Side by Side Comparison of: Deco Brothers vs Household Essentials vs Home-it vs MetroDecor vs MAYTEX

This holds darks, whites, and dry cleaning! It's well made and very easy to assemble. I didn't have to use the directions, always a plus. Looks great and have had company ask where they could buy and have sent the Info to them as well. I labeled mine so others in the family would know where to place their clothes. It has helped teach my 8 year old where to put his dirty laundry.

Great product!Very sturdy skeleton. A little assembly required, but the directions were easy to follow.The canvas bags look much nicer than some of the cheaper polyester versions. They were a little wrinkly at first, but have smoothed over time. I love that they come with the handles on the bags. One bag's worth of clothes fits in my washer perfectly.

This item is a GREAT VALUE. The price for the quality cannot be best. Item works exactly as described and the cloth used to hold the sorted clothes is strong. Initially, I was concerned that cloth would carry the dirty clothes scent (we have two boy) but thankfully it doesn't. GREAT item

We were very impressed with the quality of the product. Past laundry sorters had the bags falling all the time but not now! Easy to assemble, it was together in 15 minutes. My wife loves it and no more dreads the task! The wheels are nice and strong and so smooth. It's really sturdy and very classy looking! A great purchase!

I love this cart. Very sturdy, good size and I love the way I can sort my laundry. Makes doing the laundry so much easier. Being able to carry each bag individually is very convenient and they are well made.

They look great are heavy duty and well made. Took my husband 20 minutes to put together the first one then 10 for the second one.

Purchased my first drying rack nearly 8 years ago. Use it weekly and it's still in excellent condition. Attractive. Durable. Holds a lot of items. Purchased another so I can dry all of my wash at once. Love this product!

Very please with this rack. Its sturdy and a good size. I just wish it was a couple inches taller because as another reviewer mentioned if you hang some items on a hanger they touch the ground but not a big issue for me.

These are the best little clothes bars I've seen. I've had the huge wooden sets and the smaller wobbly ones. These fit my needs now perfectly. I have a great dryer so don't need these often but for lingerie items or delicate fabrics I want to air dry this set will work beautifully. They will stand partially opened and not take up a lot of space if just a few items need to be dried. They expand both directions if you have larger and/or many items. The bars are spaced better than others so the air flow is better. I've had some which were too close and air couldn't circulate to the center and those items would still be damp or wet when outside ones were dry. I've been looking for a smaller set of clothes bars and am glad I waited rather than settling for a different model I was looking at. If I needed larger ones, I'd probably buy two sets of these over a larger set, spend less or the same amount of money and they'd take up less room for storage!

I purchased this item last year and LOVE it. It is lightweight and very easy to set up and to put away. I am handicapped and have to use a walker, yet I can lift this with one hand and expand it. When putting it away, I can fold it up and store it behind a tall dresser in my bedroom. I live in an apartment and do no have a washer and dryer so I use this dryer a lot. I do have someone who does most of my laundry but I like to hand wash items that may shrink or that I use most often. I would highly recommend this dryer.

It's perfect for keeping small laundries at home. Normally I'd have some delicate clothes sun dried every week. Sometimes I hang them, sometimes put then on the drying net. Be aware that the drying net is not very strong. I wouldn't place something too heavy like wet sweaters on it. Maybe it'll hold one. That's top capacity.There're 9 rods for airing clothes, which seems plenty enough, yet I don't really like to use the bottom rods. I think it would work when everything I want to air is small things. That way nothing will be blocked and gets enough sunshine. My reality is that I often air dry some of my hubby's shirts with other delicate clothes. So bottom rods don't really get enough exposure to the sun and air around them doesn't circulate too much. So for most of times I use top rods.Another thing like I like about it is that it's easily portable. So when I'm not air drying clothes, I put it in the bathroom for bath towels. While when I need it for air drying, I'd move it to the sun room.I've using it over 3 months now. So far so good. I think this is sturdy enough for the purposes that I listed. I remember it did need assembles which is easy, so no worry about that.

I got one of these drying racks several months ago and I liked it so much that I bought another one. My building's dryers weren't really getting my clothes dry, so I've been using these drying racks instead.Each rack is pretty big to begin with when it's set up. There are a lot of rods to hang clothes off of and make the most of the space, and a nice mesh piece on top to lay out small or delicate clothes that shouldn't hang. Additionally, the rack can be extended to about twice the normal width for even more drying space, although I'm a little hesitant to try that with my heavy clothes.And since the rack is made of metal with a nice finish on it, I don't have to worry about anything tearing my clothes or having a bad reaction to being wet while the clothes dry (I didn't like the idea of a wooden drying rack because I was worried that water would soak into the wood and damage it, so I went with metal instead and I'm glad I did).Overall the drying racks have done their job very well and I'm very happy with them.

Got this for brooms etc to store in my laundry room. Needed to save some space once we got larger washer and dryers. This was easy to put up, my hubby was done in about 15min. We had all our parts You have to stack things correctly so your broom and mop bottoms don't interfere with each other. You need a little muscle to push the broom in, but it means that it does not move. No sliding or slipping. My mom doesn't like that she has to snap it in there that hard (she is older) but it does not bother us. I either alternate- some up some down- or you have to alternate the heights. The hooks are ok, but the way we have them its hard to hook things (or dryer blocks it) so we use them to hook our Swiffer because it has a curved handle.

I have a small apartment and the broom closet was always a mess with the brooms hitting me in the face whenever I took the trash out. This saved me so much stress! The slots have little rollers and they move to fit just about any size mop or broom. There are also little hooks that can drop down if you want to hold towels or the dust pan, which is what I use it for. This is a must-have organizational tool!

Used it to mount my lightsabers and it worked perfectly

The picture is accurate. You can easily hold 5 items that have a long handle (thing a mop or broom) if you do what the picture says (some items have the handle pointing up, others need to go the opposite direction). The unit itself is made of plastic and is not particularly heavy. However, it comes with 6 mounting screws as well as the drywall plastic thing (meaning you don't have to mount it into a stud). For mine, four of my screws were used with the drywall thing while I coincidentally hit a stud for the other two (the screws go in pairs one over top of the other). It took me 10 minutes to install. I drilled pilot holes so as not to mess up my drywall. This product is as advertised.

Finally, my brooms, mops, dust pan, and swiffer are organized!Appearance:-The color is a bit drab - between a biege and a grey, but it looks just fine.Quality:-The product is a very solid plastic which should hold up for many years.-It included 2 extra rubber replacement pieces for the holders in case they wear out (which I doubt will happen before we end up losing them).Installation:-There are 3 screw holes.-The package includes the screws and drywall mounts.-Make sure you mount it right sided up or else it won't hold the mops and brooms.-Using a level to make sure it's straight is probably good, but not necessary.-Takes about 10 mins to install.Use:-I was able to hang a swiffer broom, a regular broom, and two mops on the holder without any issue.-There are 2 hooks which pull out from the front. I hung a dust pan and broom on those hooks.This product works great to store mops and brooms. I would recommend it.

First time I have had our brooms & mops organized for years. Much better that others I have tried. Was impressed with the quality of the product.

The only annoying problem I found with this is the same with others who posted pictures-- the cart tilts. I thought maybe I didn't tighten the screws enough so I re-tightened everything. It'll be fine for a while before it tilts again! It doesn't come apart but if it tilts it means something is loose and I don't want it to come apart when I'm pushing it half way down the hall... I do push the cart from my apartment to the laundry room in my building. It's not a long walk and doesn't include any rough surface.However, all the parts on the cart feel very sturdy and good quality. Even if it tilts, it never came apart. I really do enjoy using it when it's not tilting and hope it stays that way forever, but unfortunately I have tighten the screws every time I do laundry.

Overall, this is a very good product, the quality is good, and it does a good job in its intended role.PROS:1. The canvas hamper bags are strong and well constructed.2. The assembly was reasonably easy, but pay close attention to the various parts and how they are used.3. The casters are optional, but appear sturdy and well constructed.4. The metal parts are well finished and fit together well.CONS:1. Once constructed, the cart doesn't seem very sturdy - it wobbles from side to side regardless of how much you tighten the screws. Over time, I feel that this will cause the screws to loosen and perhaps damage the framework tubing. There should be some diagonal bracing to reduce this problem.2. The bag handles are very finicky to insert into the bags. They work well to carry the bags, but as soon as you set the bags down, the handles twist and become misaligned with the bags. The handles are designed with open loops on each end that go over the top tube of the framework and allow the bags to hang from the framework. Of the six handles in the kit, only one fit properly on first attempt. The rest had to be manually adjusted (bent) to fit. Then, when I tried shifting positions of the bags, they again didn't fit properly. This is not a show stopper, but it is annoying.Overall, this is a good product that has some "opportunities for improvement."

I like most everything about this laundry sorter, except, like other reviews have mentioned, it gets a bit wobbly and I have to keep tightening the connections. Once I do that, it seems to stiffen up and work fine, but then after a few days to a week, or so, it starts wobbling out again! This is the reason for the 1 star deduction, but overall I really like this sorter. I like the convenience of the rollers (which are very smooth and sturdy) for those "BIG" laundry days, and the handles on each bag are convenient for throwing in one load when needed. Just grab the bag, toss it in and hook the bag back on the cart. The bags do hold 1+ load of laundry each, so they are quite big. The big draw for me was the streamlined look and color-scheme, both of which are accurately depicted in the pictures, so I was happy it matched. Setting the sorter up was very easy and took me about 45 mins - 1hr to build (but I'm a girl, and had to thoroughly go over the directions); others may be able to put together faster. If you are looking for a functional sorter that looks great, I would highly suggest this purchase. Just make sure you keep the tool to tighten the bolts handy! ;)

This was easy to put together, rolls nicely from my closet to my laundry room (alternatively, each piece lifts out easily with the handles to be carried to the laundry room separately), and will definitely help my 4 kids learn to sort their clothes! My sole complaint is that I would've actually loved something a bit bigger (this fills up in 3-4 days), but I suppose there's not a huge demand for giant laundry sorters. This was worth every penny for me.Now if only those kids would learn to turn their clothes right-side out before they hit the wash...

Pros:Good sturdy construction. Steel with canvas/cloth bags.Support steel bars underneath bags if bags are flooded with too many clothes(happens often for me)Metal bars are put through a majority of the cloth bags so that they are hanging(increase support in my opinion)Cons:Very tall with wheels. I believe in most "small" closets, a person will have to remove the wheels. If you have a big closet and have a space for it without hanging clothes, this is definitely a good fit for you.This a pretty good hamper. I have owned it for about 2 to 3 weeks. The bags are stronger quality along with the hooks than what I used to have.Let me say, make sure you take measurements before purchasing this for a closet. I didn't realize that it was so tall with the wheels. Luckily, the wheels were able to be removed and now the clothes don't sink into the hamper nearly as much hanging from inside the closet. It is hard to tell in my pictures, but with the wheels on, it was a pain to try to push it underneath the closet and the hanging clothes.I ended up putting adhesive moving pads on the bottom instead (stop the surface of the wood floor from being scratched up). Overall, I hope this will last me a long time!

DecoBros Heavy-Duty 3-Bag Laundry Sorter Cart (Bronze)UPDATE: Was contacted by Julie from Deco Bros Customer Service within 30 minutes after sending my initial email. She informed me that they would be sending me replacement arms via USPS priority mail. I received the package the next day, but unfortunately, they sent the chrome hangers instead of the bronze. Again I emailed Julie and within 30 minutes, she replied to my email. She apologized for the mix up and sent the correct bronze arms. I received the 2nd replacement arms the next day. I have to give Deco Bros credit for their quick response to my issues.Now that I put together the cart with the arms, I am very pleased with it. It was easy to put together and sturdy. I like the bars at the bottom of the cart that support the laundry bags as they get full.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Just unpacked the contents of the box and was about to assemble it, but noticed that 2 of the laundry bags arms were melted together on one side. I emailed DecoBros customer service and am awaiting a response. I will wait to put the cart together until I hear from them since I may have to ship the entire cart back to Amazon. Hopefully this is just a "fluke" that got by quality control.Everything else seems to be ok, so hopefully I will hear back from DecoBros soon.

We owned this model for a couple of years even though it broke rather quickly. The duct tape holding it together wasn't cutting it anymore, so I looked for a new drying rack. We have minimal space, so needed something that could fold up into a small space. We also wanted something that could expand to include a lot of shirts and jeans. I looked everywhere, but nothing met my criteria except for this same model. If you calculate cost per use, then it surely paid for itself many times over. I guess I just have to assume that I'll be replacing it every 1-2 years.

This has been what I've used for drying most of my clothes for pretty much 2 years now. It was easy to set up, and it's nice because it can expand to dry more clothes, but doesn't take up much storage space when folded up. The mesh at the top of the rack has been really helpful for me to dry sweaters and such flat, but it's a little disappointing that's it's half the size of the full rack. The rods can also feel a little shaky, especially once it's expanded, but it's reliable and hasn't broken on me.After 2 years some elastic parts are getting stretched, but it's not a deal-breaker. This is a fairly small drying rack though, just perfect for 1 person. My washing machine is fairly small, so it's perfect for me, but you should definitely check sizing. Over time some screws can get loose so you'll have to tighten them, but I've only had to do it 2 times and it's been perfectly fine for me.

I use this for swim suits, delicates, and other items that cannot go in the dryer. The mesh on the top is good for sweaters or anything else that may stretch when wet. I hang most items on the horizontal aluminum bars, but I can easily fit an extra eight pairs of gym shorts and underwear on the top of the metal posts.The rack is very light weight and conveniently folds away in a closet. Perfect for a Manhattan apartment where space is at a premium.On the downside, the aluminum construction feels a little flimsy, like the connecting joints and plastic caps will eventually come apart. That said, it has lasted a year without any problems; it's definitely sturdy, even when fully laden with wet clothing; and the metal has not rusted in the slightest.While this drying rack is not tall enough to hang a shirt from a hanger without touching the floor, the shower works well for that purpose.

Let me start by saying I do not own a dryer and I live on the ground floor in an apartment complex in a 600 square foot apartment. This is the only way I can dry clothes, so I have given this review and this rack a lot of thought.First the positives: The rack folds up very compact. You can easily store it behind a waist high dresser or other piece of furniture that is a couple of inches away from the wall. When opened it further expands length-wise to twice its length giving you twice the space to dry things you would have otherwise had. Fully extended, you can easily drape a queen sized sheet over it, put a box fan on it, and have it dry in a couple of hours. The rack has tremendous capacity and good air flow. The mesh screen they fit on top is also pure genius for drying delicate items such as bras (it can fit 5) or lace sweaters that you don't want to stretch.Things that need improvement: It is about 4 inches too short. Lets say you just washed a collared shirt for work and would like to hang it on the hangar to dry. If you hang it on the top rung, it will brush the floor. This is a problem for two reasons: one, it limits the racks capacity, and two, where are you going to dry that shirt if you don't have any door jams (because I don't)? The second flaw is the expansion joint in the middle of the rack. Where the rack expands there are plastic pieces that just out approximately 2mm and they don't even bother to try to make a smooth transition between the two sides of the rack. This "jut-out" shows in the clothes drying over them, so the transition between the bars should really be smooth and tapered.That's it. All in all a great product.

I love these drying racks. This one was purchased to supplement another one we have had for half a dozen years that's finally getting a little rickety and doesn't quite offer enough room with large loads. This drying rack works great, seems sturdily built, and looks good with its silver finish. The only cons I have are that the legs are shorter than my old one (which means bending over more), and it gives about 3' less footage to hang on. It lost a star for that, but otherwise is great.

Very sturdy drying rack. I wish it expanded slightly wider. Definitely the best drying rack I have ever owned. It is completely sturdy even opened to full width and full of wet laundry. It is worth the purchase.

I bought this kit to use on the back of my pantry door to hold mops, brooms, and other cleaning supplies. It came as pictures but was a little more cream colored than white, which I was ok with since it is not like I am using it as decor.The only thing I really didn't like was the screws that came with it to mount. They were so large, if I used them they would have went straight through the door to the other side. I get needing bigger screws to keep it up, but that length just seemed unnecessary especially since most people I know that have these have them mounted to the inside of a door.Overall I am pleased, even if I'm not able to use all pieces that came along with my purchase.

It's a good quality product and does what it is supposed to. The grips are very strong, so the tools do not move (almost too strong). However I find the grips are not spaced quite far enough apart for my liking. In the mfg photo, spacing appears fine with mops & brooms positioned upright and downward to fit them side-by-side, but in reality mine appear much more crammed together, so much so, they are difficult to get in & out of the organizer, particularly because it does grip so well. It's ok for me and likely as good, possibly better than other organizers out there, but if you have the space I'd recommend 2 placed side-by-side so you have the option to skip a gripper, if need be, for bigger or more awkwardly shaped cleaning tools. I should have done this from the get go, but don't quite love it enough to spend another $15. Thirty bucks to organize my brooms and mops is more than I want to spend, particularly when I only have 5 tools.

This product is sturdy and easy to install. It is has a more attractive and functional design than any of the mop/broom holders that I researched. I love the extra hooks that are on the front of the holder. It is a perfect place to store my umbrella, gloves and hats.I am very happy with this purchase, It is a great design that holds the brooms and dusters neatly and securely. My mop has a curved handle so it won't lay flat against the wall. This is not a design flaw, just something to think about when purchasing this item.

Have only had it a few weeks but so far so good. It seems sturdy. Make sure you find studs in your wall and/or use the drywall anchors wen hanging this product, as the force needed to remove an item (broom, mop etc) is significant and it its not secured to the wall properly you could easily pull it right off. I gave it four stars because its not the easiest to get a broom or mop handle into. You have to be at just the right angle to get the wheel to retract and accept the handle. Time will tell if this product holds up and I'll update in the future if needed.

The wall mounted holder works well, nothing slides down (so far) and the storage seems secure. My only suggestion to make this a 5-star product would be to have a small tab to push up the spring mounted arms that hold your items in place. I don't have an issue loading or unloading a handle, but my Wife does. She complains that the springs are too strong (but they need to be). She can get things out of the organizer but leaves me to put them back :) . Rather than use the supplied hardware I used wallboard anchors that are a bit more substantial. With six of these holding up the Mop and Broom holder, it's not going anywhere. We purchased two organizers: one to mount one behind the door to the laundry/mud room for mops, booms, a hardwood floor sweeper and a yard stick. The second will go in my garage to store a broom, scrub brush, paint roller handles and a push-broom. It's difficult to see it on the product photos on Amazon but there are also six flip down hooks, they aren't heavy duty but rather a nice place to hang light-weight items. If you are looking for a way to get similar items off your floors and out of corners, this has item has met my expectations and then some.

Fits perfectly in the five inch space between the fridge and the wall. In the absence of a broom closet, this is quite the space saver. Good for smaller homes/spaces where having a closet is both impractical and impossible.The screw holes are deep set, so you will need an extension on your drill to get this baby into the wall, but once its in, it isn't going anywhere! I had no difficulty getting it to catch hold of my brooms, and the provided hooks can be moved up and out of the way, or down for use-mine were used for the dustpan and as a hook for a duster.Update 3/14/17: We have since moved, and had to purchase another one for the house we are now in. I am still satisfied with this product. The design does appear to be a little different (not as easy to get the broom in), but the product still works well.I wanted to point something out-while there are SIX holes for the screws, I have only ever mounted this using the screws on either end. The allowed space in the middle is over-engineering, honestly, and makes it much more difficult to evenly space the screws/wall mounts. I have this loaded at the moment (as I did the previous one), and its holding fine.Please note that there will be room for many tools if you stagger them by height. This does require some strategy and precision since the slots are spaced so closely together, but if you are truly lacking space as we have been, this product is ideal.

Works well for sorting items but the bins could be wider. Maybe make a larger size too?

Very nice looking and works just fine. I just wish it was a little more sturdy....when its nearly or full, and you push on it, the entire unit bends the way you are pushing from. Again, it works, but the last one I bought from costco was a one piece frame which was much better than this multi piece unit.

For the price its good its not as sturdy as one would want i ordered 2 of these cause we have ALOT of laundry, when you fill more than 1/2 way it seems to lean to one side. It was also a pain in the butt to assemble !

It looks really nice and was easy to put together. However, after only a few weeks use it started to lean to one side. I tightened all of the parts and that didn't help. Still leans pretty significantly, even if there is not clothes in it.

I love this! We have had it for Ovwrva year now and think it's Prwtty good! Super quick and easy to put together. The bags are of high quality and makes laundry a little easier because I can sort it prior to going to the laundry room. I can either wheel the whole thing or can take off tan individual bag. It does sometimes cave in or the wheels do not work. One complaint is that the metal part is sturdy, but needs to be mor sturdy.

Not as sturdy as I expected given the good reviews. The fabric smelled so strongly we could not keep it in the bedroom. Assembly was fine. This product would be ideal for a very large laundry room.

This might sound ridiculous but a very common problem with this drying rack is that there are little plastic noches that stick out and catch on my clothes. It catches on both ones that I hanging on the drying rack and the ones I'm wearing as I walk past the drying rack. It has gotten caught on my clothes and snag them almost every time I use it.

I would have given this five stars, because for the first year I had it, it worked wonderfully.During the first year the screws did get loose, and it became wobbly. But that's ok, I tightened the screws. My main problem is that the legs are not strong enough. After about a year one of the legs bent and snapped off. I love the design and the amount of clothes it holds. But the legs aren't strong enough to support such a large amount of wet clothes. At first it was fine, but it eventually bowed in the legs and bent the metal and eventually it snapped and broke off.

Got this as a replacement for a broken Sunbeam product that I received. Does the job but not thrilled with it. Lots of space for clothes, but I wouldn't put several pairs of trousers or jeans on it as it doesn't feel as sturdy as the Sunbeam one. It is easy to fold to transport from indoors to outdoors, but I think the legs are a bit long and get in the way. It definitely couldn't be just stored in the corner/out of view as it is too tall once collapsed as the legs don't collapse. Like it, but not worth the $39.99. Glad I didn't pay that for it.

This drying rack is great for things that won't crease or stretch if you hang them at the middle and the mesh on top is helpful for sweaters and things that need to lie flat. I do wish it came with a second mesh attachment, or that it was available to buy separately, so I could dry two sweaters at once. One issue I've noticed with the quality is some of the plastic caps on the metal bars are not completely smooth and can snag your garment if you're not careful. I'm sure they can be smoothed down easily enough, it's just a worry sometimes since I'm using this rack for mostly delicates.

I love this drying rack, so I'm giving it three stars. The size is great, it's easy to move around, and I love the mesh attachment on the top for socks and other smaller items. That said, the first drying rack I bought broke within a few months when one of the horizontal top poles came loose from the opposite side. The engineering on it is not good, so there's no way to reattach the pole by screwing it back -- and, though I tried gluing and taping, neither method was effective at holding the pole. Quickly after the first break, another pole broke in the same way. So, I replaced the whole rack; and now, within months of getting the new one, I've had a pole break in the same way. When this rack gets to the point of needing to be replaced, I'll be searching for a new model that will hopefully provide the same features but be more durable.

This rack is a bit flimsy. It is sturdy enough for my needs (it will be used in my laundry room only), but would not be suitable for use outdoors. I purchased this rack because I thought the mesh screen would be handy for drying sweaters flat without risk of stretching them. Unfortunately, the mesh area is too small to hold anything but a child's sweater. I will be sewing a larger mesh screen to fit the rack when it is fully expanded. Glad I have the skill to design and construct a larger mesh, but I'm disappointed that I have to do this in order to get a fully functional drying rack for anything larger than a size 0.

Do NOT use the included hardware. My organizer stayed up for a few hours. The "drywall anchors" were so large, that to keep my organizer in the same place with real drywall anchors, I had to use ones that were very large and as a result, my screw heads are too large to get fully seated. It does seem very secure now, however.There is a lot of tension for pushing the broom handle in. Nothing seems likely to go anywhere.

Ok holder, but some slipping can occur if you're not careful. Need to give a tug and keep the mop handle close to the back of the hanger to lock in place. Otherwise, may start to slide down very slowly and you will come back to find it on the ground. The hooks hold well for additional items.Just occurred to me while writing this - I wonder if the the balls that catch each pole were rough instead of smooth, they may grip better. Maybe some sanding would help. If they were only made of hard rubber instead of plastic!

This product works okay for its advertised purpose. I liked the hooks that fold down to hold things that won't fit in the little roller holders. The main problem with this product is that the rotating rollers that are supposed to maintain tension on the broom, shovel, rake, etc. lose their tension and drop whatever it is that they are supposed to be holding. You either have to scoot the item all the way down so it's sitting against the top of the holder so it doesn't slide out, or you have to hang it by one of the hooks, because they slide down and fall out of the rollers after being in them for a couple minutes. I bought three of them, and I'm making them work, but all three of them have the same problem, so I think it's a general design flaw. The concept is good, but be prepared to have your stuff slide down and fall off.

This broom holder serves its use. The hooks and ball mechanism for the broom holder is cleaver. The problem I encountered is the holes for the screws are close to the same width all the way back, there's only a thin lip for which the screw head to be in contact with the plastic. I was attaching this to a wall where one set of screw holes was over a stud, while the others were not. In a pinch (moving and without my full set of supplies) I had to use a standard wood screw instead of a pan head screw for the holes going into the stud (screws provided wouldn't have been long enough to hit the stud). The first time I installed it the screw popped past the holder and had to be removed. This could be solved by making the opening for the screws to exit smaller (one of mine was actually similar to this) or otherwise re-engineering the hole so it's less oblong. Then again, if you're only going into drywall at all six holes you may not have an issue.

This is a good idea, and for the most art could work well. With in the first two weeks everything worked well, and as expected. On week three is when things turned bad. On week three, the hook on the front snapped off for one of the holders. The next week the balls in the same slot that the hook snapped off of fell out. I just use the space for a large handled thing, so friction holds it. I haven't replaced it, but I am thinking about it. I got two at the time I ordered mine, so I will use another one because I am not sure if it is hard use, or if it was something wrong with the system. I will find out after using the next one. If you are mounting to brick, block, or cement walls like I was, I used 3/8x4 tapcons to mount it, and saved the mounting hardware. The hardware sent in the box is good for mounting to drywall like in most new homes. This does not, and will not mount well to lath and plaster. If you are mounting to lath and plaster, make sure to use a flang boalt, one that has an anker with wings, better known as a togal bolt. Make sure you use every hole they provide, or it will fall down for sure off a lath and plaster wall.

A tough install having to do it by myself. If you don't have a second pair of hands to help, wait for a very calm and relaxing day to attempt the install (and make a template for the holes); otherwise, prepare to go bald pulling your hair out if you care about the holder being mounted level. Once the thing is up, be prepared for bulk shock -- it looks pretty bulky on the wall. Next, find some heavy duty rubber bands (the kind you find on a bunch of celery in the produce section work fine) because, unless your brooms and mops are truly lightweights, the handle, regardless of diameter, will most definitely slip through the so-called grips. Just wrap a heavy-duty rubber band around the handle at the level you want it to hang -- the extra bulk of the band will prevent it from slipping through the grips. But, once you overcome the installation chore and bulk shock and have remedied the slipping, the darned thing works pretty well.

This cart is so flimsy it gets loose and droopy pretty fast. Definitely not strong enough to deal with a whole family's laundry needs. Pretty disappointing.

The product itself is great! Very sturdy. Strong wheels that roll over thick carpet. But the bags are so small, they don't even fill in the space provided. Sad.

I had high hopes for this sorter, but sadly the frame simply cannot support even moderate weight in the bags.I made sure to carefully and evenly tighten all of the hardware as to avoid any issues with leaning, but for all my efforts the cart still leans when the bags are not even full. I'd say with all three bags half full it has at least a 3/4" lean - if not more.That being said, the cart really does look nice. If you can find a way to stabilize the unit better, definitely do so. I imagine it wouldn't be as noticeable if you had it in a linen closet large enough to accommodate it's size. Simply just needs more support, like a sturdier frame. There are small black plastic spacers that attach between the frame pieces, if you can somehow find some black ones that work - it may resolve the issue - I'm no engineer though.

I didn't get to judge this cart as well as I could have, for I believe I may received a bit of a lemon compared to others. I'm not being so cruel as to rate it one star when I only had it in my possession, fully assembled, for an hour or two at most. The cart was flimsy once I got a good look at it and I now wouldn't trust it to stay together for too long, even after I secured all the screws tightly enough to keep it from wobbling. One of the legs stretching across the piece even had a bit of a defective screw-hole which wasn't easy for me to get a screw into initially (luckily, that should be solved now that I used a screwdriver to drive it in that screw like a normal woman). On the plus side, it was easy enough for one relatively small person who normally doesn't do much handiwork to assemble it by herself in a small area and one of the only two tools needed to put it together were in the box, not to mention it came with plenty of hardware in case a piece or two got lost in transit. That, at least, I can applaud the manufacturer for.As of [09/13/2016], the initial item I received is currently headed back to Amazon, having been sent back for a refund, and I will be looking for a better replacement. If anything relevant comes up, I will update this review accordingly.

Frame comes in small segments that "snap" together but don't hold very firm. Little buttons stick out 1/4-inch in the middle of each horizontal length. That's five little buttons. Cart does not stay vertical (plumb) but leans to one side since all the connections are not tight and there is no cross bracing. It you're after looks (and don't care about the buttons showing), this cart is for you. If you want something that's truly sturdy and will last a long time, look elsewhere.

The cart is very nice looking, but very weak at the joints. After one use of rolling it, with the three bags containing one load of clothing each, across the tile floor in my laundry room, the cart leaned markedly to the left. I'm glad it was relatively inexpensive since I ended up throwing it away after that one use.

Made well, sturdy, yet not tallEnough to hang a shirt.

I haven't had this rack very long and it's started to fall apart already. Which is too bad, because I really like the expandable design. Basically the bars are only held together by fitting into nuts on the side of the rack, and expanding and closing the rack quickly causes these to come apart.

I was excited about ths clothes drying rack because it expands. It has enough rails to hang items. However the legs are extremely wobbly. I've tried tightening the fasteners, but to no avail. Every time I hang clothing on it, the rack starts to lean over and I have to stabilize it with weights against the legs so it won't fall to the ground. I would not recommend this model.

The only thing I like about the clothes rack is the fact that it's made of aluminum, so therefore it is light weight. I have one of the older wooden type racks that doesn't seem as sturdy. BUT....this one is not tall enough off the floor to hang clothes on hangars without dragging the floor. The mesh piece is handy for small things that would fall off the rack. I can hang lots more clothes on the old wooden one, and it is tall enough to keep them from dragging on the floor if they are on hangars. My husband repaired my old wooden one and I'm still using it. This one would be good if you place it in a bathtub perhapsI am not happy with this item, but it clearly was my fault for not paying closer attention to the size and height which are listed in the description of the rack.

I loved that this drying rack is expandable and collapsible, but within 6 months of purchase the bars came loose from the side arms and there is no way to re-attach them. Gorilla Glue??? Then it won't be collapsible anymore. To top things off, this item can only be returned within 30 days of purchase.

I got this rack thinking I could dry multiple shirts at the same time. The top rack holds one shirt and leaves funny creases because the width doesn't let the shirts (men's size small) lay completely flat. The hinges (4 on each side) crumple the shirts.Lower rods work great for small items/lingerie. It's very easy to fold up and slide beside the washer when not needed. I kept it because of that but I really wish it were 2" wider so I don't have to iron every shirt that I air dry :/

This is my 2nd order for this item. I can't believe how different it is from the first one. The 2nd one has tight springs in it which make it hard to hang anything as well as remove. The 1st one I bought the holders are loose but as soon as you place a broom stick in it it automatically grabs. I'm disappointed in my 2nd buy. I have no idea why the manufacturer would change the design because it worked so well without the heavy spring action.

I only kept this to avoid returning as we all know that is a hassle. This item really does not work as well as others. Yes this has the "balls" that are suppose to fit to any handle, unfortunately they do not. The balls are not tight and there is a sizable gap between the ball and the edge. I could only use my thick handles with this product. The best way is to slide the handle down and hope it catches on the ball and rubber track. all my smaller handles fell out. If you wrap duct tape around the smaller handles to make the circumference bigger, they will catch better. I cannot recommend this product.

Just okay, and barely rates an okay. The 7lb rated holding capacity is a joke. Even with a very light broom it slides down until it comes in contact with the handle or something else to stop it from slipping. Have tried many different things and it just holds okay no matter what. We only needed it to hold a couple of things and put them in so that when the end of the brooms rests on top of the part that's supposed to hold it and it can't slide.If you try to use this to hold something by the handle like it shows in the picture, it won't work, at least the one we have won't.

Im not sure this product deserves the high marks. Its very "plastic" and the weight limit is rather low (I believe 7.5lbs?). This means things will slide down, and it didn't adequately hold my Libman push broom. Its mostly plastic, and the friction-holding wheel and pad aren't very strong. This wasn't what I was expecting for a garage. Maybe ok for a Swiffer and light-weight broom. Anything more serious, look elsewhere.Big gripe: the plastic screw holes aren't very robust. Be careful not to over-tighten the screws, or you'll blow right through the plastic (easily). I accidentally did this on the middle holes, not the outer ones. Big bummer. Wasn't hard to do.I would return this, but its hard to do so once you've tried it out by hanging it on the wall. Not really what I was hoping for.

I chose this product among the many options for wall organizers in part because I loved that there were hooks as well. When I received it, I was excited to mount it and start getting some use out of it. There were no instructions included, but I was able to figure it out. Took more time than it would have if there were instructions included!Once I installed it in the garage, I loaded it up with all my gardening tools and brooms. I walked away happy to go make some dinner. As I was chopping up ingredients for my famous salsa, I heard a loud sound in the garage that made my poor cat jump in the air. I walk back into the garage to see that my broom and mop have fallen off the organizer and knocked over my little recycling bin in the process. So much for de-cluttering and organizing! I wouldn't recommend this product.

I think it is fragile to use. You must use care to place a standard broom or mop handle in any slot The latching mechanism is loose, by design. I bought 2 of these, and since I'm committed, I'm glad I did. Having 2 of these was the only way: 2 standard mops, 1 broom, 2 swifters, and a metal dust pan could co-reside usefully. It is not easy to install, especially since no instructions came with it. A drill pattern would have been nice since you are placing 6 screws into your wall. And maybe guidance on the drill bit size? And if using an electric screw driver, be sure it has a long attachment. I'm pretty sure the hooks will not last all that long; flimsy. I'm sprucing up the house to sell it. I hope these last a few months.

Received my laundry cart all the parts that I received look quality. Went to put it together and I am missing 3 major poles!!!!! I am VERY irate!! I can't even find a phone number to call anyone this is awful!

My husband and I have been using this laundry sorter for about 6 months. For most of that time, it sat in our walk-in closet as a hamper.Last week, I decided to take advantage of the wheels and pull the cart into our laundry room, about 10 feet away from our closet. All 3 of the laundry bags were full. Since then, the cart has been wobbly, and I've been afraid to move it at all for fear it will collapse. My husband tightened the pieces yesterday, but it's still not sturdy. He said it would need a couple of crossbars to actually be stable.So I've come to the conclusion that you cannot actually use all 3 laundry bags and expect to cart this thing anywhere. If it wasn't made for filling with laundry and wheeling around, why does it have laundry bags and wheels?So, short of doing some welding, this cart isn't actually good for carting around laundry. It'll sit in the closet again as just a hamper until it collapses and we have to throw it out.

I was really excited when I received it. It was easy to put together, but after 2 days of use it started slanting to one side and wobbly. And the chemical smell that many talk about is strong. I took it out of my room to a spare bedroom cause couldn't sleep cause of the smell was just to strong the first couple of days.i would bot buy its to expensive for the quality. I was better of buying separate plastic hampers.

The bags absolutely stunk! An awful, super strong chemical smell that filled my entire room. We washed them twice and the horrible chemical smell wouldn't come out! We returned it immediately. We ended up buying one at Target so we knew what we were getting. Do not buy!

While it hasn't fallen apart, it is very loose at all of the joints. When I put it together, no matter how tight I mad the screws, it didn't matter. It never would get rigid. I keep it in a closet so it doesn't get moved around much. I'm convinced that if I moved it often it would have fallen apart by now.

Followed instructions and tightened everything down as tight as it would go. Once you put laundry in it and add that weight it becomes very flimsy. I wouldn't buy it again

These must be made for midgets. It looked like the ideal drying rack for me, so I ordered 2 for my new house. I just missed the return window by 5 days, because I am in the middle of fixing up our old (new to us) house. I am stuck with these extremely short clothes racks, and I don't know what to do with them. I could never hang pants on them, because my pants/leggings/dresses/actually anything, really, would hang onto my floor since it is too short. The quality seems decent, but soooo not worth the purchase if you're a typical height person (above 4'-0").

Poor quality, looked great for a few month... then screws started to come out... being handy I tried to tighten up screws and discovered that the inserts that hold the screws were too loose to hold the rods. Poor design and manufacturing, now a pile of parts, a waste of resources and soon to be thrown away.

I did not like it at all

Well first let me say i don't write many reviews and this is the first in a long time. However our family purchased not one but two of these drying racks as an alternative to during outside during the winter months and our dryer for delicate items. Big mistake! This rack starts out fine but in not much time comes apart at the ends as they are compression fitted with the metal rods fitting over metal nuts- not good engineering. In both racks several rods are disconnected and we find ourselves trying to reconnect the rods to hang clothes. Once the rods come out they never stay back in. So if you would like a drying rack that will fall apart every time you move or use it, this is your rack! Hope you don't make the wrong choice like we did, this things drives us nuts! Shopping on Amazon now for a replacement

Do not buy this. I don't usually write reviews but I think people should know that this product will snag your clothes. The plastic end caps have pieces that weren't properly cut off and it snags my delicates. Totally not worth it!!!!

Purchased two of these and both are coming apart within a year. Very poorly made, legs and bars do not stay together.

Total Junk. Mounting holes are 11 inches apart--meaning that you can attach this to studs. You'll have to drill into wallboard and use the cheap plastic inserts provided. Those plastic inserts always fail as soon as you put any weight on them. Useless, and going in trash; I will get something more serious.

The product arrived well ahead of time. I opened the box and the installation was a breeze. I started putting each of the broom on the holder. One of the holder spring is busted and won't hold it. The product is poor quality. Now I have already installed it and don't have patience to uninstall and send it for return. If the seller is interested and sends me a good quality one later then I can take the pain to uninstall and reinstall and send the busted product to seller for reviewing its quality and also may consider increasing the product rating.

Wow! What a peice of crap. The screw heads are incredible small to fit deep inside the part, then are so small that they screw right through the back of the plastic mount. The included wall anchors spun in the holes. We got some great wall anchors, but without an extra 2" screw length to pentrate the plastic and then active the wall anchor, this was a bust as well.Get something better. Oh, and the brooms fall right through to the ground anyway.

Comes with zero instructions for mounting (not that it is rocket science) but some assurance that it is at least oriented correctly would be nice.Does not hold even the lightest of brooms - when I tried to put a "corn broom" (http://www.amazon.com/Rubbermaid-638300-BLUE-DM-RCP6383/dp/B00P1P14IQ?ie=UTF8&keywords=corn%20broom%20rubbermaid&qid=1459884286&ref_=sr_1_11&sr=8-11) into the holder it slid all the way to the bottom. I tried with another plastic angled broom (http://www.amazon.com/LIBMAN-CO-00201-Libman-Precision/dp/B001AKT7V2/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1459884172&sr=8-6&keywords=angle+broom) and it too slid to the bottom without holding it off the floor, which is the whole point of this item.Space between "holders" is too close to use more than every other one - one broom (the lightest one I had that actually stayed in place) plus a dustpan blocked all of the other slots for tools.

This thing is a joke. I hung a lightweight broom, a floor mop, and a ceiling fan duster--and the next thing I knew all of them were touching the floor. They were still in the holders, so I readjusted them and then watched as each one slowwwwly slipped down the wall again until it touched the floor. There is absolutely no gripping power. The S.O. is going to make a rack for me using grippers that he buys at Tractor Supply, and then this useless thing is going into the rubbish. Bah.

This is a lesson on trusting a product with PAID reviews. This product does not work. If you have any items with smooth PAINTED metal handles, it WILL NOT hold them in place. They just slip down through the clasp. Of the five items I wanted it to hold, only the one with an unpainted aluminum handle would hold. I am just glad I tried it before I mounted it. Also of note, the clasps are entirely too close together. The photo they use to advertise the item is completely doctored. Point being, even if the clasps held the handles I would still be unhappy with the item. However, I will note the GREAT return policy Amazon has. This is one of the reasons they are one of my favorite places to search for products.
