I often buy the Brabantia brand products for their quality. As I discovered this clothes line, I was skeptical and I consulted internet to see its use in video. The advantage of this dryer lies in its compact size when folded. It installs easily on an outside front wall or pillar (which is my case.) I installed it on a pillar of my pergola on the terrace of my apartment. It opens and closes easily using the handle attached to the central arm. By cons, we must ask about its size when unfolded (1.80 mx 1.80 m), for a balcony may be that a fair bit. It comes with a protective cover of good quality embroidered brabantia. The Amazon price is very competitive because it is in supermarkets at 120-130. I hesitate to buy protective stainless steel box on the reviews of Amazon consumers (some say it is in polished stainless, yet the name is Matt Steel and the closure system is not of good quality). To see. For me, the cover is sufficient for the moment.
