In our intensive practical test, we put the Mutkind corner protector through its paces to find out whether it lives up to the manufacturer’s high expectations.
Installation is indeed extremely simple and intuitive, so even non-professionals should have no difficulties . It is important that the surface to which the corner protector is to be attached is carefully cleaned to ensure optimum adhesion. Removing the adhesive pad is straightforward thanks to the attached tab.
The fitting accuracy of the corner protector is excellent and fits all standard furniture without any problems. The adhesion and safety of the product fully meet expectations, as the corner protectors effectively contain potential hazards. This is particularly important for the safety of babies and small children. The large adhesive surface prevents children from unintentionally removing the corner protector.
Removal is also easy with a little heat. Cleaning the product is uncomplicated, which facilitates long-term use.
