A TESTIMONIAL FROM JIM & REBECCA OF SMITHFIELD, VA
" Your rack is very well built which shows the amount of time and thought that was put into designing them. The rack was easy to assemble and all the parts fit together beautifully. Very good job! We are so pleased with this drying rack that we are ordering another right now. We have other drying racks but this is the best we have had the pleasure to use. The quality and size makes it a very good value."- Jim
" I think a picture is worth a thousand words so I took a few pictures to illustrate the difference between our Homesteader Drying Rack and the largest 'other' drying rack available online. The rack I am showing next to the homesteader has 56 sq. ft of drying space and currently sells for 110.00 postpaid. It has very thin dowels which will start to bow after use. It is much narrower and shorter which means many regular size items just don't fit well on the rack. One of the most important things I should mention is that the design of the racks from Forgotten Way Farms is that they allow for good airflow between each dowel so clothes can actually dry is good time. My hope is that after reading our testimonial and viewing the pictures every potential customer will make a decision to purchase from Forgotten Way Farms. There are so few handcrafted items of this quality that are still Made in America and this is an item that will stand the test of time!" - Rebecca

Picture #1 and #2 show the two racks side by side. On the left is the Forgotten Way rack that is tall, strong, and will take king size sheets without a problem. Next to it is the rack I've been using. It looks anemic doesn' t it?
Picture #3
This picture show a standard size throw rug and a standard size towel on the rack. As you can see the edges of both pieces are hanging on the frame itself because the rack is too narrow.

Picture #4
The same standard throw rug and towel are shown on The Homesteader. You can see how much room there is on either side. When pulling the items to one side of the rack there is still a whopping 15 1/2 inches left to hang clothes on.

This picture illustrates how the 'other' rack's top section is always popping out of place ...even with clothes on the top! This is so annoying because I have to continually stop and reposition it when hanging clothes. This will never, ever happen with Forgotten Way's products due to the excellent design.

We have been using wood drying racks in front of our buck stove to dry clothes for over 10 years now. This process has just become much faster and more enjoyable due to the design and quality of our new Homesteader drying rack. Thank you Forgotten Way Farms!
