Can the wings support heavy items, like wet jeans, sweatshirts, etc?

It can, however you need to hang it between 2 bars instead of one. (Hard to describe, but easy to do) Therefor you have less bars available for hanging stuff. You also will need to put some clothes on the other side wing to balance it out. It works best if you hang the heavy stuff close to the center of the rack. I am a bit disappointed because some of my lower bars have started to break. The only thing I hang on the lower bars are socks and bras and they are not heavy so I don't know why they are breaking. I would like to get a better quality product, but they don't sell better quality racks in the US. Next time I go to Europe, I'm bringing a good quality one home with me.

Yes. It's extremely sturdy, with strong bars - they don't bend. We've had it for years now - still works and looks like new. You can hang pounds of clothes on it, and it folds easily.

Yes, depending on how you arrange the heavier items. I tend to put the heavy cotton items towards the center were the most support it. Socks, bras, underwear, hand towels, etc., I place on either end on the diagonal bars and on the lower shelf. I don't think I would put 6 pair of jeans on the rack but experiment and you'll get the hang of it fast.

yes, it is pretty sturdy. You may have to balance it a bit on the other side, but I have had no problems. This is a great item. I love it.

I wouldn't put more than 1 pair on each side. You can then put t-shirts, etc. in between the other rungs. I have had it loaded with wet towels and washcloths and it held up beautifully. I think as long as you balance it on each side you won't have a problem. Good luck!

If they've been spun dry it will be no problems. If only hand washed and wrung I still think it would be ok. Just be sure to balance the items so that one side isn't weighted more than the other.

Hi -- I took these on a trip and they were surprisingly sturdy. I used them for hanging up a lot of wet dresses, t-shirt dresses, etc. after washing. They should definitely handle the weight of wet-t-shirts and a light jacket.

I don't know that they're made for real heavy items. The smaller size works great for out of season clothing. These XXL ones I love for bedding...I keep the extra comforter, blanket(s) and a set of sheets in these on the top shelf of the closet in each room. They also work well for extra sets of towels, etc.

Probably. It's heavy, but not sure how it would support a clothesline full of wet sheets/towels, etc.

Just fabric supported by metal frame. We have shoes and clothes on it with no problems.

You could easily fit a set of extra clothes inside, although extra shoes might be a little much. The top handle does not have a cable running through it, however it is still fairly sturdy.

I would think they would! They are quite sturdy. I don't think you could hang jeans or heavy wet shirts, but I think for T-shirts or dish towels, they would work fine

Yes, no problem. Mine was able to hold 15-18 pieces of wet clothing fairly well for about 6 months of loading it up once or twice a week. It always seemed a bit wobbly in the middle. One day when my husband was trying to pass by it in a hallway, he leaned it a bit and the center pole cracked in the middle. It's a shame that the plastic connector (in the middle of the tall pole) isn't stronger because it creates a lot of plastic and metal waste when one important plastic part breaks.

No, they are adjustable up/down., you can buy one without the wings for a cheaper price.

I wouldn't recommend it especially since I don't know if the end pieces alone can hold up the weight of your clothing.

I don't think so. They are fairly sturdy, but if there is major (gale force) wind, you might need to weigh them down with something. But just regular breezes won't be an issue.

No. The metal frame is too rigid and big. You'll also have trouble on most overhead bins. I take a soft side pack on planes.

I have not weighed everything, but I have sweaters and shoes on the floor and FULL of hanging clothes. works for me.... Don't want to move it around when full

The bars can hold quite a bit. I hang several pairs of wet jeans on them, right out of the spin cycle. I can't speak to dripping wet jeans. You could hang one pair on a center rod for balance, or pairs on each side to balance it. It's a sturdy drying rack.

Yes, you can. It is quite study and made very well to support big items. Very pleased with this purchase.

They are solid. You should know I use this as a lingerie chest. I can not say it would for heavy items.

I would say so, but like stilegal says, I would be careful as to how much you put in to it at one time if the items are heavy. The handles are great, and it is big, so there is no problem there.
