Bought this for the obvious purpose of drying laundry outside, works great!  Rotates so you can stand in one spot and not have to carry the basket around.

Spins gently in the breeze, easy to raise and lower, arrived with a zippered cover.  The cover is lightweight and not of the most sturdy construction; I've already torn mine in spite of careful handling.  When it wears out completely, I'll probably just use a standard patio umbrella cover.  

All in all, a great buy that is helping to reduce our electric bill.
