I need a rack like this to take camping with us to hang our wet beach towels for drying. Is your coat rack sturdy of enough to use for this purpose?

my husband is currently hanging very large backpacks from every hook on ours, and it's stable.

Yes, it's sturdy enough -- but kind of awkward to take in car. Why don't you just take a rope and clothes pins, and string a rope between two trees?

I believe they are. The rack and hooks are made of steel and would holdheavy pots and pans, so a wet towel should pose no problem.

I have only used it for towels and jewelry, so I can't give an informed answer. It's aluminum, so my guess is that it wouldn't support anything heavy, like metal tools. This rack is designed for organization and visibility of smaller items. For heavy things, better to use a pegboard and hook system.

The rack is sturdy enough but certainly not heavy duty or anything. I have been using it for maternity clothes and probably have 30 items on it. If it's gets very full it starts to lean so I wouldn't putMuch more than that on it.

I bought two of them, I have had no problem with them tipping over. I would say, you cant put everything on one side on any coat rack. I would buy these again.

I would definitely say "yes." Mine has been well overloaded with clothes for the past 3.5 years, and still holding up extremely well. And, yes, the rack is collapsible.

It will accommodate full length coats without draggng the ground. I have two garment racks, this one and an industrial one. I use the industrial one to store my longer, heavier garments and this one for the laundry room. I have hung many wet shirts and pants on it and even a 5x7 rug to dry. It is definitely a stable piece, just not as heavy duty as an industrial rack as there are more pieces to this one.

No, it has velcro cloth hangers that hang on a closet rod. I am using it to store my yarn. I would think it would also hold bath towels.

I use this to hang up wet towels after I've used them to shower with and I have not found any damage to the racks or items. I believe it is safe to use for the purposes you have in mind!

The rack is made of metal with a dull black finish, looks like wrought iron, but I don't think it is because it is not as heavy as wrought iron would weigh. I have hung towels on it after showering, and it seems fine. Totally wet towels from laundering might take a while to dry. My personal opinion is that it's probably safe to use for towels. I don't know how it would hold up under long term wet use though.

No It would be too heavy~ We have used this near our woodburner for drying wet coats, snow pants, etc. this winter and I have been less than satisfied. It really does not hold up with coats and heavier items. It has fallen over several times and we have had to duct tape the middle to sturdy it up. I would say pass on this item!

I bought one of these 10 months ago to hold towels in my bathroom. I have never had anything heavier than that on it but it seems very sturdy. In a bathroom there is high humidity from the shower and if anything was going to loosen the adhesive, that would do it and it has not budged at all. I wouldn't hesitate to hang a jacket or coat on it. The adhesive seems very strong. Hope this helps.

Yes, but I think it works better for towels. If it's in a high traffic area I'd worry about the bottles being knocked out of the rack.

The rack is good for towels and toilet tisue, hanging an extra towel. If you wanted to put bottles on it you would have to fashion a peice of wood or plexiglass to form a shelf over the open grid.

It is very sturdy if installed correctly. I have a curtain, a liner and have hung several wet towels over the top and had no issues. I guess it would depend on how much weight you were going to put on it.

The rack that I purchased is very well built and will hold lots of seasonal clothes. It rolls very well and is very sturdy, no tipping, as I roll it in and out of a closet. It is well worth the money. The hanging bar is not adjustable (can not shorten).

The size of the towel bar is fine for hangers but the strength is questionable. The shelves are sturdy enough for standard size supplies but I wouldn't put gallons on them. There wouldn't be enough room for gallons either.
