I have two rugged clothing racks that I bought from a Filene’s Basement liquidation sale many years ago. WAY more sturdy than the cheap ones from Target and I think they were $20 or $25 each.

I also have a few hand shopping baskets from Toys R Us that are handy for everything. I use them when picking veggies at my local farm and for loading and unloading my RV. Super strong!

I've seen the same thing at several Sears locations here in Annapolis over the years. First at the old Parole Plaza (it moved to the mall down the street), then when they closed at the mall. As a "tool guy" I loved it for the deep discounts ;-)

My Beloved Stepmother was on the design team at Nordstrom's until she took early retirement during the pandemic -- she did new builds and renovations all over the US (notably Michigan Ave in Chicago, and the NYC store -- also a LOT of Racks), but I don't think she personally did any of the Canadian stores. Whatever their retain strategy, they are a great company to work for and treat their employees really well. It was a nice way for her to end her career.
