it together. Very difficult. But once it’s done, there’s nothing else to do but fold it and store it when not in use. It’s a tad heavy but still manageable for this old lady.

We have to tie together the pieces. Holds enough clothing but would say it breaks too easily.

This is my second purchase of this product. First one got knocked over and was broken beyond repair. It works great for my family. We use it to dry our good clothes inside the house when the weather is bad. It's tall enough that our dresses don't drag the ground.

I was surprised when I received this item that it was in pieces. Putting it together was a bit of a challenge, when you tried to put the second side on. I definitely needed someone else to help "steady" the poles, so they didn't keep falling apart. While it was not difficult to put together, it was frustrating when it was time to put the second side on (as mentioned above). It seems sturdier than the wooden racks, but not as sturdy as I was anticipating. Hopefully it will last.

Nice and sturdy. Holds a lot of clothes. It would be nicer if there was a way to fold it into something smaller.

I wanted to use it for my husband arabic garments but when I assembled it turns out that it is very short! Not even suitable for my abaya which is only 156cm long.But looks good quality. I an not returning it because i will keep it for shirts and jeans and more shorter stuff

After years of searching for a large laundry dryer this is exactly what we wanted. Easy to assemble (it took me about 15 mins, not at all difficult) we're really happy with the finished product. Recommended.

The media could not be loaded. The quality is very good, worth buying one.I really like it.Thanks

El material se ve que es resistente pero no tanto para dejarlo viviendo de por vida en el sol. Me es muy práctico que la ropa sea colgada en ganchos, ya que esto te facilita después guardarla al closet.El truco para poner la ropa es empezar de afuera hace dentro y cada prenda en cada extremo para que esté equilibrado y no se caiga. Al estar doblado, no ocupa mucho espacio y súper fácil de armar, tiene el mecanismo como de un paraguas así que creo que tardas más en abrir la caja que en colocarlo para su uso.Se me hizo súper práctico, ya que lo coloque en balcón que hay y sin lios se ventila toda la ropa para que se seque.La relación de precio, calidad y uso, creo que es excelente a comparación de otros tendederos más caros que este y que pones la ropa colgada.Sin duda es una recomendable opción si cuentas en tu dpto con una ventilación y/o balcón.
