These airers are sold untreated and it is up to the customer whether they treat or not. Some customers have used several coats of varnish. If used to dry wet/damp clothes the rungs will darken over time but they do not stain the clothes. I have one which has darkened over the years and it now has a worn and well used look which I personally like. I regularly use it to dry my washing and none of my whites have ever been left with a stain. The airer remains as sturdy and strong as when first purchased. I hope you find this information helpful and please do not hesitate to get in touch should you have any further queries.
No. All our airers are delivered fully constructed and ready to use.

Yes but if you do decide to purchase please add a note to this effect so that we can make the hinges on one panel slightly longer to allow more movement.
