This drying rack is a much more efficient use of space than any others I have seen, and it folds when not in use which is a plus. I wanted it mostly for sweaters to lay flat. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it's a little awkward to lay garments on the lower shelves because of the spacing of the shelves, and it came unassembled, and the instructions for assembling were not clear. But I figured it out. It will work well for my intended use.
