I thought the clothesline I purchased from you was similar to one that I had at my previous house but the quality does not appear to be the same in this one as it does not look or feel as solid as the one I had. In particular, the frame and the mechanism that lets it fold up and down. In this one it is not as easy to fold down and it just seems less solid. The people who installed this one for me said I should have kept the clothesline I was replacing instead as they thought it was better than your one, even though the old one was rusty and very old. For those reasons I am skeptical about my purchase. It remains to be seen if the product I purchased from you stands the test of time as I had the previous clothesline at my former house for almost 9 years and it hadn't deteriorated at all. I do not know what brand it was but I was very impressed by it. I hope I can say that about this one in 9 years.
