I bought clothes drying rack in your store. It came in a compact package, so I knew it required assembly. Luckily, a pretty good assembly manual was included. However, I would like to point out a few minor details that might need adjustment.
First: in picture A2, pipes 6 and 7 are exactly the same length. In part list, there is a mention that pipe 6 is 40 cm long and pipe 7 is 69 cm long, but because I am a male, I find it hard to read manuals. In the future, it might be best to use the correct scale.
Second: I think it is a great idea that every part has a sticker with a part number. Makes it much easier to try to guess which part is which. The manual also uses those numbers admirably. However, I couldn’t find parts number 6, and there were too many parts number 9. About halfway through, I noticed that if you take part 9 and turn it upside down, it becomes part 6. Luckily, I was only halfway there, so I didn’t need to disassemble the whole thing.
Third: the manual said that security hooks need to be put in opposite directions. There wasn’t any kind of explanation why, and I thought it would be more logical to put them in the same direction, so I did.
Fourth: the manual said, “Attach retainers to joints, you should hear an audible response when they are in place”. There should be a mention that retainers are really stiff, and that you shouldn’t hold your finger on a pipe when you force the retainer onto it. Now there was a very audible response from my mouth when my finger was caught between the pipe and the retainer.
Fifth: when the whole thing was assembled, and I spread it open, I noticed that the security hooks, mentioned in part three, should have been placed in opposite directions because the wings are in opposite directions. At this point, I had to disassemble the whole frame, so I could place them right. If this had been explained, I wouldn’t have to do this.
Sixth: there are 4 wheels, two with brakes and two without. But there is nothing in the manual about how you should place them. So I placed them on the left side, instead of being at the front or back. When they are on a side, the rack will move when clothes are put on it. I moved them back, and now it’s fine. Btw, they were stuck unbelievably hard, took two cursing adults to get them off.
All’s well when the end is well. The rack is now ready. Askew as hell, wings pointing one here, other there, but I do believe this will bring me much joy. My finger already stopped bleeding, and I think it will be good as new in a couple of weeks.
