Household Essentials X-Frame Clothes Drying Rack, Stabile Wood Frame with Slanted Feet, Smooth Vinyl Wrapped Rods, 23.8 Feet of Hanging Space, Ready to Assemble, Flat Top, Natural

I love this, i was very happy to get it. This is related to a past experience with a similar product which i got at Bed Bath and Beyond a very long time ago, 10 or 15 years--the main difference i can see is that the BB&B one was a little bigger, taller, maybe wider--i haven't seen it in a while, i think i threw it away but wish i didn't. I think it was about 5 or 6 inches taller than this one, and the rods that go across that you hang your stuff on were covered in orange plastic instead of white. It was very very lightweight, the price was low, and it held a lot of laundry. I would still be using it but one day while my daughter's family was staying with me, including their dog and cart, i had laundry drying on that rack in the living room. i was in the next room and i heard a loud crash. Cats love to jump on top of things and perch above the world and looked down at everything, and the cat apparently leaped from the ground to try to land on top of the rack, only to find that it was not a sturdy thing to throw her whole weight onto after sailing through the air. the cat is not a small lightweight cat, and when she landed on top of the rack, it readily collapsed. I came in to find it broken on the floor, one of the wood things that goes across had broken. I didn't want to throw it away, BB&B didn't have them anymore, and i used tape to try to repair the broken bar, but it didn't hold together. i still kept in the garage for a long time. I replaced it with something from BB&B, it was a metal folding one, i guess steel, chrome, i got two of them because they were a lot smaller than the beloved broken rack. They were so heavy and difficult to move around and store, and hard to attach in the upright position. I really hated those racks and got so i just hung things on chairs and tables around the house, keeping the expensive racks in the garage. I looked on Amazon and eBay but could not find anything lightweight. I had loved the lightweightness of the other rack, how easy it was to pick it up and move it around, and to fold it up and put it behind the door on of the laundry room, it really folded up nice and compact, for something so big that held so much laundry. So, i've been living with having to dry a lot of things hanging on doorknobs and things, and recently i checked Amazon again for a rack, and this one sounded similar--i compared the measurements and knew it wasn't quite as big as my previous rack, but other than that, it was the same, the plastic coated bars, the lightweight wood, and pretty wide, with three levels and the extra bars across the top, folded up really flat. Painless price. Prime shipping. I had it in two days. I was so happy to unfold it and put it up and wished i had not just done the laundry a couple of days before, which is what inspired me to shop on line that night. I could see it's the same as the rack i had before, just slightly smaller. I wish i could find one the same size as my other one but i've long since given up on that--not one that is lightweight and not expensive--so i have been very happy with this rack. That day just felt happy all day. I got chocolate stains on a hoodie and on a nightgown, so i hand washed the stains out and then hung them on the rack and they dried well. The rack standing up with laundry on it easily fit in the laundry room, i didn't even have to put it in the living room and when i folded it up, it easily fit behind the door. Before i bought this, i read the low rated reviews and wondered if mine would arrive broken as one person experienced. It didn't. I don't think i'd put a heavy bath towel or anything really heavy on it, but it seems fine for now---it's light, it could easily be broken if a heavy cat jumped on it, but if i handle it careful as i did with its predecessor, i think it's going to last a long time. if not, i'll update my review, but i will also quickly replace it, it's exactly what i need, and i might get an additional one if find a need for it, or if i just want to have a back up. One thing about the previous one i had that i am not sure about, my memory is vague, but i think on the top it opened wider than the lower levels, so that you had some distance from the two bars on the top level that were on the outside to hang pants or long things. i saw a much smaller one of these on the same page as this product where they show similar items, but it's a lot smaller (not as tall) which kind of defeats the purpose. Anyway, my own feelings about this rack are happy and i have no complaints even though clearly it is cheaply made, probably in China, and for the price, that is the realistic expectation, that it would be a very simple and less than sturdy item. Again, it's like my other one and that one lasted years and years. I was gentle with it. It did lose balance if i wasn't careful to make sure the attaching thing was securely on, it would fall if i didn't make sure that thing was attached. It's not the rock of Gibraltar.

As long as my kids don't mess with it it's perfect! Lightweight, easy to fold and put away when not in use. It's not sturdy but it holds a full load of my kids laundry. It was easy to set up and folds into a compact size to store when not in use.

Cheap junk. Super flimsy. I've not even had it a month, maybe used it 6 times just to hang cloth diapers on, and a part of the wood frame completely split apart where there was a knot in it. Not a quality item and certainly not worth the price.

This household drying rack works exactly as expected—it’s sturdy, easy to set up, and does a good job of drying clothes without taking up too much space. It’s great for smaller loads or delicate items. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is that it doesn’t hold as many clothes as I’d hoped. It’s perfect for a few items, but for larger loads, you may need more drying space. If you’re looking for a compact, reliable drying rack for smaller amounts of laundry, this is a solid choice!

This drying rack has been super handy for my laundry setup. It comes fully assembled, so you just unfold it and it’s ready to use. The wooden build feels sturdy and can hold a surprising amount without tipping over. I love that it folds down flat for storage when not in use perfect for small spaces. It’s way better quality than the cheap plastic ones I’ve tried before.

Very flimsy. Barely stands up without anything on it. Returned and purchased the all wood option. Definitely worth paying for the all wood - very sturdy.

Folds small and easy to store. Holds my whole load of clothes.

What I expected feels a little flimsy but they all are in my opinion
