This is a great product!  Granted, I feel like it's something you would have a not terribly hard time making yourself out of PVC if you wanted to, but we do love it!  When our 3 kids come inside from playing in the snow, not only are their hats and gloves not draped all over the place dripping on the floor, they're quickly dried too.  Organization + function - can't beat it!  We've also been known to spoil ourselves by putting gloves on it before going outside on cold days for some toasty pre-warmed gloves. ;)  It's a little bit of a pain to undo the pipes to put it back in the bag, so we just leave it assembled all winter, but that's a minor inconvenience.
