After unwrapping it i noticed a piece of plastic floating around in the plastic wrap and it ended up being a piece that locks the top bar in place. Not good quality control at black and decker or their third party seller.

Bought for an apt without in unit washer / dryer. Can work with hangers for collared shirts…. It pays for itself in short time vs pumping in quarters or reduced elec bill charges. It will clothe you.

The metal parts are sturdy, but the plastic crossbars at the bottom are a little flimsy. While we dreaded pulling out our old one, this one is a breeze. It's very sturdy and stable.

Holds a ton and folds up nicely. It is still pretty wide when it folds up (approx 1. Inches) i love how thin it is when folded up.

This drying rack is cheap and flimsy. It collapses on itself.

This one deeply bothers me, since it was used sparingly and lasted 4 weeks.
