Quality productThis beautiful stocking holder is heavy and sits on the mantle/shelf nicely. It is meant to hold stockings that are loaded with items. One note of caution is that if a child or adult pulls to hard on the stocking outward towards the room the holder could fall off the mantle and if it strikes a foot or other body part it could cause injury due to its weight. This is not an issue if the stocking is simply pulled upward off the hook.
