The rack itself is what’s in the picture. Metal poles that assemble together. There are two anti fall straps as well. I took stars off because one of the 9 poles was an inch shorter than the other 8. This halted the entire assembly process. Wayfair responded but it is going to take 22 days just to SHIP the replacement part. I received the item November 6th, it will be useless until December 1st.
