Product processing and appearance
ℹ️ Before we start the practical test, we take a close look at the workmanship of the products. How high quality are the materials used? Are the look and feel satisfactory?

*The maximum score is 100 points
The entire set makes a modern and timeless impression and fits into any kitchen thanks to its white or silver color scheme. Overall, the product components can be considered to be of high quality, with the only drawback being the stainless steel stand. Although this makes a very stable and functional impression, there is a 4-5 mm processing defect on the underside. As this is located on the underside of the stand, it is not visually noticeable . The sustainability of the product is very good. The rung set can be used again and again due to the sturdy and overall high-quality workmanship and the rungs are supplied in a paper bag. The sprout ABC brochure is also made of sturdy paper, so that durability can also be assumed here.
