Recent purchase so no hindsight yet. It looks sturdy! Very practical and functional! Especially the surprise of the side extensions which are long enough and allowed me to go even further! Small hiccup, the Gibraltar rods in "recommended accessories" which are not compatible with the diameter of the rack feet. The latter are too wide. Even by tightening the mechanism fully, you won't be able to fix the rod. Customer service, to see the solutions proposed.
