I LOVE THIS
I absolutely love this product. I air dry a lot of my clothes. It has lots of space so that I can actually fit all my air dry clothes on it. This is the first rack that actually got the job done! I love it!

Too expensive for the size
This drying rack is a great idea for someone who wants to save electricity by not using their dryer, but it makes sense only if you have a gift card like I did because it's very expensive considering it holds just 1/2 a load of laundry.
However, it's sturdy and won't blow over in the wind when I use it to dry heavy things like towels and jeans. In fact, towels and jeans don't require clothespins using this rack. It would fit in my bathtub, too, if the weather didn't cooperate on laundry day.

inaccurate product description
This product is not made in Germany as stated in the product description. It is made in China. The company is German--Leifheit. The height of the rack is only 30 inches at the flattest point, not 36 inches. Perhaps the ends that flare upwards are at the 36 inch mark. At the LeifheitUSA website, the height dimension is stated to be 29.5 inches.
Suffice it say, the area that is widest that would accommodate a man-sized t-shirt is too low and the area of the highest point is too narrow to accommodate even a woman's t-shirt. The drying rack also tips easily when there is any wind since it is so narrow. It otherwise seems to be well-made and folds up nicely and doesn't take up much space when completely unfolded. It is too small for hanging a whole load of laundry, but nice for diapers and kids' clothing.
I would love to be able to return it, but mailing it in its original packaging would be prohibitively expensive as the box is 47x24x6 inches. I only wish that I had known the company that made this product as their description is more accurate and other models might have been a better choice for meeting my needs.
I am glad that I found this rack here as now I am aware of what is available and can make a more informed decision in the future. I have been looking for this style of rack for a very long time and no one seems to carry it, so I was very excited to see it at C&B. This rack would be perfect if it was a little taller at its lowest point and not so narrow. Perhaps C&B would consider carrying more racks of this style but bigger in the future. I certainly would consider purchasing it.
