6ft Black Heavy Duty Clothes Rail: 160kg SATRA Certified, 32mm Steel, Single-Tier Workhorse

Every high street retailer sells a clothes rail. Most of them quote impressive weight ratings on the listing and hope nobody asks where the number came from. This rail is different. The RA9572 is independently tested by SATRA to 160kg under BS EN 16121, the British and European standard for non-domestic storage furniture. The full laboratory report is downloadable. The 32mm powder-coated steel frame is the commercial-grade specification that stays straight under a full load where thinner 19mm and 25mm domestic alternatives flex, bow and fail within months. One continuous 6ft hanging run with no centre bar. Tool-free click-lock assembly. Four castors. The rail you load up and forget about.

6ft wide (1,830mm). Height 1,550mm (5ft). Depth 510mm. Weight 8.1kg. 32mm powder-coated matte black steel frame. 160kg independently tested load capacity. BS EN 16121 certified (clauses 6.1.1 and 6.1.16). Single continuous hanging bar with no centre divider. Tool-free push-pin click-lock assembly by one person in minutes. Four smooth-rolling castor wheels. Matte black finish. UK-designed by Displaysense since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.

Why This Rail Outperforms Every High Street Alternative

  • 160kg SATRA certified, not estimated: Independently tested under BS EN 16121. The full report is downloadable. High street rails quote weight ratings with nothing behind them. This one has the paperwork. If you are buying for a school, an NHS trust or any organisation requiring compliance evidence, the certification exists.
  • 32mm powder-coated steel, the commercial benchmark: At 32mm, the bar stays straight under a full load. Domestic rails at 19mm or 25mm flex and sag within weeks. The matte black powder coat resists the daily scuffs, hanger marks and handling that strip cheaper painted finishes bare inside a season.
  • Full 6ft uninterrupted hanging run: No centre bar splitting the span. One continuous rail from end to end lets you slide garments freely, which matters for browsing displays and high-density stock loading where obstruction slows everything down.
  • Tool-free click-lock assembly in under five minutes: Every joint connects with a spring-loaded push pin. One person, no screws, no Allen keys. Dismantles just as fast for events, seasonal changes or relocation between sites. The mechanism maintains full structural integrity through repeated assembly cycles.
  • Four smooth-rolling castors included: Roll the rail across a shop floor, between stockroom aisles or from room to room at home without unloading. The castors fit during assembly and handle the full 160kg load on hard floors.
  • UK-designed by Displaysense since 1978: Not sourced from a generic catalogue. Every specification is chosen by our in-house team for professional commercial use.

Where This Rail Earns Its Place

Retail Shop Floors, Fashion Mid-floor garment displays, end-of-aisle features and seasonal ranges. The uninterrupted 6ft span lets customers browse freely without a centre bar breaking the flow. The 160kg capacity handles dense commercial stock loads that lighter rails buckle under within months.
Stockrooms, Back of House Seasonal stock holding, delivery processing and pick-and-pack areas. Load it to capacity and wheel it where it needs to go. The click-lock assembly means you reconfigure a space in minutes without tools or drama when the layout changes.
Events, Exhibitions, Pop-Up Merchandise displays at trade shows, backstage garment holding at fashion events and branded pop-up shops. Assembles in the car park, rolls straight onto the stand. Breaks down into the van at the end of the day without tools.
Hotels, Hospitality, Cloakrooms Housekeeping stores, linen rooms and conference cloakrooms. Robust enough for daily commercial use at 160kg certified capacity. The matte black finish is presentable enough for guest-facing areas where appearance matters alongside function.
Schools, NHS, Public Sector Uniform stores, drama departments, lost property rooms and NHS linen areas. BS EN 16121 certification provides the documented compliance evidence that school, trust and council procurement teams require before they can raise a purchase order.
Bedrooms, Dressing Rooms, Home An open wardrobe that looks like a design choice, not a temporary fix. The matte black frame and clean proportions suit loft conversions, spare rooms and walk-in wardrobes where furniture needs to work hard and look sharp at the same time.

Need Dust Protection or Double the Capacity?

The 6ft clear clothes rail cover fits this rail exactly, keeping garments clean during storage or transit. For double the hanging capacity in the same floor footprint, the 6ft two-tier heavy duty rail adds an adjustable centre bar and height extension bars while sharing the same 160kg certification and 32mm frame.

Displaysense RA9572 6ft Black Heavy Duty Clothes Rail. Single-tier freestanding garment rail. 32mm powder-coated matte black steel frame. 160kg independently tested by SATRA under BS EN 16121 (clauses 6.1.1 and 6.1.16). 1550mm H x 1830mm W x 510mm D. Weight 8.1kg. Single continuous hanging bar with no centre divider. Tool-free push-pin click-lock assembly. Four smooth-rolling castor wheels. Suitable for retail displays, stockrooms, exhibitions, hotels, schools, NHS and home wardrobes. Available in 2ft to 6ft widths and in black, white and chrome. UK-designed by Displaysense since 1978. For two-tier version see RA9594X. Displaysense, UK garment storage specialists since 1978.

There is a reason this is one of the most reordered products in our range. The 6ft black heavy duty clothes rail does one job and does it exceptionally well: it holds a large volume of garments on a single, uninterrupted 1830mm hanging run without bowing, wobbling or giving way. The frame is 32mm powder-coated steel, the load capacity is 160kg independently certified by SATRA, and the matte black finish shrugs off the daily wear that strips cheaper rails bare within a season. One person assembles it in minutes with no tools. Four castors roll it across the floor fully loaded.

What separates this from the budget rails crowding the market is not just the weight rating. It is the fact that the weight rating is real. We publish the BS EN 16121 test report because too many competitors quote impressive numbers with nothing behind them. Ours is documented, independently verified by SATRA and available to download. If you are buying for a school, an NHS trust, a council or any organisation that requires compliance evidence before raising a purchase order, the paperwork exists and it is genuine. When a high street rail claims "heavy duty" without an independent test certificate, the claim is marketing copy. When this rail claims 160kg, it is a laboratory result with a report number, a testing methodology and a signature from an independent examiner.

The rail stands 1,550mm tall, a height that works equally well for retail browsing and home wardrobes. At 510mm deep, the footprint sits against a wall or in an aisle without dominating the space. The whole thing weighs 8.1kg, so one person carries it from a delivery van, through a building and has it assembled and loaded within ten minutes. Every joint uses a spring-loaded push pin that clicks into place by hand and releases just as easily.

At home, this rail works as a permanent open wardrobe rather than a temporary fix. The proportions and the matte black finish are deliberately chosen to look like furniture, not like something borrowed from a warehouse. It suits loft conversions where built-in wardrobes are not practical, spare bedrooms doubling as dressing rooms, hallway cloakrooms, and anyone whose wardrobe has outgrown their cupboard space. The castors mean you roll it aside when you need the floor back. The click-lock means it breaks down flat in two minutes if you need to move house or reclaim the room.

Questions About This 6ft Black Heavy Duty Clothes Rail

Q: What does the 160kg rating actually mean?

A: This rail is independently tested by SATRA to 160kg under BS EN 16121, the British and European standard for non-domestic storage furniture. The full laboratory report is downloadable from the product page. When a high street rail claims "heavy duty" without an independent test certificate, the claim is marketing. This rating is a documented laboratory result with a report number and an independent examiner's signature.

Q: Why does SATRA certification matter?

A: Most rails on the market quote weight ratings with nothing behind them. SATRA is an independent testing laboratory. BS EN 16121 governs strength, safety and stability for commercial furniture. If you are buying for a school, NHS trust or council, this certification is the document procurement teams need to see before raising a purchase order.

Q: Why is 32mm steel important?

A: Domestic rails typically use 19mm or 25mm tubing. At those diameters, the hanging bar flexes under load, bows in the middle as garments accumulate and loses rigidity within months of regular use. The 32mm tube on this rail is the commercial-grade specification that stays straight under a full 160kg load day after day. The powder coat finish is thermally bonded, not painted, resisting the scuffs and hanger marks that strip thinner finishes bare within a season.

Q: How easy is assembly?

A: Every joint uses a spring-loaded push pin. One person clicks the frame together in under five minutes with no tools, no screws and no Allen keys. Dismantles just as quickly for events, seasonal storage or relocation.

Q: Why single-tier instead of two-tier?

A: The single-tier gives you one continuous 6ft hanging run from end to end with no centre bar splitting the span. Garments slide freely for browsing displays and high-density loading. If you need double the hanging capacity in the same floor footprint, the two-tier version (RA9594X) adds an adjustable centre bar while sharing the same 160kg certification and 32mm frame.

Q: Can I move this rail when it is fully loaded?

A: Yes. Four smooth-rolling castor wheels are included and fit during assembly. Roll the rail across hard floors at full capacity between stockroom and shop floor, between rooms or to a loading bay without unloading.

Q: Will this fit through a standard doorway?

A: Yes. The rail has a depth of 510mm, which fits through standard internal doorways without disassembly even when fully assembled with the castors fitted. Move it between stockroom and shop floor, between rooms in a home or from a delivery van through a building entrance. The compact depth also means the rail sits against a wall or in an aisle without dominating the space or obstructing foot traffic around it.

Q: Is this suitable for home use?

A: Yes. The matte black finish and clean proportions are chosen to look like furniture, not like something borrowed from a warehouse. It suits loft conversions, spare bedrooms, walk-in wardrobes and anyone whose wardrobe has outgrown their cupboard space.

Q: How does the matte black finish hold up?

A: The powder coat is thermally bonded, not painted. It resists the daily scuffs, hanger marks and handling that strip cheaper painted finishes bare within a season. After a year of commercial use it looks the same as the day it was assembled.

Q: How many garments does this hold?

A: The 160kg certified capacity equates to a large volume of garments depending on weight and hanger width. The full 6ft uninterrupted span maximises hanging density because there is no centre bar consuming usable rail space.

Q: Is this available in other sizes or colours?

A: Yes. The same 160kg certified specification is available in 2ft, 3ft, 4ft, 5ft and 6ft widths, and in black, white and chrome finishes. All share the same BS EN 16121 certification and tool-free assembly.

Q: Is there a dust cover for this rail?

A: Yes. The 6ft clear clothes rail cover is designed to fit this rail exactly, keeping garments clean and dust-free during storage, transit or seasonal holding. The cover slips over the loaded rail and zips closed. Available as a separate order on this site. For stockrooms, warehouse environments and seasonal stock holding where garments sit on the rail for extended periods between use, the cover keeps everything presentable without needing to bag individual items.

A: The powder coat is thermally bonded, not painted. It resists the daily scuffs, hanger marks and handling that strip cheaper painted finishes bare within a season. After a year of commercial use it looks the same as the day it was assembled.

Q: How many garments does this hold?

A: The 160kg certified capacity equates to a large volume of garments depending on weight and hanger width. The full 6ft uninterrupted span maximises hanging density because there is no centre bar consuming usable rail space.

Q: Is this available in other sizes or colours?

A: Yes. The same 160kg certified specification is available in 2ft, 3ft, 4ft, 5ft and 6ft widths, and in black, white and chrome finishes. All share the same BS EN 16121 certification and tool-free assembly.

Q: Is there a dust cover for this rail?

A: Yes. The 6ft clear clothes rail cover is designed to fit this rail exactly, keeping garments clean and dust-free during storage, transit or seasonal holding. The cover slips over the loaded rail and zips closed. Available as a separate order on this site. For stockrooms, warehouse environments and seasonal stock holding where garments sit on the rail for extended periods between use, the cover keeps everything presentable without needing to bag individual items.

6ft Black Heavy Duty Clothes Rail: 160kg SATRA Certified, 32mm Steel, Single-Tier Workhorse

Every high street retailer sells a clothes rail. Most of them quote impressive weight ratings on the listing and hope nobody asks where the number came from. This rail is different. The RA9572 is independently tested by SATRA to 160kg under BS EN 16121, the British and European standard for non-domestic storage furniture. The full laboratory report is downloadable. The 32mm powder-coated steel frame is the commercial-grade specification that stays straight under a full load where thinner 19mm and 25mm domestic alternatives flex, bow and fail within months. One continuous 6ft hanging run with no centre bar. Tool-free click-lock assembly. Four castors. The rail you load up and forget about.

6ft wide (1,830mm). Height 1,550mm (5ft). Depth 510mm. Weight 8.1kg. 32mm powder-coated matte black steel frame. 160kg independently tested load capacity. BS EN 16121 certified (clauses 6.1.1 and 6.1.16). Single continuous hanging bar with no centre divider. Tool-free push-pin click-lock assembly by one person in minutes. Four smooth-rolling castor wheels. Matte black finish. UK-designed by Displaysense since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.

Why This Rail Outperforms Every High Street Alternative

  • 160kg SATRA certified, not estimated: Independently tested under BS EN 16121. The full report is downloadable. High street rails quote weight ratings with nothing behind them. This one has the paperwork. If you are buying for a school, an NHS trust or any organisation requiring compliance evidence, the certification exists.
  • 32mm powder-coated steel, the commercial benchmark: At 32mm, the bar stays straight under a full load. Domestic rails at 19mm or 25mm flex and sag within weeks. The matte black powder coat resists the daily scuffs, hanger marks and handling that strip cheaper painted finishes bare inside a season.
  • Full 6ft uninterrupted hanging run: No centre bar splitting the span. One continuous rail from end to end lets you slide garments freely, which matters for browsing displays and high-density stock loading where obstruction slows everything down.
  • Tool-free click-lock assembly in under five minutes: Every joint connects with a spring-loaded push pin. One person, no screws, no Allen keys. Dismantles just as fast for events, seasonal changes or relocation between sites. The mechanism maintains full structural integrity through repeated assembly cycles.
  • Four smooth-rolling castors included: Roll the rail across a shop floor, between stockroom aisles or from room to room at home without unloading. The castors fit during assembly and handle the full 160kg load on hard floors.
  • UK-designed by Displaysense since 1978: Not sourced from a generic catalogue. Every specification is chosen by our in-house team for professional commercial use.

Where This Rail Earns Its Place

Retail Shop Floors, Fashion Mid-floor garment displays, end-of-aisle features and seasonal ranges. The uninterrupted 6ft span lets customers browse freely without a centre bar breaking the flow. The 160kg capacity handles dense commercial stock loads that lighter rails buckle under within months.
Stockrooms, Back of House Seasonal stock holding, delivery processing and pick-and-pack areas. Load it to capacity and wheel it where it needs to go. The click-lock assembly means you reconfigure a space in minutes without tools or drama when the layout changes.
Events, Exhibitions, Pop-Up Merchandise displays at trade shows, backstage garment holding at fashion events and branded pop-up shops. Assembles in the car park, rolls straight onto the stand. Breaks down into the van at the end of the day without tools.
Hotels, Hospitality, Cloakrooms Housekeeping stores, linen rooms and conference cloakrooms. Robust enough for daily commercial use at 160kg certified capacity. The matte black finish is presentable enough for guest-facing areas where appearance matters alongside function.
Schools, NHS, Public Sector Uniform stores, drama departments, lost property rooms and NHS linen areas. BS EN 16121 certification provides the documented compliance evidence that school, trust and council procurement teams require before they can raise a purchase order.
Bedrooms, Dressing Rooms, Home An open wardrobe that looks like a design choice, not a temporary fix. The matte black frame and clean proportions suit loft conversions, spare rooms and walk-in wardrobes where furniture needs to work hard and look sharp at the same time.

Need Dust Protection or Double the Capacity?

The 6ft clear clothes rail cover fits this rail exactly, keeping garments clean during storage or transit. For double the hanging capacity in the same floor footprint, the 6ft two-tier heavy duty rail adds an adjustable centre bar and height extension bars while sharing the same 160kg certification and 32mm frame.

Displaysense RA9572 6ft Black Heavy Duty Clothes Rail. Single-tier freestanding garment rail. 32mm powder-coated matte black steel frame. 160kg independently tested by SATRA under BS EN 16121 (clauses 6.1.1 and 6.1.16). 1550mm H x 1830mm W x 510mm D. Weight 8.1kg. Single continuous hanging bar with no centre divider. Tool-free push-pin click-lock assembly. Four smooth-rolling castor wheels. Suitable for retail displays, stockrooms, exhibitions, hotels, schools, NHS and home wardrobes. Available in 2ft to 6ft widths and in black, white and chrome. UK-designed by Displaysense since 1978. For two-tier version see RA9594X. Displaysense, UK garment storage specialists since 1978.

There is a reason this is one of the most reordered products in our range. The 6ft black heavy duty clothes rail does one job and does it exceptionally well: it holds a large volume of garments on a single, uninterrupted 1830mm hanging run without bowing, wobbling or giving way. The frame is 32mm powder-coated steel, the load capacity is 160kg independently certified by SATRA, and the matte black finish shrugs off the daily wear that strips cheaper rails bare within a season. One person assembles it in minutes with no tools. Four castors roll it across the floor fully loaded.

What separates this from the budget rails crowding the market is not just the weight rating. It is the fact that the weight rating is real. We publish the BS EN 16121 test report because too many competitors quote impressive numbers with nothing behind them. Ours is documented, independently verified by SATRA and available to download. If you are buying for a school, an NHS trust, a council or any organisation that requires compliance evidence before raising a purchase order, the paperwork exists and it is genuine. When a high street rail claims "heavy duty" without an independent test certificate, the claim is marketing copy. When this rail claims 160kg, it is a laboratory result with a report number, a testing methodology and a signature from an independent examiner.

The rail stands 1,550mm tall, a height that works equally well for retail browsing and home wardrobes. At 510mm deep, the footprint sits against a wall or in an aisle without dominating the space. The whole thing weighs 8.1kg, so one person carries it from a delivery van, through a building and has it assembled and loaded within ten minutes. Every joint uses a spring-loaded push pin that clicks into place by hand and releases just as easily.

At home, this rail works as a permanent open wardrobe rather than a temporary fix. The proportions and the matte black finish are deliberately chosen to look like furniture, not like something borrowed from a warehouse. It suits loft conversions where built-in wardrobes are not practical, spare bedrooms doubling as dressing rooms, hallway cloakrooms, and anyone whose wardrobe has outgrown their cupboard space. The castors mean you roll it aside when you need the floor back. The click-lock means it breaks down flat in two minutes if you need to move house or reclaim the room.

Questions About This 6ft Black Heavy Duty Clothes Rail

Q: What does the 160kg rating actually mean?

A: This rail is independently tested by SATRA to 160kg under BS EN 16121, the British and European standard for non-domestic storage furniture. The full laboratory report is downloadable from the product page. When a high street rail claims "heavy duty" without an independent test certificate, the claim is marketing. This rating is a documented laboratory result with a report number and an independent examiner's signature.

Q: Why does SATRA certification matter?

A: Most rails on the market quote weight ratings with nothing behind them. SATRA is an independent testing laboratory. BS EN 16121 governs strength, safety and stability for commercial furniture. If you are buying for a school, NHS trust or council, this certification is the document procurement teams need to see before raising a purchase order.

Q: Why is 32mm steel important?

A: Domestic rails typically use 19mm or 25mm tubing. At those diameters, the hanging bar flexes under load, bows in the middle as garments accumulate and loses rigidity within months of regular use. The 32mm tube on this rail is the commercial-grade specification that stays straight under a full 160kg load day after day. The powder coat finish is thermally bonded, not painted, resisting the scuffs and hanger marks that strip thinner finishes bare within a season.

Q: How easy is assembly?

A: Every joint uses a spring-loaded push pin. One person clicks the frame together in under five minutes with no tools, no screws and no Allen keys. Dismantles just as quickly for events, seasonal storage or relocation.

Q: Why single-tier instead of two-tier?

A: The single-tier gives you one continuous 6ft hanging run from end to end with no centre bar splitting the span. Garments slide freely for browsing displays and high-density loading. If you need double the hanging capacity in the same floor footprint, the two-tier version (RA9594X) adds an adjustable centre bar while sharing the same 160kg certification and 32mm frame.

Q: Can I move this rail when it is fully loaded?

A: Yes. Four smooth-rolling castor wheels are included and fit during assembly. Roll the rail across hard floors at full capacity between stockroom and shop floor, between rooms or to a loading bay without unloading.

Q: Will this fit through a standard doorway?

A: Yes. The rail has a depth of 510mm, which fits through standard internal doorways without disassembly even when fully assembled with the castors fitted. Move it between stockroom and shop floor, between rooms in a home or from a delivery van through a building entrance. The compact depth also means the rail sits against a wall or in an aisle without dominating the space or obstructing foot traffic around it.

Q: Is this suitable for home use?

A: Yes. The matte black finish and clean proportions are chosen to look like furniture, not like something borrowed from a warehouse. It suits loft conversions, spare bedrooms, walk-in wardrobes and anyone whose wardrobe has outgrown their cupboard space.

Q: How does the matte black finish hold up?

A: The powder coat is thermally bonded, not painted. It resists the daily scuffs, hanger marks and handling that strip cheaper painted finishes bare within a season. After a year of commercial use it looks the same as the day it was assembled.

Q: How many garments does this hold?

A: The 160kg certified capacity equates to a large volume of garments depending on weight and hanger width. The full 6ft uninterrupted span maximises hanging density because there is no centre bar consuming usable rail space.

Q: Is this available in other sizes or colours?

A: Yes. The same 160kg certified specification is available in 2ft, 3ft, 4ft, 5ft and 6ft widths, and in black, white and chrome finishes. All share the same BS EN 16121 certification and tool-free assembly.

Q: Is there a dust cover for this rail?

A: Yes. The 6ft clear clothes rail cover is designed to fit this rail exactly, keeping garments clean and dust-free during storage, transit or seasonal holding. The cover slips over the loaded rail and zips closed. Available as a separate order on this site. For stockrooms, warehouse environments and seasonal stock holding where garments sit on the rail for extended periods between use, the cover keeps everything presentable without needing to bag individual items.

A: Most rails on the market quote weight ratings with nothing behind them. SATRA is an independent testing laboratory. BS EN 16121 governs strength, safety and stability for commercial furniture. If you are buying for a school, NHS trust or council, this certification is the document procurement teams need to see before raising a purchase order.

Q: Why is 32mm steel important?

A: Domestic rails typically use 19mm or 25mm tubing. At those diameters, the hanging bar flexes under load, bows in the middle as garments accumulate and loses rigidity within months of regular use. The 32mm tube on this rail is the commercial-grade specification that stays straight under a full 160kg load day after day. The powder coat finish is thermally bonded, not painted, resisting the scuffs and hanger marks that strip thinner finishes bare within a season.

Q: How easy is assembly?

A: Every joint uses a spring-loaded push pin. One person clicks the frame together in under five minutes with no tools, no screws and no Allen keys. Dismantles just as quickly for events, seasonal storage or relocation.

Q: Why single-tier instead of two-tier?

A: The single-tier gives you one continuous 6ft hanging run from end to end with no centre bar splitting the span. Garments slide freely for browsing displays and high-density loading. If you need double the hanging capacity in the same floor footprint, the two-tier version (RA9594X) adds an adjustable centre bar while sharing the same 160kg certification and 32mm frame.

Q: Can I move this rail when it is fully loaded?

A: Yes. Four smooth-rolling castor wheels are included and fit during assembly. Roll the rail across hard floors at full capacity between stockroom and shop floor, between rooms or to a loading bay without unloading.

Q: Will this fit through a standard doorway?

A: Yes. The rail has a depth of 510mm, which fits through standard internal doorways without disassembly even when fully assembled with the castors fitted. Move it between stockroom and shop floor, between rooms in a home or from a delivery van through a building entrance. The compact depth also means the rail sits against a wall or in an aisle without dominating the space or obstructing foot traffic around it.

Q: Is this suitable for home use?

A: Yes. The matte black finish and clean proportions are chosen to look like furniture, not like something borrowed from a warehouse. It suits loft conversions, spare bedrooms, walk-in wardrobes and anyone whose wardrobe has outgrown their cupboard space.

Q: How does the matte black finish hold up?

A: The powder coat is thermally bonded, not painted. It resists the daily scuffs, hanger marks and handling that strip cheaper painted finishes bare within a season. After a year of commercial use it looks the same as the day it was assembled.

Q: How many garments does this hold?

A: The 160kg certified capacity equates to a large volume of garments depending on weight and hanger width. The full 6ft uninterrupted span maximises hanging density because there is no centre bar consuming usable rail space.

Q: Is this available in other sizes or colours?

A: Yes. The same 160kg certified specification is available in 2ft, 3ft, 4ft, 5ft and 6ft widths, and in black, white and chrome finishes. All share the same BS EN 16121 certification and tool-free assembly.

Q: Is there a dust cover for this rail?

A: Yes. The 6ft clear clothes rail cover is designed to fit this rail exactly, keeping garments clean and dust-free during storage, transit or seasonal holding. The cover slips over the loaded rail and zips closed. Available as a separate order on this site. For stockrooms, warehouse environments and seasonal stock holding where garments sit on the rail for extended periods between use, the cover keeps everything presentable without needing to bag individual items.

Reviews

The rail and frame structure

"The rail and frame structure are strong and do the job very well. It is in a bedroom and does not need to be wheeled around, except for vacuuming the carpet behind. However, when we do move it, the wheels and/or their fitting to the frame not robust enough to take the weight of clothes hung of the rail and so tend to twist and sometimes fall off. The frame then has to be lifted to push the detached wheel back in place."

A nice solid clothes rail

"A nice solid clothes rail which is easily supporting the weight of clothes which collapsed my previous more flimsy rail from a different source. Quick and easy to put together, the wheels need a hefty shove to lock them into place but that is no bad thing. All in all I am very satisfied with my new rail and would have no hesitation in recommending it or buying again if I need more storage. My only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner!"

Excellent value. Very sturdy. Rapid

"Excellent value. Very sturdy. Rapid delivery and very easy to assemble. Bought as an emergency measure as our new house has no wardrobes yet-it’s holding an awful lot of heavy clothing with no problem. Highly recommended."

Really pleased with this clothes

"Really pleased with this clothes rail - we have just moved house and needed some hanging space and fast! This absolutely fitted the bill - the rail was delivered quickly, it was really easy to assemble and looks very smart. We were able to sort out a lot of our clothes and have them hanging in an evening. The two rails make it a great option for us, double the storage of a single hanging rail - we liked it so much that we bought another one for another bedroom. Excellent service, thank you!"

"I bought this (and the cover) as a stopgap for a proper wardrobe but I think I shall forget about the wardrobe. It was easy to put together and is very sturdy. I would have preferred to have the white version but that was out of stock for a couple of months (hence 4 stars, not five) but I was very pleased with how customer service dealt with this."
