I am of the telescopic shelf very enthusiastic. My kitchen is fully tiled to the ceiling and so it's not so easy to install wall cabinets because I'm not allowed to drill in tiles / tiles in my apartment. I had to improvise something, because the shelf should be placed on the worktop. That's why I had to give up a part of the pole, but this does not detract from the stability. With a bit of logical understanding the installation is absolutely no problem.
