We really wanted a hanging drying rack that would disappear when not in use. While the assembly directions are not perfect (you have to be careful to connect an inside stem to an outside stem on the crossbars), they weren't bad by industry standards. I had purchased two and I was able to assemble the second unit in under 5 minutes. It takes just a couple of seconds to fold the unit and they store against the wall in a corner. While these lightweight units will not take abuse (just a guess, I'm not going to do the gorilla test on mine), every piece was in perfect condition and assembly tolerances are just right. They are certainly sturdy enough to hang a dozen wet shirts.
