Our clothespins have gradually abandoned by the spirit. Since I ordered this because they looked very nice and promised by the design also less footprints. Well, the design is also "in nature" still beautiful, I like this place What I like less is the fact that to be wrong when squeezing the clips and jump out of the guide. Feels very uncomfortable when the squeezing feeling arises as though you apart jumps equal. They can indeed squeeze again, but in each clip that's really expensive! Apart from this: Good! ;-)
