The towel rack appears to be well made and seems sturdy enough for its intended use. These speakers are just OK. -the cords feed out of the bottom of the neckband which seems a bit weird. I live full time on a boat and can count on one hand the times I have worn "normal" shoes. NEW and fine. the quality! I love having him in front of me and we get to talk to each other while riding. So many of my friends love FitFlop, so decided to try this slipper for a new house shoe. As others have stated, these dont last long. But the sound is what matters and the sound here is great!
