Excellent airer
I had this same clothes horse when I was living in Europe and was so glad to see I could get the same one over here. Before I was using an airer from Ikea that is similarly priced but is much lower in quality. It is well made and sturdy, and doesn't make a racket rattling about all over the place when you try to move it. The arm heights are adjustable from pretty much horizontal to fairly straight up in the air. You can also have it set up so that it makes a triangle shape with the arms folded down, so it can fit over the bath. This makes it useful for drying sheets since you can just drape them over the arms while they are raised to the highest height. This would also be useful for somebody who wants to speed up the drying by putting the clothes on the arms and draping a sheet over it with a fan underneath. The plastic caps on the ends also have holes where you can hook a hanger thorough to dry stuff like dress shirts as well. It being so sturdy also means it can be easily taken outside and moved around the house so it is out of the way. (Also, one useful tip I've found to get the clothes to dry faster is to do an extra spin cycle on the washer before hanging them out).One thing I really appreciate is that the arms are a good distance apart as well. On most racks I find I have to skip every other rung in order to leave space for the air to flow between the clothes but on this one I don't need to do that. You can fit roughly one adult size shirt or trousers per rung. I think there are 14 rungs across the top with probably 12 on the bottom two legs (however the last one or two rungs are really only good for small things. Overall this is a good clothes horse that I think would work well for most people's drying needs. If you routinely need to dry very large or several loads of laundry at once I would suggest getting more than one.Also I noticed on the package when this arrived that this brand has one of those royal warrant to the queen stamps meaning it supplies the UK royal family so that is a nice touch if it's the sort of thing you care about.

perfect for small space drying needs
I'm using aΒ Panda Small Mini Portable Compact Washer Washing Machine 5.5lbs Capacity Β andΒ Centrifugal Clothes Portable Spin Dryer Β to manage my laundry at home in a small apartment. This Minky drying rack is a great addition to my little cleaning team as it opens up in a variety of shapes that make great use of the small space I have allotted for it in the bathroom. I can place it in the tub and use it with the "wings" either up or down depending on the size of the load. Multiple ways to configure it also makes it easy to hide the whole works behind the shower curtain if company is coming.Very well designed and executed: comes fully assembled = no rungs falling apart every time! The spaces between the rungs are pretty generous, giving good air flow for quicker drying. The width works great for my XL tee shirts without bunching them up. Easy to adjust the arms into the various positions, very similar to how many poolside lounge chairs work. Sturdy metal with quality plastic accents, feels substantial. Has a one year warranty and I like that the manufacturer puts their customer service telephone number right here in the product listing.This is one of those few and far between purchases that I don't have a single quibble to report. I've seen similar styles priced at about twice as much and some that are cheaper but with Minky's first rate design and solid/quality build I feel definitely feel got my money's worth.

Recommend it
I have been using the product for about two months and I like it a lot. I have saved a lot on my electricity bill because I have significantly reduced the use of the dryer, as this drying rack is big enough to handle all my laundry.It is not heavy, so it is easy to move around, and it fits perfectly between the wall and my washer, saving lots of room. It definitely meets my expectations and it is easy to use.

This one is an absolute doddle to put up and the bars are slim but sturdy. It folds down very neatly too
I'm from England and everyone I knew had a clothes horse. I'd been looking for one that I could hang my ironing on and dry clothes. My previous one was from Costco. It was bulky, and the bars were thick. It was also a nuisance to secure in place. This one is an absolute doddle to put up and the bars are slim but sturdy. It folds down very neatly too.

I love this rack
I love this rack. I got one before, the same one, but it's got broken from one side because of me, I put so much heavy blankets and bedding on one side. But this item is comfy to used at home (I have a studio), do sent take a lot of space and keeps to dry enough clothes. Love it, that's why I order another one, still waiting for item.

Pretty good clothes dryer
I like it. Heavy clothes tend to make the arms sag, but I give it 4 stars for the amount of items that can be put on it. It holds about twice what the traditional dryer holds. It's the best I've found so far.

I really like this rack.
Still experimenting with this rack to maximize its potential. No disappointments so far, no tipping or collapsing, the hanger holes are functional not just a gimmick. Easy set-up and take-down, very compact for storage.

the rack is fine for light to medium weight clothing
the rack is fine for light to medium weight clothing. It holds a lot more clothing items than my old drying rack. I like that the upper racks adjust to different heights.

Not the same quality as before
My previous Minky X wing, which I bought 10 years ago and was in frequent use, broke recently, and as I was extremely happy with that one, I naturally decided to replace it with what I believed would be the same product. The current Minky X wing is nothing but a flimsy shadow of its predecessor: gone are the quality and the sturdiness. there is no way the new one will last nearly as long as its predecessor. I would never have bought it had I known... How the mighty have fallen!

Sturdy and space saving
Sturdy airer, well built. Folds flat for storage. I like the way the clothes are spaced unlike concertina airers that have the clothes overlapping.

Minky Airer
I found that this Airer was perfect for hanging lots of washing. It was quite sturdy and had special holes in each corner to hang hangers for some items that you dont want creased. Plenty of space for T shirts and undies and easy to put up and collapse to put away. I was very impressed with this compared to some other ones I had looked at.

Exactly what I expected
It's a drying rack. It fits perfectly where I wanted it to stand. There are enough evenly spaced out bars. It can stand in front of a radiator without blocking all the heat into the room. It's exactly what I wanted, which is why I bought it.

Plenty of hanging space
Soo much hanging space! Easy to use and store. Last two maidens I had legs snapped , there is no chance of this happening with this product. Again you get what you pay for.πππ»
