I consider myself a drying rack expert, as I have to pay to do laundry and opt to air dry my clothes. This is by far the best drying rack I've had. The footprint is much smaller than other racks, but because of all the rods and levels, it holds so much more. And if you don't use your drying rack often and want to put it away, the arms fold down very easily. It's also very sturdy. I hung up my 25 lbs weighted blanket on it and it didn't bend or break. I am very happy with this purchase!
