Walmart is a great place to shop. Internet purchasing puts money into people and communities thousands of miles away. While Walmart is a big company, at least many of the employees will be local. They can bring good prices because their distribution system is fantastic, other companies are scrambling to duplicate the efficiencies of their warehousing system. The only downside is that a lot of other people think the same way so the Walmarts I go to are usually pretty crowded. You can avoid the crowds and go to other stores, but just be aware that you are paying for the convenience of having a leisurely shopping experience.

Joe, the comment from Heidi Hunt is one I was going to share. I discovered Lehman's last year and have made several purchases including a 100% wood indoor folding drying rack. They have two available and I would go for the larger, more durable version. It's definitely sturdy. It is shipped from the maker so it took a little longer than Lehman's normally takes, but worth the wait. We've been using it instead of dryer the last couple months and cut our electrical wattage use in half. They also have outdoor umbrella clotheslines for when nice weather returns. I'll be ordering one of those in the next couple months. www.lehmans.com

Shopping at Walmart is questionable. Regardless of what they offer or the advertised pricing, their labor and other business practices are highly suspect (see PBS' Frontline report - http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/walmart/). Lots of wooden drying racks are available online from more reputable companies if you can't find a store near you that sells them.

I was thinking the same , as Angie . Kinda high priced
stuff on the internet .

I just saw 100% wooden clothes drying racks at Wal-Mart for less than $20.
