The format, in practice

At 135 cm high, it stands on the floor without a base, at the height of a piece of furniture. It is 320 cm wide, so it takes a whole wall or a large open span. Measure before you fall for it. Its smallest cross-section is 320 cm, wider than a standard door leaf. Check the doorways and the stairwell before delivery, we do it with you.
