Can anyone recommend a clothes drying rack that lasts?

I invested in the lakeland drysoon airer, it's electric and fairly cheap to run, but I use it unplugged as a normal airer when the weather allows. It's lasted.Mortgage balance April 2022 - £235,000

I once bought an old-fashioned clothes airer from these people:

Pricey, but excellent quality & you’d only ever need to buy it once.

I have one of these, best money i have ever spent. Clothes are put across two bars to distribute the weight and so that there is a gap between the wet folds of clothes, which means they dry quicker.

I have one of these:

I can recommend it. Pricey right now but I paid £67 at the time.1 -
I suppose how long they last will depend on how you abuse them. We have the ones that now cost £10 in Lidl alongside the identical one we bought in Germany in the 1980s which is still in perfect working order and been in constant use.

Another vote for Minky. In fact I've had that one for several years. I paid around £20 for it and it doesn't buckle under the weight of towels or jeans & jumpers. Also have a smaller Minky, again, been using it for many years.shiraz99 said:Never had any problems with my Minky airer - https://www.argos.co.uk/product/3896871?clickPR=plp:8:7

I also have a Minky. About six years old from Dunelm. I'm very pleased with it.
