One customer complained that the actual dimensions of the product did not match the stated dimensions, which can lead to misunderstandings.

During our own testing, we found that the stability and organization system of the cable channel is impressive and lives up to the positive customer reviews. Nevertheless, it was important to consider the aspects mentioned in the negative reviews in order to get a comprehensive overview of the product.
