Polder Wall-Mount 24-Inch Accordion Clothes Dryer, White Review

I just received this item today and my first thought is it's a little flimsy -- the anchors and screws provided with it are weak and the construction of the rack itself is a little iffy. We'll see how it holds up.

It definitely won't hold much weight. But I wanted something outside my kitchen door (there's a tiny porch there) that I could hang wet dish towels and such on (my grandmother always had a line strung on her kitchen porch for this reason). I think it will be fine for this. I was also hoping, however, to be able to hang the occasional wet pair of jeans or whatever out there to dry in the sun and this is what I'm not sure of -- whether or not it will hold this much weight (the instructions say it will hold 22 pounds).

The fact the rack comes with two sets of mounting brackets that it slides on and off of is a nice idea. However, I think too much moving the rack around will eventually cause the brackets to pull out of the wall or the rack itself to break. The 'accordion' mechanism doesn't glide completely smoothly and I wonder how long it will hold up.

Still, not a bad buy for the price. If this lasts awhile and proves useful I may upgrade to a sturdier product at some point, as long as I can find one I can use outdoors. (The instructions did not actually indicate outdoor use, but it's plastic and is hung under the eaves so I thought I'd give it a try).

I may be downgrading my 3-star rating as I use this item over the next few months.
