I bought this because it didn't require assembly. I thought it would be really good to be able to just take it out of the box and use it. Unfortunately, despite what the details say (see screenshot), there is some assembly THAT DOES REQUIRE EFFORT. If you have arthritis or are not strong enough you can't push it together. I had to find someone to help me push the racks in. For many people who buy this that will not be a problem. Just know that it does require some minimal assembly. The actual unit is sturdy and compact yet opens wide enough to be usable. I like it very much. (The only thing I don't like is the fact that it says it says it's ready to use when it's not.) I still would recommend it if you have the ability to push the racks in because it isn't hard-it just requires strength that some of us don't have.

I use this almost every time I do laundry. It was easy to assemble and folds up incredibly quickly and small to stash in closet between times. My husband asked where I was keeping it and was surprised when I showed him how small it was to stash in a very small, crowded laundry area. Delicates, such as wool socks and athletic wear that would not do well in dryer I can hang on this to dry and extend their lifetime.
