Rolling Clothes Rack
This evening I went to Walmart and bought a rolling, adjustable clothes rack. This was to replace an old one that had been bent out of shape; the new one was about twenty-three dollars. Here is the review.
It seems to be sturdy and was easy to assemble. It has tubular steel parts that are held together by heavy duty, plastic parts at the top and base. In my experience, the plastic parts that make the right angles are a plus because the metal, unless it is very thick scaffolding-like construction, tends to bend and crimp much more than plastic. This one also adjusts in height by about a third, and has extension arms on either side at the top. I can say that it is better than the last two racks I had.
It extends to about sixty inches with the two arms, and I can, with clip hangers, spread a kilt out fairly well for steaming and that type of thing. I don't know that it would support a wet kilt. I already keep my suits and kilts in two, fifteen-inch-wide garment protectors. The rack, not counting the arms, is a little more than thirty inches wide, so I can put both on the rack.
One other feature is five smaller hanger rods above the main rod or tube. I think I could put my whole closet on this rack which will come in handy if I have to move or something like that. Hopefully it will hold up well.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
