Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My husband bought this on his Amazon account, so it was a Verified Purchase. At first, I loved this rack, it folded opened so easily and snapped together quickly. It stored flat enough to fit neatly in the gap beside our washer. I would've given this thing 5 stars if it lasted. Over the course of 1 year, we've draped various things on this rack such as a small wool blanket, a winter coat with gloves, bath mats and light "air dry only" shirts (not all at the same time). The heaviest pieces were always draped across the top portion, never on individual bars on the sides. Yet all three aluminum rods on one side of the rack have become bent over time, especially the bottom bar which we've never hung anything on. In the photo you can see how bent the bottom rod is, while the top rod has popped out of its socket. I've tried popping the top rod back in while the middle and bottom rod popped out, and as I tried to get those in, the ones I just popped in would pop out like some kind of comedy routine. So this is going to end up on the curb while I search for a rack that actually functions for more than a year. My advice is to get a sturdier rack if you plan on using it for drying wet things like winter coats, clothing, blankets or bathroom mats.
