Clothes Drying Rack

I do not write reviews often, but in this case, I had to because I am so happy! I was in search of a clothes rack to hang my clothes, not a clothes drying rack. The reason is because I’m living in a rental temporarily, surrounded by my many boxes and wrapped furniture, and the place I will be moving to will not have any hanging clothes rods in the closets. I won’t have the time to outfit all my closets before moving so the search for something temporary to hang my clothes started over two months ago. Everyone knows how LARGE those wardrobe boxes are, so my goal is to get all my hanging clothes out of those HUGE boxes. My criteria: • Nothing that would need to be mounted on the wall since they I must hire someone to drywall/paint it when I do install closet organizers. • Had to be sturdy enough to hold my clothes. • Nothing that required assembly. • Needs to fold up so I can then store it in the attic or donate to another neighbor who is moving as well. Friends and neighbors gave me many ideas: tension rods (not sturdy enough), many Amazon drying racks (which all required assembly or would not fold flat after use), retractable washing lines (not sturdy and would require putting a hole in the closet to install). Then I saw the Vikaqi 95” Drying Clothes Rack. I had some questions and Michael, from Vikaqi customer service, was extremely helpful and prompt. I needed some clarification about size and sturdiness, especially given my intention to use it to store clothes. Finally, I felt ready to order. There were others like this rack, but to me it seemed the sturdiest based on customer reviews, as well as the videos, which I always find super helpful. The rack arrived yesterday. I opened it with a lot of hope. It was easy to assemble, although I could not figure out how to install the middle rod so it would not wobble. I finally realized there is a correct side to insert the rod, otherwise it will not slip into the hole for support. Success! Here is a picture of 2 wardrobe boxes worth of clothes! The rod opens to 95”, but I only opened it to 69” so there is another 26” left if your closet is large enough, and mine is in my new home. You can see that it has another empty rod on one side, even with 2 wardrobe boxes emptied. It is sturdier than I thought it would be and when you are not using it, it folds up and you can store it in your attic or basement. Dresses and long coats will drag on the floor so I will not be using this rod, but I have another solution for that issue. The bulk of my hanging clothes will fit which is what I needed it for. Because I am using it to hang clothes, not drying them, I don’t think I will be able to use the middle rod, but we’ll see. So…if you are in search of a clothes rack to hang your clothes, look no further! This is the rack you want! It’s a huge plus that the seller’s customer service representative, Michael, is extremely responsive. Since I have several more wardrobe boxes to empty, I ordered 3 more!

Easy to set up, expandable clothes drying rack. Pretty sturdy, just the right height and plenty of room for wet wash. The rack also come with hanger rings to clip on the rods to keep clothes spaced without being pushed by wind when placed on hangers. Also comes with clothes pin clips as well! Very nice, good value for money, fast delivery. Thank you!

Very pleased with product quality upon first taking it out of the box. I compared this product price and quality and the fact that it's stainless steel holds up to 250 lb, foldable, is water and rust resistant PLUS expandable in length (which is a huge benefit) compared it to other products that were similar. For all the above reasons I decided to purchase this company's product. I have the length on the shortest length being 52 inches. You can scroll through the product pictures to see the description of the longest length it expands to. I used to purchase an umbrella like clothes rack from Walmart however I loved it because it was foldable and held a lot of clothes however overtime it would break and I would have to buy a new one. Walmart no longer sells that product. For over the course of several months I've looked for a new clothes rack even though I do have my old one which is broke but I still use the top level. I invested in this because I felt like it would be something that would last a very long time (since it's made out of stainless steel and not plastic). I like that it's roomy and long enough to hold many clothes including blankets sheets and other linen. Upon first using it I am very pleased and I have it at the shortest length which is 52 inches with much additional room for additional clothes if I needed more. But keep in mind this clothes rack can expand to about 79 inches. I can't figure out how the company folded it up so compact when it was packaged so at this time I will not be folding it up like that unless I figure out how to ... but simply closing it shut and laying it against my wall will suffice. As a result it is a bit high but that doesn't bother me as I appreciate the height since my pants don't touch the floor. I usually open my windows for a period of time to allow fresh air in the house when I'm trying my clothes indoors. I have not used a dryer on a weekly basis for over 20 years and that is intentional because I don't see the need to waste money on drying clothes when the air can dry it for free. Plus usually when I dry clothes I risk the chance of items especially pants shrinking. This evening my city had a snowstorm as you can see in one of the pictures. My condominium has a washer and dryer that we can pay to use but I prefer to let my clothes, linen & blankets to naturally air dry indoors. This is my first time using the product but so far I'm very pleased and feel that this was a purchase worth every penny. In one of the pictures you can see me pointing to the middle bar which I used to hang a fitted bed sheet on. One thing I am very happy about is that I no longer have to hang my post washed towels, coats, jackets, blankets and bed sheets around my house and on bedroom and closet doors to dry because this has plenty of space and weight capacity to handle it all. 😀🙂😀

I am happy with this purchase because of how easy it is to use and how well it folds up when not in use to save space. It’s very lightweight but seems to be pretty sturdy. I haven’t had any issues with stability either, but I wish it was taller. When I dry my queen size bed sheets, the sheets are just touching the ground, which isn’t ideal. I don’t have anything to put under each foot to make it taller, so I try to get creative with how I hang it to try and prevent the sheets from touching the ground. I purchased the 63” length and I wish I purchased next size up.

I bought this to dry clothes outside on our deck. It is easy to set up and easy to take down. It stores well without taking up much room. We had it outside for several weeks and it remained sturdy - no issues.

I use this for all my shirts and pants and underthings as well. Saves on wear and tear, and I have yet to have to iron anything I've dried this way! Love it! It stays in the garage, fully extended, completely out of the way, but still? It's very easy to move to the side - or even collapse it if I need to. In the winter I might bring it in to hang wet clothing and increase the humidity, but for the rest of the year, it will def. stay garaged. By the way? I think the wind would knock it over pretty easily if I tried to use it outside...and the sun would fade my clothing. So it's def never going on the patio or out in the sunshine. It's an inside item for me.

Editing after several uses: At first I gave this four stars, but now I'm bumping it down to three. I still stand by what I said about the rack being well made and fairly simple to set up, take down, and store. However, I have attempted to use it outside five separate times now, and each time it has fallen over the minute there is even the slightest breeze. This item will NOT stand up if it's windy or even in just the slightest breeze. I set it out on a day when there was no wind, with two blankets and two towels hanging on it. But after a while a breeze started blowing and it fell over. If I want to use this outside, I'm going to have to figure out a way to anchor it to the ground. This is a great rack if you're using it indoors, or possibly in a sheltered balcony or porch where it won't be subjected to the movement of air. Otherwise, keep a very close eye on it if you're setting it on the ground outdoors. My main reason for purchasing this was so I'd have a way to hang my duvet outside to air out. The build quality is good and it really does fold down very small so it's easy to store. It will fit under a bed or in the corner of a closet no problem. I will say that if you are a shorter person, it's not difficult to set up and take down, but is a little awkward because it's quite tall. Of course you want that height when hanging laundry. But that's something to keep in mind especially if you have limited mobility. My complaint and reason for four stars instead of five is that it can be top heavy which makes it very susceptible to tipping over. The legs do not open widely enough to give it a steady base. I used it for the first time today, outside, to air out my duvet. It was a little breezy but nothing crazy, and it tipped over twice. Tried moving it to a place that was more sheltered from the breeze and it still tipped over. Thankfully the ground was clean and no damage done to the duvet. But if you want to use this outside and the area is prone to being in the breeze or wind, you'll have to find a way to anchor it, or keep a close eye on it. Otherwise, I would only recommend using it outside on a day when the air is calm. Overall it's a very nice product, just be careful if using outdoors.

Does exactly what it's said to do. I love the old school song outside and since I'm in AZ it's the perfect weather for it. My queen size comforter, clothes, pillowcases which was an extra large loaf dried in about 15 minutes. If you like outside drying then you absolutely must buy this.

Molto semplice: il prodotto non è descritto correttamente. Non puoi stenderci delle lenzuola perché striscerebbero a terra anche piegate. Ho già avviato il reso, pagato 17,20 di spedizione e scoperto che avrò indietro circa 4€. Fate voi, non aggiungo altro. Aggiorno: speravo che con una recensione così bassa, il venditore mi avrebbe proposto il rimborso totale delle spese di spedizione. Non lo ha fatto, peccato non poter dare zero stelle...

C'est génial 😍. Il est facile a installer et a ranger. Pas lourd . Je rachèterai. Vous ne serez pas déçu. Il peut être extentionner si besoin de plus de place. Seulement les épingles ne sont très petites et ne supportent pas les vêtements lourds. Quand c'est mouillé, le vêtement est plus lourd mais n'est pas soutenu par cette très petite épingle, dommage. Mais ça n'enlève rien a cet achat. Je mets 5 ⭐️

Utilisation facile : dépliage rapide et sécurisé, faible encombrement replié, transport aisé grâce à son faible poids, grande capacité d'étendage (longueur extensible), SAV à l'écoute. J'ai beaucoup apprécié cet étendoir, surtout cet hiver.

Really well made and easy to use and store. I have a very large quilted bed spread which weighs a ton when it's wet and this product doesn't even flinch! So easy to put up and take down and stores away neatly in the utility room with minimal space.
