Just bought yesterday and immediately put first load on it- tackled a reasonable load with no trouble. Fits great into space on the patio and no holes needed in new artificial lawn. The holes for the mounting plate needed adjustment from the pattern on the box and one of the end pieces that coat hangers fit into was broken, but both these problems were resolved by my clever husband.  I think opening and closing will need to be done with care so that the lines don’t get tangled, but time will tell!
