This article actually reveals a lot more fragile than that of the same make and model I had for ten years. I had only replaced because it was not very fresh and marred an en suite repainted, but if I had known that the new was not at all the same robust quality, I would have looked elsewhere . The model is always so clever, nice to see because when folded it is almost invisible and does not encumber at all, but it must be handled very carefully, otherwise the bars dislodged and bend alarmingly soon as there hangs a cloth for example. Leifheit should review the resistance of the material used.
