Ukrainian Rack - Update #3
Written by akienm on 10/31/2011 at 10:52 pm

The Ukranian one is *extremely* sturdy. In one of the posted pics, my GF is
sitting on it. And as far as I can tell, she's not particularly stressing
it. It's very much just an extension of the frame. It also appears to be
powder coated, which was also a very nice and unexpected extra feature.
Without shop tools, there's no way using just my own body that I could bend
this thing. And my daughter is quite happy with the "handles" it creates.
When I was a kid, this is how my dad taught me things *should* be built
(and seldom are).

It's also the case that right after I posted my exuberant, tho incomplete,
review, the seller contacted me to discuss how to make it fit even more
perfectly. He clearly takes this very seriously.
