Have an inside pair and one to wear out. the plastic around the one ear piece is starting to split, where the line goes into the ear piece. The new one is more matte and rigid. It works perfectly in my newly renovated bathroom to hold all my towels and extra bathroom stuff. This extremely well-priced 3-pack of hooks was perfect for what I needed. hi seller thank you for the item very pleased thank you The controls were amazing also. I could not be happier with this purchase. Does not take long to untie stuff because of the simple tightening buckle mechanism of the straps. WouldBe better if it came with instructions for mounting for people who may not know how.
