Revainrating 1 out of 5

Obvious design flaw

Obvious design flaw makes you worry that something else might be spoiled. Yes, I'm mad because a five-minute job turned into an hour. I would happily pay double for an extension cord to get my hour back. There is no screw to fit the slots to hang it on the wall. why make such a fuss? BECAUSE I CAREFULLY CHOOSE THE NET FOR SUSPENSION. You can see the screw holes in the photos, but none of the screws fit. Make no mistake, the slots are too small for the head of a screw I've seen in 40 years. A five-minute job turned into almost an hour (one star). Time spent trawling through 1000 screws to find something that works and wondering if I could use a smaller screw (also useless). The time spent developing the plan involved finding the screws, temporarily fastening the screws to a piece of wood, progressively grinding the screw heads, and then checking that they matched the extension. After about 10 attempts, I finally ground the screw head properly. Unless you have special metal grinding equipment, you can't hang it on the wall unless you use tape.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Not everything fits
