Abstract
A laundry stand having a plurality of sleeve connectors, a plurality of elongated members, and plurality of crossrods with end connectors thereon. The sleeve connectors include an enlarged head portion, a hollow body portion defining a central bore, and a end portion having a greater diameter than the hollow body portion. The sleeve connector further defines a slot in the tail portion for allowing the end portion to resiliently deflect inwardly to fit within a bore of a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the hollow body portion. The sleeve connectors each also include an inwardly formed resilient tab used to maintain end connectors within the sleeve connector.
