I have bought the item because of previous very good product reviews. My intension was to deface a secure border without the steps. Because we are a household with children and a dog appeared to me this product from safety and hygienic reasons as geeinet. So zumindes the plan ... Is that the price is absolutely no justification has already been mentioned several times. However, more important is the fact that the promised product feature does not exist! After I fell twice from the stairs already within a short time (even with a 5-month-old infant in her arms!) And my 3 year old daughter is also slipped on the stairs, the strips are again removed and replaced by a carpet.
