Ive introduced 3 friends to this brand. zThere is no beef in the metal to have it set firmly, and the glue and small nails do not hold the plate. Reviews said they ran a little long so I ordered an 8 wide. It’s quite pretty compared to other shoe racks on the market and reasonably priced. Easy and fast to use. It seems to reach for every ball and gives every stroke an incredible curve as well as power. Ive used a couple of the shrink tubes already and they work really well and bond just as well as the amount of heat you apply to them. I purchased this one to add to my "collection" as I needed one more and the ones I had previously purchased It doesnt hold bottles that are larger than normal, but it is perfect for regular sized wine bottles, which is most of what we have. Holds its shape, so easy to slip on and off.
