One and a third pounds, folding to 2 in thick - this rack hangs from a door, a balcony rail or a radiator rather than standing on the floor, and comes off entirely when it is not in use. Adjustable brackets open from 1.2 to 5.1 in to grip whatever it is hooked over. Seven aluminum bars spaced 2 in apart take shirts, towels and smaller washing. The aluminum resists rust and handles heat to 482 F, so a hot radiator is no problem. Open it measures 25.5 x 17 x 9 in. Silver bars with black brackets, and an instruction sheet.
