The umbra FLIP 5 hook is a beautiful and solid piece of hardwood. The edges are smooth with no splinters anywhere that would snag or catch on anything you would want to hang. The flip hooks are super strong(as tested by my purse that contains everything but the kitchen sink lol) and don't "snap" back causing pinching of tiny fingers. Having the flip hooks "retract" is also a great idea for homes with small children if you would like to install it within their reach, no poking their eyes or scraped foreheads.

Installation is super easy with the included paper measuring guide and simple instructions. Fixed securely to my wall with drywall anchors, I have no fear of loading it up with coats and purses. And when it isn't being used it still looks like a modern design element and not your traditional coat hooks. Very pleased with the design and functionality of this piece, and exceptional quality that will withstand many years of use.
