It's very easy to collapse and put away when I'm not using it.  Very good quality, and attractive looking.  I put a heavy wet blanket on it, out of the washer, and one of the joints snapped off.  But I think I should have known the blanket was way too heavy.  I'm actually going to order another one.  My husband fixed the broken one but it doesn't collapse anymore.  I'm going to use that one elsewhere and get another for my laundry room.
