As a child we had a model like this. I remembered it always worked well so bought this one when I needed to replace my old thin metal frame airer. I'm very pleased with it. The wider drying rails leave less creases on the clothes and improve drying space between clothes. The bars are aluminium so don't mark the clothes.

I purchased this as a replacement for a similar airier that I loved. Unfortunately this concertina airer is useless. It won’t take pegs. The wooden retaining pegs at the base are very flimsy and tricky to use without the contraption collapsing on your fingers as it a devil to put up. I end up standing on the bottom rung to try and hold it in place. The bars are far too close together once assembled. No air flows through the garments making drying of airing time very long. This has been a complete waste of money. It’s not fit for purpose.

I had unfortunately had more than one bad experience with the airers but the customer care team were amazing help and were able to resolve my issues. Well done team and thank you!

I'd been wanting a wooden airer to replace an old plastic coated one & this one with metal rungs seemed ideal. Sadly, I am hugely disappointed with it. The placing of the cut outs for the base rung is very poor & it feels like there should be a middle setting. At the lower height, the bottom rungs are wasted as everything trails on the floor. At both heights rungs are too close together so there is a lack of space between items, not ideal for drying or airing. My old airer had twice the space & no bigger footprint. I would have returned but it was wrapped in cardboard which I'd ripped off.

Excellent product. Strong and sturdy. The last one of these I have had for 40 years. Let’s hope this one does as well.
