This is the first thing from Lakeland I haven’t been happy with. I thought this was a great idea to be able to pull the washing up out of the way. In reality as soon as you extend it it bends and you can’t lock the poles into the extended position. The pulleys are dreadful and the cord swaps over runners and doesn’t pull up and down properly, especially when empty and there is no weight to it. I genuinely don’t think this is going to last long at all.

Brilliant product. Using it in our utility room above the sink to save floor space. Fits lots of when extended but doesn’t take up too much room when compact. Feels sturdy and have dried jeans on it too.

This is a sturdy, great looking airer, that has unfortunately been fitted with a very ugly, plastic rope that hugely detracts from the overall aesthetic of the item. In addition, the plastic rope has been melted very inexpertly, making it look lumpy and cheap. I have just finished replacing this rope with a high quality, cotton cord, but for the price this should be standard, frankly

This was just the design that I wanted, but was too light weight and flimsy unfortunately. Lakeland customer service is always excellent, so I returned it for a refund without any problem at all. But will be looking for something wooden and more robust than this.

I am used to a big wooden airer but wanted to try this as short on ceiling space. Very lightweight, almost flimsy. No ropes but uses nylon cording instead. It is super neat and tidy. It only takes about half a load of washing which is fine for my husband and I but may not suit a family. There are 2 joints per pole which allow the airer to telescope into itself for size. Mine seems to buckle at one joint which is why I say it appears flimsy. Saying that it does the job. I probably wouldn’t have bought it if seen beforehand but as long as it continues to do it’s job I will keep it.
