Came as pictured.
All white. Thin metal tubing, plastic connectors, plastic frame.
One side's feet are purposefully different, but I don't know what to call them. This means it leans ever slightly to one side, which really doesn't matter with laundry and only matters if you're trying to use it as a drying rack for say paper or canvas boards, and it's for stability reasons I think. It allows it to hook under a rod or to be able to lean less on the wall. It's a thoughful feature.
One of the connectors came already broken. Just re-appropiated that bar…needed it too much to wait for a replacement, that would likely also break, as I immediately started using it.
An annoying thing is that the tubes don't fit consistently onto the connectors. On some of the connectors they only go on a little ways and on others they go on all the way and won't come off again. This means that sometimes when I pick it up it comes apart and I have to put it back together. This is very annoying. The tip is to start from the top and work your way down, allowing one side to be ever so slightly slanted away closer at the top farther at the bottom.
Maybe I will glue them. But I think things to be able to be fixable or re-usable. So maybe not.
Even put it beside the dishwasher and dried placemats on it, then, temporarily, a bunch of floor towels after a plumbing crisis.
Lightweight enough to be very easy to carry around and move from floor to table top or counter-top, and to fold and unfold to lean against a wall. But still holds up to the lightweight laundry so far.
Because it's summer, I Have yet to try out any heavy sweaters or truly heavy duty jeans, but I don't know that that's going to be its strong point given those plastic connectors and hollow tubes. But we will see on the sweater front, a bit …not a lot at once…because that would be very helpful. .
Folds and unfolds sort of easily. There's a knob meant to lock or loosen but I can't tell which way does what, so that's not a great sign. No matter which way I turn it is locked it doesn't want to open, but then opens all the way…🤦♀️so… however, it does stay wherever I put it, so it works, for now at least.
Storage and storage capacity: It's size is good, fitting beside the dryer and fitting up to size large shirts with sleeves flatly. Three or four shirts, or a ton of socjs and underwear, which is what I was looking for. I May even use it to help me with my quilting fabrics when I'm sorting and cutting. Tiny pieces would probably just slip off, but my larger pieces and various tops waiting to be batted and quilted would work really well.
Honestly, if I had the room, it would get re-assigned. 😁

Perfect drying rack for small spaces
My apartment’s bathroom is long and narrow. There’s not a lot of space for a space-hogging drying rack. This drying rack is fully adjustable from folded in half to flat so fits perfectly in my small bathroom. Its easy to assemble and there’s lots of rack space to hang clothing. The only thing is that its not “sturdy”– i need to be careful when handling so it doesn’t pull apart. But I don’t have to move it around a lot so I’m ok with that. Its a good value and the right size if you need to dry clothing in a small space.

NOT POSSIBLE TO ATTACH RODS TO FRAME!!
I ordered this rack because I wanted something that would fit over my tub and be easy to fold up and store. I don’t know if it works well over a tub because I was unable to assemble it AT ALL! Unfortunately it comes in pieces. It says to push the metal rods onto the plastic frame and push it down all the way to the base of the frame. Unfortunately before it gets halfway down, the metal rod (which is smaller than the plastic frame) digs into the plastic pegs and pushes the plastic out to the side. There is no way these pieces go together. I tried to email the seller to see if I needed to use a mallet or some WD-40 on the pegs but unfortunately the email – that is included in the package – does not exist – emails all undeliverable. Unfortunately it is a hard NO for me. Will be returning ASAP. Don’t bother with this one, a waste of time and money!

A great functional drying rack that saves on energy.
The Whitmore space maker folding drying rack is awesome. I have two of these that I bought at different times. The second time I got it I was thrilled because I really had to dig looking for it on Amazon. I think they must have been out of it for quite some time. I love this rack because I can dry delicates or whatever over my bathtub. I can lay it out 2 different ways. One can be at an angle leaning against the bathtub wall or it can be at a 90 degree angle sitting on opposite sides of the bathtub ledge. Regarding sturdiness, once in a great while the slim bars that make up this rack will separate, but only if you have dropped it or mishandled it. I love how it collapses into a slim piece so I can just store it right in front of the bathtub when not in use. The outer shower curtain hides it well. This is such an easy and great drying rack!

Easy, versatile, ingenious
This dryer rack was easy to assemble. It’s more sturdy than a conventional folding dryer rack. Because it can be used in many different positions, it’s versatile and perfect for small spaces. Takes up very little room when folded flat for storage. An ingenious design, really. Where has it been all my life? The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is that the pivot joints are a little bit finicky, and I’m concerned that the pivot joints might not be as durable as the rest of the rack in the long run.

Great drying rack. Tricky to assemble
Great rack for drying small items. Versatile – can be folded or laid out straight. Tricky to assemble. I used a mallet to make sure pegs clicked in . Otherwise you are chasing the ones that keep falling out. Once assembled very sturdy.

disappointment
Keeps coming apart– won’t hold together

Works wonderfully
I wanted something like this and saw many types but this seemed like it would fit my needs and it did! I am absolutely happy with it. You have to assemble it but no tools are needed, just connect the poles to pegs and press together that simple. It’s extremely light weight so a small child or elderly person very well be able to carry it. You can fold it any way you like and it hold. I had no problem putting it in different positions and keep it in place. So it has easy functionality. You can set it up and have plenty of space to dry fabrics so you do have a good amount of drying capacity with each pole.

Fantastic clothes airer for smaller items. So handy. Would highly recommend.

Good airer, foldable and seems easy to use. Like the fact that it is foldable and can lock it in place so doesn’t fall over. Downside is that you have to assemble it yourself. The issue with self assembly is that one of the moulded pegs for inserting the horizontal bars on was broken through. It seems impossible to remove the poles once fitted so as we had already partly constructed the airer we can’t exactly send it back. It was also imported into the country so again not wanting to send it back for one broken part. Fortunately the bit that had broken off was in the packaging and we are attempting to glue it in place so it may be OK once it can be fitted together.

Bin total begeistert, passt schön auf die Wanne und die dicken Stäbe bestens gegen die Knicke in der Wäsche. Großes Dankeschön für die schnelle Lieferung!

Live this clothes dryer. Unfortunately my toddler climbed it and broke a base but I was able to glue it back. Still use it two years later
