At first glance, the tarpaulin buttons appear functional and robust. The design is simple but practical, with smooth, rounded edges that do not damage the tarpaulin when fastened. In terms of workmanship, almost all buttons were free of burrs, sharp edges, or material defects – an indication of precise manufacturing quality. However, two buttons had slight edges, but this is negligible given the quantity. The material gives a high-quality and durable impression that can withstand tensile stress. The buttons performed well in the stability test: even under heavy use, they showed no cracks or deformation. Although sustainable aspects such as recycled plastic are not explicitly stated, the high material density and durability suggest a long service life. Overall, the product is of a very high standard, both visually and technically.

The size test already showed that all buttons exactly matched the specified specifications. The dimensions were uniform and the surfaces were cleanly finished, enabling precise installation.
When attached to the test tarpaulin, the buttons could be fastened effortlessly and evenly. They sat firmly in the tarpaulin without any play or wobbling and could be mounted easily with light pressure. It was particularly positive that no excessive force was required and the fit was very precise.
The buttons remained stable even under tensile stress. There were no cracks or deformations, and the tarpaulin remained securely in place. Even after repeated opening and closing of the connection, the buttons retained their shape and function. Assembly and disassembly were straightforward, and the grip proved to be ergonomically well designed. Overall, the practical test showed that Fox Bunny tarpaulin buttons are stable, smooth-running, and durable—clear evidence of their high practicality.
