Bought in 2007and finaly broke year 2026
I was just about to buy another one of these drying racks because mine finally broke after 18yrs. 3 kids and a family of 5. Yes the white paint does come off the wood but it’s not like it and your clothes fall on the floor and you just have to sweep it up. What broke was the line on the top the rack and that’s where them hooks on each side hook to is the top rack to keep this stable and hold . I’m still using it while I wait for a new one. No lie I bought the rack in 2007 when we bought our first Home and it just broke this year 2026. almost 20 years. I would say I got my money’s worth or maybe it was just built better 20 years ago; who knows? Thanks for reading

Weak and falling apart parts
One of the nail that holds the pieces together started falling off after 6 months. No matter what I did, the nail wouldn't stay. Finally the white, round sticks started coming off and I had to throw the rack. It was expensive and did not last a year!

Bad
It broke the first time I used. Items I put on were way below weight limit and it still broke.

I've used this rack twice so far and find it to be quite sturdy. It is very large and holds a lot. My only concern is that it is a bit cumbersome to fold away.

Knot a good deal
I received it yesterday, kudos for fast shipping. I bought it to replace my old wood drying rack which had finally broken after many years of use. I set it up and put one (1) slightly damp towel and one (1) slightly damp washrag on it and it immediately broke and collapsed. It turns out that one of the side slats had a large knot running through it right next to the hole for one of the hanging rods was drilled, and naturally it couldn't take any strain. Very shoddy quality control!

This was exactly what my daughter wanted. I found several other items similar but all at a higher price. This was affordable and the exact item she wanted.

I should have listened to the bad reviews...
I wish I could give this item zero stars. I ordered two. One arrived missing a leg and the other arrived with a broken rail. It was not a shipping issue as the box arrived intact. Do not bother ordering.

Horizontal rod broke on first use, a replacement from Target would make me feel better about company.
One of the horizontal rods broke the first time I used this dryer. I will not spend the money to buy a replacement. As a matter of fact, I think Target should either refund my card or send me a replacement dryer. At least I would then feel better about Target's customer service and continue shopping at Target.

Hi Jazzysusan. I am sorry to hear you are disappointed. If you would like a replacement product, and you have your dated receipt, we can help you at Household Essentials. Please call us at 1-800-922-5524. However, for a refund, you'll need to contact Target's customer service directly. Reviews do a great job of sharing your thoughts with other purchasers, but they are not always the best way to get in touch with a retailer or manufacturer for specific concerns.

nope!
I had this shipped to my house and it came broken. I would not reccomend this product it as the ones I've purchased in-store at Target are higher quality than this piece.

works
I was really excited about purchasing this to dry our whites and baby clothing indoors, but a piece of it broke almost right away. I was pretty bummed about it but we never returned it. We still use it, we just have to manually place the piece together, but it does still work. We use it often.

Wooden dowels of poor quality
The rack arrived broken. The painted dowels are seconds, mashed and dented but perfectly disguised or covered by the paint. It also took quite awhile to arrive. Luckily this item can be returned to the store.

Functional rack
Easy to set up. Compared to another wooden rack we had for 3 years this one feels less sturdy and we intend to be gentle with it.
1 reply from HE Product Expert team - 10 years ago
Hi None. I'm glad it was easy to set up for you. For a rack with a sturdier feel, you might try the bamboo drying rack. It's got similar function with a heavier rod. Please let us know how it goes with your drying rack at Household Essentials 1-800-922-5524!

Not being used for clothing
The rack is a bit flimsy and not made very well. We did not purchase it to put clothing on it and it wouldn't be good for clothing because it doesn't have enough support. We make our own pasta and it is a good rack to hang pasta on to dry and that is why I bought this one. A metal rack wouldn't have worked. So don't go by my opinion, but I did notice when we opened it that it was very unsteady. Not worth the price.

Love it!!!
I saw some positive and negative reviews on this but I have nothing but good things to say! It's very sturdy and holds a lot. I basically use it for drying cloth diapers but have had my guests use it for towels. It is solid. Love that it's wood!

HUGE!!!
A couple of reviews said they thought the construction was pretty flimsy. I've found it to be a pretty sturdy old-fashioned wood drying rack and exactly what I was expecting. There is a metal bolt on the bottom rung to reinforce the weight of wet clothes, so it's even sturdier than I expected. I currently have a smaller dryer rack, and from what I can tell, the smaller dryer rack is now the standard size, but this drying rack dwarfs the competition. It is wide enough to hold full size towels or two shirts on the same rung. This is your mom or grandma's drying rack that you remember!

wooden clothes dryer
This is a very well made, large clothes dryer. It fits on my deck and helps dry clothes with that fresh air smell. It is made so that it will not collapse. Really great purcase.

Seems a bit too flimsy to hold many towels
So far so good, but it doesn't seem as rugged as I was hoping. I haven't loaded to many items onto it at once, for fear it will collapse! It does offer enough rungs to hold many garments, but I'd recommend not putting very heavy garments on it right away.
