IT SAVED ME THE AGONY OF ASSEMBLY AND IT WORKS FOR ME.
I bought this household essentials 6524 clothes drying rack, bamboo, WAY BACK IN 2011. STILL USING because it was preassembled. I am a klutz, and always have problems trying to assemble stuff. I read some of the reviews that noted it seemed flimsy.
Despite this I had to have this product. Yes, it does wobble a bit, and does not seem too sturdy, but I have hung soaking wet wash on all the rungs many times since purchase, and it is still standing. I have put dripping wet whites on it and color from the product did not rub off on them. It is mercifully easy to use and will fit inside a standard bath tub. I handle it carefully, making sure it is not slanted to ensure stability. I ponder if I had bleached my whites if that would have affected the color of the product coming off on the whites. I will up date this should I bleach my whites, and report any problems with color rub off.
I bought bamboo, because previous drying racks were made of metal and they all either rusted or stained my clothing over time. Update: My whites were too dingy and I had to wash them with bleach. I hung the dripping wet whites over the rungs of the dryer, and wondered if they would be stained after drying. They dried without a stain of any kind. Some have noted stains on their clothes, but I have not seen this problem. The wood of this product is just natural and rubbed to a smooth natural shine. I appreciate not having to bother to wring things out, and just hang them to drip dry. It opens and closes without any problem. It is obviously more sturdy then it looks, and I hope to keep it for a long time. It folds up easily and compact-easy to store.
Update, here it is a year later, and the product is still as good as new. I have put lots of dripping wet clothes on it to the full, many a time, and the thing just keeps working. It was money well spent, and the product has not worn out, dried out, or fallen apart in any way. It was money well spent, and I hope to keep using the product for a long time to come.
