Unfortunately, I have to rely on the specification of the drying length of 15 meters - why not. But if my ruler does not have a measurement error of about 10%, is a mere 13 meters. I find this annoying and completely unnecessary! Now I must get myself a new drying rack, because return I found impractical given the oversized packaging. Moreover shown the legs of my former stand with universal joint a much safer level. Two stars, because the perceived quality is not bad. Recommendation: select one size larger.
