The new airers aren’t as robust as the old one we replaced, everything appears slimmed down to the minimum material required. This is confirmed by the old cover which fits loosely over the new one, also the plastic string (best description I can use) to secure it when closed doesn’t look as though it will last long - previous one had a more substantial Velcro band. Paid extra for the colour however the braces when open are silver so looks cheap. Disappointing from Brabantia.
