The tassel immediately pulled out the first time I tried to open the front zippered pocket. Seemingly there were two screws that appear to be intended to hold it in place, however it wasn't in long enough for me to see whether they just weren't screwed in or if they were ineffective.<br /><br />With much difficulty I was finally able to get the tassel back into place (I couldn't get the screws in though), but I will have to be very careful not to touch it wrong again.<br /><br />I am extremely disappointed with the poor quality of this product.
