I did lots of research before deciding to buy the RoofBag. Since I use mine on a small kitchen table when cooking and safe. The width of the bar is perfect for dish towels because it doesnt force you to fold the towel over or bunch it up, allowing it to dry faster. No worries, the cork seems still to surrounded by liquid and the air bubble is elsewhere, as it should be. A little tip, after cutting to size, use a lighter to melt the ends of the belt to keep it from fraying. Garbage 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 The straps fit my feet really good. I got a pair of Lazy Ones for myself a few years ago and love them, so when I saw them this year bought a pair for my sisters and a friend--Everyone loves them, too! So I got this for the little foyer that is in my apartment to allow people to take off their shoes as well as putting up coats etc when they come into my home. Did I say heavy and a tight squeeze to fit on your neck.
