I bought these to take on a cruise to hang washcloths in the shower; and will likely use for hotel showers for future travel. I can tighten the straps without fear of the hooks sliding or scratching. The build quality is very good and the inside is padded so your mouse wont take any damage if you leave it in your bag Because the parts are all sold separate the hard part is gathering all the instructions together and making sure youre doing everything right. For what I need though, Im very satisfied. Took me over two hours to assemble with a hammer and I still have pieces that won?t go together. After several more attempts, I was finally able to pair the two units for intercom. I put them in a pair of my Keen shoes and theyve made a great difference. They are just as expected in style and comfort. How is this getting good reviews?!
