Rackaphile Expandable Outdoor Clothes Airer Multifunctional Star-Shaped Laundry Drying Rack, Folding Indoor Drying Rack Shoe Rack Plant Stand,10X Drying Space, Perfect for Small Spaces, Purple

This stand while looks fancy and does the job for me most of the time as a drying rack, leaves much to be desired in terms of its durability. Once assembled, it doesn't have proper alignments in all the places to have to force some of the bits in place.If you try to move it around, there's a bright chance that it'll come undone at the bottom so you can't exactly move it around. I've yet to manage to "fold" it. I can disassemble some of it and maybe it'll be willing to fold after that but it certainly isn't as easy as pick it up and fold it away and then just spring it back up when you want clothes to dry up.I expected rods to be stainless steel but they're thin aluminium rods and the whole strength in them is based on you not applying enough pressure to get the tube to bend. I could have done this same thing in less fancy stand for quarter of a price.Disappointed overall. Once this runs its course, I'll just go back to disposable racks which actually work out cheaper in long term than something like this for the same overall expense.

With my lads being teenagers they seem to wear 10 sets of clothes a day and my hatred for the wash pile means that now it's winter time I have a living room full of airers which drives my wife mad so much so that we got a tumble dryer. But after shrinking most of the clothes I gave in with it and went to being hated by my wife with the airers back out.Feeling my wife's pain my youngest saw this airer on amazon and told me it might else my wife's suffering.It arrived and me and my son instantly and I can add easily put it together and now although my wife still has to see an airer up its design allows me to dry more clothes in a smaller area and I have to say with its design it allows the now warm room filled radiator heat to easily pass between each item of clothing so at least they dry quickly. I can say it's a great airer and I was even able to lay a rug over the top of the airer which was handy.

Whilst the internal poles were easy to attach, many of the plastic side pieces were already loose or not attached at all when this arrived and there are no instructions for the assembly/fixing of the sides. My item was therefore in around ten sections and I had to try and replicate the pattern on the smaller sections and on the pictures. After painstakingly doing this the whole thing completely fell apart again when I tried to open it. The connections on the outer part are not deep enough to hold the sections together to allow expansion. It's a shame as I thought this might make laundry drying look less ugly but it turned into a time consuming battle and ended up with me ordering a returns label!

I use mine as a clothes dryer. It is easy to roll when empty or carry but easier to roll. Looks funky and holds quite a bit . It it not very high approx one meter.. When in use stack and stack clothes equally as it will roll. When assembled it does not stack away, we always have washing so no problem .

Instructions not at all helpful.

When it arrived I was slightly disappointed to find that the frame was all one colour, blue, as I expected it to be at least blue and black, if not containing bit of red, as per the photos. The second thing that I noticed, was the instructions said the maximum capacity was 10kg, while the description on Amazon stated 20kg. It was a bit of a faff to assemble as the instructions were next to useless, but it was easy enough once I figured it out. The connections popped out of place several times while assembling, and it doesn't seem possible to fold it down and unfold it without the connections popping out. Once put together it seemed sturdy enough and I was quite happy with how it looked, but with light use the connections need fitting back into place on a regular basis. The crossbeams are shorter than most airers and you will not be able to spread out larger T-shirts flat across them. My partner has sworn at it several times and is threatening to take it to the tip.

There's really not much positive that I can say about this rack, except that it's a bit like a Monet - it looks great from a distance, but is seriously complex up close. The rack is just cheaply made and unstable. It does not hold together under the weight of a moderate amount of clothes. It also has a tendency to roll. Sure there is technically lots of hanging space, but much of it is unusable as it's on, or too close to, the floor.

Complete waste of money falls apart when in use even with the lightest of items on it
