Misleading description
Described as "Chrome", I assumed that it was made out of metal. It is not, it's chromed plastic. I was looking for a heavy duty clothesline for my application. I'm afraid that the plastic base will break so I haven't used it.
very cheap item, better off with all-steel hotel quality version
I bought this item after I found out Restoration Hardware no longer stocks the hotel-quality version which I love.
The plasticized construction feels really cheap and will not hold well over time (the chrome finish could easily be scratched or peel off). The mounting on the wall is not very stable, again blamed by the flimsy plastic construction. But most importantly, there is no locking or tightening mechanism for the clothesline, so even a weight of a wet t-shirt will cause the line to sag a lot. Don't even think of hanging anything more than a couple lightweight shirts, pants are out of the question.
I'd recommend splurging $30 for a hotel-quality all-stainless steel version -- it's definately worth the money.
Flashy Trash from China
Although this design has an uncanny similarity to the Franklin Brass model retractable clothes line used by hotels around the world, this is just a cheap, plastic imitation that's made in China and a waste of good money.
Buyer, be ware!
