Have had it 5 months and am VERY happy with it. The pegs themselves are the same diameter as Olympic bars so you would have to compress springs if you want to store your springs on the tree. I ordered 1 size larger than what the chart says. It wouldnt be a big problem if I didnt buy these as a present for my wife. "L" and "R" indicators are embossed on the 2?pin connectors. Loved the way this dress fit! Swimmer and always wore reefs. I?ve only used them for a week so far the only complaint I have is that you can?t click to change songs. The distance between the bars is short compared to the roofline, so a long kayak leaves long, floppy ends to tie up. Sturdy and was very easy to install.
