Works great and holds 27 of my shoes (3 are flats and I put them on top of one another). So I have to deal with a little light in order to avoid the discomfort. I have them in one bathroom for wet towels and I have some on the side of my kitchen island for a wreath and potholders. They are well designed and the hooks really make them feel safer. how do I put it? Soft, squishy. Its a traditional story from the Dan people in the vicinity of Liberia in Africa. I believe it holds well enough but I wouldnt chance it by over hanging items. A perfectly working replacement for a damaged 2. This controller is trash who ever reading this and you think of buying it dont do it because you going to regret it. Amazon, as always, was fantastic in allowing me to exchange them.
