Can the verticle supports be pushed down low into the base, so that the rack could be used by a very young (or short) child?

Hello! Thank you for your interest in Whitmor 6021-4298 Ebony Chrome Collection Extendable Garment Rack. Unfortunately, the chrome vertical pole could not be pushed down into the black vertical tube to make it shorter. The height is not adjustable in our newer models. It does feature an extendable upper hanging bar and wheels for easy mobility. If you have additional questions regarding this item feel free to contact our Customer Service Department, Monday-Friday 8am-4:30pm (CST) at (888) 944-8667 or email us at help@whitmor.com. Have a great day!

The upper half of the vertical supports cannot be pushed into the base but can be left out/removed during assembly and simply attach the horizontal bar to the lower half of the vertical support. This effectively makes the garment rack half the height of its normal design and would be suitable for a child.

Unfortunately no. You can't change the height at all only extend the sides a little.

Hi, You could, but it would need to lean on something.. the base isn't super sturdy and it might get too heavy with tons of polish on it.

i don't think it will fold down low enough. There is a different style of rack that swings out of the way similar to a rear tire on the back of some SUV

Not a good idea - the lower shelf would either become a place to put feet [it's just not sturdy enough for that], or would bang people's shins and ankles.

Not really because there are metal bars that go under and it will be uneven for the child. Best for platform bed or frame bed.

Would not be very stable as is. You need to add some support to the bottom.

The problem isn't so much the sturdiness of the rack, but the fact that it is so lightweight. If you can place it in a cupboard where it is firmly braced on two sides, then it's OK. If you can't brace it and use it for something heavy, it tips over.

Yes, if the customization allows for the size and shape of the rack. It wouldn't ordinarily be able to balance in the vertical position.

Yes, it's possible but it may not be as sturdy as you would like in child's bedroom. I would limit the stack to three and that might defeat your purpose of vertical space.

Yes. Just don't leave a small kid on it unsupervised. Their legs can slip through the holes in the woven top. They could get trapped or hurt.

I think the rack is flimsy. A 12" kid's bike isn't going to work on the rack well. This rack sounds great in description, but in reality need to be re engineered.

The overall height of the rack is not adjustable. You can adjust the height of the side pieces than support the lower hanging rod. I would think that the two shelves at the bottom and top provide stability for the rack overall.

That's how I am using them as well. I don't belive a toddler would be able to pull them over, they are very well balanced and once you add your vegatables the weight would make it very hard for a small child to tip.

Pretty much. My daughter kept getting her feet stuck between the bars. It doesn't have a good support system

No definitely not! It is not even sturdy enough when my 2 year old leans on the bottom shelf- sorry!

No it is not suitable for a toddler to push. It's just too small and short for that purpose.

YES, but it's low as it's meant to put your feet on. Would be a great child's seat as it rocks but it's very stable and only rocks a small amount.....
