Although some customers have lost this wonderful Wäschespinne not a good word, I am totally happy that I bought it yet. It is really much nicer than the usual metal spiders and fits perfectly in our small garden. The handling is, if you look not just totally "wooden" hires, easily. From day one, can the clothes dryer on prima-and rigging. So they do not slip out of the holder when mounted, I press my foot just a little against the standpipe and everything's easy. A bit annoying was that we obviously have bought returned goods at a reduced price without knowing this before ... the packaging was very chaotic and it is also a small plastic corner at the Wäschespinne canceled ... so as described in the previous customer reviews :( but is not important for the function ;-)
