Tools and Hardware Reviews of Whitney Design 05111 RTA Folding Wood Clothes Drying Rack
Customer Review: A Surprisingly Crappy Piece O'Crap. Very Low Quality.
Summary: 1 Stars
I have had & used these before. They've ranged from cheap to expensive. This one is in the upper-mid price range.
It is at the very bottom in quality.
"Coated Rods", the description says. It doesn't mention that the rest of it (the "X-Frames") is made of thin, light, extremely cheap wood. So cheap that it obviously broke when they inserted the (also cheap & flimsy!) "slotted snap locks". You can see where they glued it back together.
The holes are not properly aligned, which made it difficult to get all of the rods completely inserted at once.
One of the wooden slats is thicker than the others. Who cares? Well, because the wood is too thick, the plastic snap-locks they inserted in the holes cannot go all the way through properly, which means the plastic 'lip' won't go over the edge of the hole and lock in place. Therefore, when you try to insert the rod, it just pushes the lock out the other side.
The thing only "locks" in the tallest position, so you can't set it lower for wider-spread drying. To be fair, some of these are flexible in this area and others are not.
It is so flimsy that it's unstable; more so when you hang things on it.
Crappy quality and workmanship aside, the instructions are very simple. The pieces are color-coded and almost anyone should be able to figure out how to put it together, unless their pieces are as badly made as mine. There is no customer service number.
Description of Whitney Design 05111 RTA Folding Wood Clothes Drying Rack
Ready to assemble wood clothes dryerA lightweight and collapsible drying solution, this rack from The Clothes Line features coated hardwood dowels and simple tool-free construction. The rack is suited for wet gear, winter items, swimwear, and delicates that are unsafe in the dryer. Its numerous rods total 27 feet of drying space, and the top rack lets you dry items flat if need be. With their hardwood centers and stout plastic coating, the hanging dowels are durable and do not snag clothing. Simple assembly is required with this unit, but clever color-coding lets you see at a glance how to put it together. Between uses, it folds flat for storage. Fully expanded, it measures 42-1/4 by 29-1/2 by 14-1/2 inches. --Emily Bedard
