Garment Racks (Commercial, Orange)

I wanted a nice long clothes rack for my laundry area in the basement. I didn't want anything flimsy so after reading a significant number of reviews, I settled on this rack.PROS:o *VERY* heavy duty.o Nice big casters; two that can be locked to prevent rolling.o Can accommodate two hanging bars (optional lower bar below upper bar).o Not very difficult to assemble (however see comments below).CONS:o No variable height adjustment (not an issue for me).o Included tools did not properly fit included fasteners.The company delivered it very promptly. It is a *very* sturdy rack, I will never tax it at all hanging pants and shirts on it. I'd be willing to bet you could load this up with whatever you wanted to throw at it, and you would run out of hanging space long before it would show any sign of stress. I could do chin ups on this thing. (Well, if I *could* do chin ups LOL ). It *is* large, especially with the 12" height extension tubes which make it 6 feet 9 inches high. I only added them because I got the optional second bar from which to hang things, and I wanted the extra height so the lower bar has more room above the floor. The Z shape is a bit different looking but I didn't buy it for aesthetics, I wanted function and durability. The assembly instructions are, as others mentioned, of practically no use... but if you have even a modicum of mechanical ability, just look at the picture on the Amazon web page and you can figure out how the two ends and the Z crossbar bolt together, and how wheels bolt on, and that's pretty much all you need to know. The supplied Allen wrench did not properly fit the Allen screws provided, and the wrench did not properly fit the nuts to bolt on the wheels, so I did have to resort to my own tools for assembly, which some would not have on hand and this would probably cause them inconvenience and annoyance. But overall, given that this thing is built like a tank and will definitely outlast me, I am *very* pleased with it. Matter of fact, I just ordered two for my sister for her birthday, which is a pretty good endorsement!!!

When I bought this it's listed price was a bit under $30 and with the shipping it came in just under $70, but even with all that it's well worth the money. Went together in a total of I think half an hour with a minimal amount of fuss (mostly me fiddling to get the nuts to start threading on the bolts due to clumsy-numb fingers) The center of the Z goes on first, then the wheels, then you put in the long upright bars, clamp on the secondary cross beam wherever you like (I have it near the bottom to hold my empty hangars and smaller stuff) and then you choose whether or not to put on the extra foot long extensions to the upright bar (without them, it can roll through my doorway, with them it can't) and then you pop on the upper cross beam that is well over my head. (I'm 5'6") I had three smaller garment racks that were very flimsy and kept falling over on me, this one rack holds everything that was on the others with room to spare, hasn't even so much as threatened to tip on me, and still rolls easy as pie. I can very well believe the weight limit it lists as it is VERY solidly built with the pipe ends nesting into each other for at least several inches, and twice as much at the base of the thing. The only complaint I have is that the nuts for the cross beam require you to have your own adjustable wrench as they don't match the other nuts included in the kit for putting the base together because they're a size or two smaller. I can also tell it will be just as easy to take it apart again later if I ever have to move again.

My clothes have outgrown all my tiny closets; my books have outgrown my wall space.I have resorted to a storage space, as a library/closet annex, and this rack is why it's going to work.Not only does this rack hold the 400 pounds of clothes it's rated for, it holds them WHILE IT'S MOVING.I put this thing together on the tailgate of my pickup at the storage place--just in case it didn't work, and I had to take all the clothes back home. It went together in about 10 minutes time--the tools I got were the right size--and then I loaded it up with a pickup bed full of clothes before rolling it across the parking lot, into the elevator and up to the unit I rented--a trip of about 500 yards, all together.The wheels worked smoothly across the pavement, didn't catch at any of the jambs--not even across the elevator threshold. It maneuvered perfectly around the corners--thE Z-design is unbelievably stable and pivots much more tightly than I thought it would. It didn't even THREATEN to tip over--it just went where I pulled it, without a single problem. It's actually much easier to manage than the rolling carts the company provides for tenants to move things around on. And best of all, the locking casters kept this thing right where I put it, even though I was moving boxes of books and other things all around it!Changing out my closet is going to be as easy as putting my out of season clothes in the truck, going to the storage space, rolling this thing up to the parking lot, and taking one set off clothes off this rack while I put the others on, and then rolling it up to the space I've rented.I'm thinking I need another one of these, to hang purses and shoes on. This is awesome!
