Does anyone put totes on it and if so how is it holding up? I want to get something for my basement since is floods and would like something sturdy

It is awesome I have so much on mine including my ice auger. And couple totes weighing about 200 lbs.

what kind of a tote is that? The only design flaw I see that is, this shelf is NOT 72'' tall. Its 36'' tall with 2 pieces joined to make it 72'' tall. But, the problem is at the join. The top portion is standing on the bottom at thin uneven edges. That means, keep all heavy stuff on the bottom and place light weight stuff on the top shelves.

I use this rack for totes and it works just fine. Keep heavier stuff on the bottom, obviously, and it's great. Pretty sturdy. Two normal sized totes are a little snug side by side on a shelf but other than that it's fine.

I haven't had it very long but it is in my basement where it is unfinished and can be extremely cold and humid when I am doing laundry. I have seen no sign of rust at this time. I also really like the way it folds up and holds a lot of clothing!!

It isn't too bad. My husband and I carried it (a bit awkwardly) with baskets and fishing gear for maybe 1/8 of a mile. The size makes it awkward, but I think you could get it up a balcony. We don't leave ours inflated while storing it, either. Also, if you get a lot of wind, leaving it inflated may cause it to blow away.

We have had zero problems with it concerning drainage. Just remember that it does not come with anything to stake it down...we used hangers, which is holding up really well. Good luck! We think it's a really great product, and much cheaper in price than if you were to buy it at Home Depot.

I would recommend making a cover of some sorts to put over it. Heavy rain it will not hold up. I have 2,n 2 cat houses. Mine are covered w a tarp n insulation boards. They love them

The unit is quite sturdy. I have a ton of items on mine and have not experienced a single problem. It's also very attractive!

I hang several jackets, umbrellas, and even my purse on it without any problems. I do have baskets on the shelves and one on the bottom gets the tossed mail I don't want to go through right away so it has some weight to it. That might help with stability.

We put some cement blocks on the bottom to hold it. Its not super strong but with the cement we have not had a problem.

Agree with the two other answers. I am very pleased with this tote. Would purchase another.

I packed and repacked several of the bags as my space requirements changed. I had no issues. As I am using them in a damp basement, I have them inside of large plastic containers so that they don't tear on the cement floor. Perhaps that is why they have lasted. Be gentle with them and they should give you reusable service. I use the tille pump that you can buy for under $10. It is perfect for the bags. The roll up bags never pack as flat as the pump style.

We did not use our during the winter yet. We had it up in August and it survived some high winds from summer storms without any issues. I was impressed on how sturdy and easy to assemble it was for the price :) Hope this helps

I've had mine hanging in my basement for about a year and haven't had any problems. I use it regularly but haven't moved it since I first hung it up. I live in Michigan and my basement stays 50-65 F.

The clothes rack is not very portable if breaking down for shows etc. It is very well made and sturdy. I keep it in the basement with all my heavy winter coats etc. Hope this helps.

We've held at least that much without a problem. My main concern would be lateral stability (i.e. if you bump it walking by, I think it may topple or have a leg slide out). When put together it is quite sturdy and strong.

Pre-drill the holes. Then use a ratchet wrentch to grab the bolts. If you have your bag in the basement then it might be wise to but two of these and mount on opposing rafters so you can hold a decent heavy bag.

I've only had it about 2 weeks but did set it up in the backyard. It seems sturdy enough. Imounless a hurricane comes through I think it would hold up ok. The corners are galvanized.

It's really not that bad. I was hesitant but I thought Wiley not and bought it. I hang more than 3 lbs every laundry day and it holds up well. If you inundate it to much it will have a tendency to want to topple.
