This, at first, didnt seem like an issue. The elasticity is great and very comfortable and the overall quality is top notch. very heavy. Extremely happy with this product since I can use my phone for multiple things while only having one cable in the charging port. Other than that, they are very nice. A prior buyer recommended installing it into a stud versus drywall with the anchors and I would 100% agree with this approach. Totally comfortable! Great clean lows and highs. I ordered a second pair in brown and will probably order the nude also. This rack is not able to hold the claim of heavy weight.
