AERO W Racks Stainless Steel Wall Mounted Collapsible Laundry Clothes Drying Rack 60 Pound Capacity 22.5 Linear Ft

I bought two of these and mounted them in our shower. I use the upper rack mostly for shirts on hangers, and the lower rack for jeans and other pairs of pants. Sweatshirts and jeans when wet are quite heavy, yet the racks have no trouble with them. There is some bending of the rods from the weight, but that disappears as the clothes dry and the racks quickly return to their original shape. More importantly, the scissor frame doesn't deform from the weight. The bronze finish is a beautiful anodized aluminum that complements the champaign bronze finish of our bathroom fixtures, although it doesn't match them exactly.There are a few things I would note about this laundry rack. Although it costs a bit more than competing products, it's significantly larger than most, which are not as wide, nor do they extend as far. The frame is made of aluminum rather than stainless steel, making the rack very light-weight and much easier to install and manage. The scissor frame components are hollow as opposed to the solid stainless steel used in competing products, which again makes it lighter and sturdier. However, there are plastic caps on the ends of the framework, top and bottom, which may not be as durable in the end. I'm also a bit concerned that moisture could condense inside the framework, leading to mold that wouldn't be evident except through disassembly. I'll be monitoring for that. A small hole drilled in the bottom cap might be a way to eliminate the possibility.The mounting brackets are also anodized aluminum and attractive, but there are sharp edges, so one needs to be careful when mounting them to a wall. I did not use them in any case, as I didn't want to drill holes in my glass tile. Instead, since I already had grab bars mounted at exactly the same width as the racks, I mounted the drying racks to the grab bars using aluminum extrusion rails, which worked perfectly.

I mounted two racks, one in the 60 lb/32” size and the other in the 40 lb/26” size. I have been struggling with a fold up rack in the bathtub for 20 years, as my laundry room is a pass through from the garage with no floor or wall space. The racks look great and will hold a lot; they are out of the way when folded. My bathroom looks much less cluttered. As for installation, the instructions are both inadequate and incorrect. (The large rack was much easier to hang than the small one, and the instructions were slightly better too; but still wrong.) However, I put the racks up in a short time, using the provided toggles. In my opinion, wall mounting hardware is always the worst part of a project, and subject to many failures such as wrong size holes, parts falling in the wall, broken parts, etc. as people have noted. (I’m writing this review as a thank you/pass on for the many reviews that alerted me to the installation details.) But maybe it’s not realistic for accessory companies to provide us with a complete education on hanging hardware. If you are not very familiar with toggles, plastic wall anchors, etc. I suggest you visit your local friendly hardware store and ask them to show you some more homeowner-friendly hardware (I have personally had nothing but good experiences with the screw-in kind that don’t require any drilling). And ask them to walk you through exactly how to install the mounts and your rack. Also, as people have said, the wall brackets are extremely sharp; don’t grab them while you’re screwing your toggles/anchors in. Grab the rods.

I did a lot research for this item since I was shipping down to Central America and it couldn't returned. Key factors that make this item work:-retractable/space saving-easy to install-not too flimsy, yet lightweight since it would need to easily retract & extendI'm happy to report that after 3 weeks of using it I'm completely happy with it. It has more than enough space to hang clothes and I really like that I can fold it back into itself and regain valuable real estate!

I bought this rack months ago but I hadn't written a review because I wanted to really use it and find any flaws before doing so, but I an super happy and satisfied with it and I use it more every day. I live in Florida and humidity is a hassle, so drying wet towels after the pool or mattress covers that don't go in the dryer takes some imagination, or the right product!. Way back when I used a wall mounted hook rack to hang damp towels but they never fully dried and always ended up smelling of mold (phe-ew!). I then upgraded to a foldable rack from Target that I could also use to dry mattress covers and cotton table cloths (large stuff that doesn't tumble dry) but it took up too much floor space in the garage or patio, and the items would hand and drag on the floor while drying. I hated this!So I found this one online, read some reviews and decided to give it a try.I hung it in the laundry area, above head level, so when it's not in use I simply push it back and you don't even notice it there. I use it mostly for pool towels; it's sturdy and continues to hold 5-6 damp towels at a time, a few times a week, without budging or without hanging.I also use it to dry the mattress covers and cotton table cloths and I love that they don't drag! And I started using it to hang my clothes while I steam iron them: the rack can stand my tugging and pulling.I plan on getting a second one for the main bath in the house to dry our shower towels daily, that;s how much I like it.It was a great buy and definitely worth its price.
