It took me less than 10 minutes to assemble this while my toddler was running circles around me. Simple and clear instructional guide was terrific. I bought this to replace an older rack that broke (purchased elsewhere). I can already see that there is a difference in quality. This rack is sturdy, the top bar is thicker and taller than my older one. I love that it's on wheels so that my slightly damp clothes can be wheeled outdoors in a breeze.  I am planning on buying another one for my mom, she mentioned how nice it is on her last visit!
