first time used on boxing day. With only 3 coats on the rack the support screw in the middle that held the poles together stripped and fell sideways. The nut assembly that the screw fits in is thin and will not support much weight.  Also one of the upper coat hangs was bending. To salvage the item I had to put a threaded rod down the middle from the top to the bottom and secure with a nut and washer on each end. I also put a gear clamp over the top hangers to the pole to make sure the hangers would not bend (weak where the screws to through to fasten to the main pole)
