I love this product! It was sturdy and I had a lot of stuff in my stockings. Would definitely recommendThese Candy Cane Stocking Holders are nice. They work by "hooking" the hook on the edge of your mantle, and the bottom of the cane leans against the under-shelf. There is a small, additional white hook, near the bottom, that can be used to hang stockings, etc. I like the look, solid structure of these, and they are great because I didn't have to put holes or tape on the mantle! My mantle is a bit deep, as in the part that juts out is thin, but it sticks out about four inches from the wall. The canes lean more than shown in the demo-pictures, but again, this is because my mantle is deep. I gave four out of five stars because these canes are fairly stable, but bumping them to the side makes them less stable. But again, this is likely due to my mantle features. Great product- glad I don't have to use tape or nails!When I removed these from the package, I wasn't sure they would work. I hung them up without the stockings and they were not steady. I was concerned they would not hold the stockings, or might slide around and potentially break some nearby ornaments on the mantel. Once I put the (empty) stockings on them, they stayed in place very well (seem to need a bit of weight to stay put). I even batted them around a bit to see if they would slide or fall off if they were bumped; they stayed within about an inch of where I had placed them. They're cute and look great on the mantel.These stocking holders are the only ones I have found that actually hold our heavy stockings. Everything I tried fell off of the mantle but these stay in place and are able to rock a bit if they are touched by anything. The only complaint I have is the anchors/balls that keep them on the mantle come off pretty easily. One of ours came off with a slight tug and we had to order more. Once the anchor is removed, the yarn unravels.Haven’t used yet however I like it sooo much I ordered two years ago a set of 4 and now all I need is 2 more happy to find itThey are very cute and hold a lot of weight for santa's stocking fillers! I like the look of them and get lots of compliments on them when I have company over my house! I do wish the rubbery material to keep the hanger on the mantle was a bit more sturdier because it took me awhile to put them onto the mantle without them falling off of it! I also didn't like how the hanger moves from side to side. I always have to fix them! Other than that these stocking hangers should be in your shopping cart! Very cute!I hang stockings over the fireplace for decoration: not to hold presents. I ordered these hangers to match previously purchased. I like them for my purpose..We bought 4 of these last year and added a DIL to the family so had to order more this year. Very cute and sturdy!Excellent value for money and fit to mantle piece well - vibrant red and white silky cord finish - love how they lookSo having searched desperately for tasteful stocking holders, I decided to ultimately go with something that looked fun and appealing to the kids. When they arrived I was pleasantly surprised to find that they were far higher quality in feel and look (material embellishment as opposed to the painted on plastic striping I had assumed) and they felt very durable too. I ended up placing a second order as I liked them so much. Very good price for the quality.Absolutely loved these! They finished off the mantle piece beautifully and held the stockings up well. Even withstood the naughty elves!Good value for money, nice and cheap. Could have been made a little eater as you can see the glue holding it together. But for the price of the product and he fact it’s knly in use for one month of the year I’m happy.Very nice stocking hooks. Looked lovely at Christmas.
