Whitmor Magnetic Laundry Valet Hanging Rod - White

Totally worth it! The Design Twins hit this one out of the park! I have a newly remodeled laundry room & although small, the drying closet takes up space & this little gadget is very versatile. I have had it attached to both sides of the washer & repositioning it was so easy! The hanger arm can be swung left or right when not in use. The magnet is incredibly strong & holds the garments perfectly for steaming or air drying. So glad i purchased!

With a few tweaks, it is the perfect solution for my needs. Truly does not require any tools and can be assembled by one short person (aka me) in under 20 minutes. It holds all of my hanging clothes, which is quite a lot as I hate folding. The caster wheels make hanging clothes easy as I just pull it out of the closet, then push it back. No more aggravation trying to reach dropped hangers or tangled clothing. This fact alone is why I plan to purchase another for my daughter's room.As others have noted, the instructions, while to me not unclear, are certainly not in the most efficient order. Also, there is not quite enough room for clothing to hang straight between the two hanging bars when assembled as per the picture. I found a work-around for these two issues. I am not associated with the manufacturer and have absolutely no qualifications to ensure you will get the same results I did, though you'd be hard pressed to mess it up. I am notoriously bad with assembling things using lettered parts, so if I can do it, I'm sure you can too. Here's what I did:First separate your poles marked D & E (D's have a small hole in the bottom and screw bolt in the top, E's have a threaded bottom and solid plastic top). Put your wheels in the bottom of the D poles. Stand one pole on the wheel to see it's true height and determine where you want the bottom rack positioned. Put your "sleeves" (Part A) on the D poles where you want the bottom rack to be. The "sleeves" are not difficult to move, but it does require taking them completely off and putting them back on, so you want to try to get it right the first time. Once you have the bottom have assembled, with the bottom rack securely on the D poles, slide on what will be the middle rack (Part K), without regard to where exactly you want it just yet. Place the E poles into the D poles and screw them in tightly.Now, before you put on the top rack or the hanging bars, take out the "hanging bracket rod", (Part H), and note its length. This is what you are supposed to attach the hanging bar to, per the instructions. You will note they're about four inches long. Add that to the top part of your clothes hangers to get an idea as to how much empty space will between the top rack and your clothing. When I put the first hanging rod on per the instructions and hung a shirt, there was a good eight inches lost between the bottom of the top rack and the part of the hanger where the shirt attaches. For me, that was just too much wasted space. So, what I did was to measure the height needed from the bottom rack to the middle hanger so the clothes are hanging straight. Then I put the "sleeves" on the poles to position the middle support bars (Part K). Instead of using the hanging rod (Part H), I screwed the hanging bar directly through the decorative space in the sides of the support bars. By connecting using the space either in the very front or very back, you can achieve a cascading effect. So my middle bar connects through the very front space of the support bars. I then positioned the top rack as high as I could and again, instead of using Part H to secure the hanging bar, I used a set of 2" 90 degree shelving corner brackets I had lying around. You can get them for a couple bucks at any store that has a hardware department. I attached the bar to the brackets and simply laid them flat on the top rack. I was then able to slide my top bar from front to back as needed to determine where I actually wanted the bar to be in relation to the bottom bar. I ultimately chose to attach it to the very back of the top rack so the top clothing hangs behind that of the bottom and I still have usable space on both the bottom and top racks.For the TL;DR crowd: It's a great product for the price and with a little creative thinking, you can manipulate it to meet your needs and keep your clothing hanging straight instead of folding on to the bottom hanger or rack.

One piece is missing from each box ... I bought 3.. it was a wrench used to hold one part. Inconvenient but I improvised. Not heavy duty but reasonably priced. Not as tall as others but still reasonably priced for what I need.

I would give this rack 4 stars just for the wheels alone. I love good wheels. This is my second attempt to write this review due to Amazon's guidance on what shouldn't be in a review. So about this product-- The worst thing about this is the instruction page. Put the wheels on first then put the sleeves that hold up the shelf on the four partial posts. Put the partial posts through the bottom shelf and stand it up on it's wheels. Then you can assemble it while you're standing instead of crawling around on the floor trying to put an unwieldy collection of long posts and parts together. The only improvement it needs is maybe a little height. The tops of the top sections of the posts do not have threads in them. So adding extra length onto the tops of the posts is not the way to go. (It can be done but you have to buy parts that tap down and it's harder to do.) You can buy 12 inch or 18 inch extension posts to add to the middle, between the two sections of the posts. The extensions usually come with the double ended screw connectors that you need. And I searched the internet until I found the perfect place to buy the extensions. If you search on the words wire+shelf+additions you may find it. This is the only information I can give you because it breaks Amazon's rules if I tell you the name of the company that provides this help. This is what I bought from them in the black finish- 1" Wire Shelving Post Extension - 12" Long - 4 Pack - 1.2mm Thickness 4EP1PB-12 (Maybe you can search on that.) The thickness refers to the wall of metal that makes the poles and this is what works with this garment rack and other 1 inch Whitmor poles. (You can also find extensions for 3/4 inch poles.) I love the taller rack because it takes the usability from a really good product for what I need to just perfect. This is already a really good product. Just the wheels for this on Amazon are about $23. I judge this type of product by its wheels or feet. No matter how great the rest of a product is if the feet aren't right you have trouble.
