Our practical test has shown that the manufacturer fulfils its advertising promises regarding corner and edge protection. Installation is very simple and straightforward. Once the surface has been cleaned, the adhesive strip can be removed and the edge protector attached to the piece of furniture. Press lightly for 10 seconds to secure the protection in place. Removal is also easy and leaves no residue. No adhesive residue remains and the use of cleaning agents is not necessary.
The accuracy of fit of the corner and edge protectors is also very good. In our test, we tested the edge protection on various pieces of furniture such as tables and sideboards and it fitted perfectly and was securely fastened. This is crucial for an effective safety solution.
Our practical test has shown that the corner and edge protector is very easy to clean and retains its colour and shape after cleaning. This is an important aspect, as the guard needs to be cleaned regularly to ensure a hygienic environment for children.
The adhesion of the product is very good. It adheres firmly to the furniture and does not fall off. However, the manufacturer points out that the protection must be checked regularly and replaced as soon as the adhesion wears off. In our test, small children were unable to remove the protection, which speaks in favour of safe and reliable adhesion.
The corner and edge protector poses no potential danger to children or pets as it does not contain any parts that can be swallowed. It is an effective and safe solution to minimise the risk of injury to babies from hard corners and offer them more safety in everyday life. Our test has confirmed this.
