Ball system for the handles have always disappointed me until today. This rolling pin is simply designed, the wood is hard enough and he is also long enough. I can handle it well when the rolling pin is geschnizt in one piece, everyone needs to know for himself. One more thing the rolling pin is high so you have to think a good place beforehand, and briefly whisk in the dishwasher, with a cloth over it he goes MUST NOT. For me a top purchase !!!
