The rust is stable and thus really to use. The distances of the "bars" are ok, a little larger than at Seienrosten but acceptable. A little disturbing, I find that the distance between guide rail and rust on a page is very large (At just under 10cm) so that the floor space is severely limited. My stove has a width of 44cm (inside dimension) -A large frying I can not cook there. For wider ovens, the bearing surface increases as the rust could be pulled apart. Nevertheless I forgive five stars because it is by far the most stable version that I have seen so far and because the price / performance ratio is top.
