Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I rarely write reviews, but it seems every other review misses the intended design of this rack, so I felt compelled to offer this input. The clips are too tight to slide the tie all the way under - correct - no need to complain about this OR manually bend them open. Simply slide the edge of your tie under the edge of the clip with just a little push - it doesn't take much to get a small pinch. Likewise, the tie should be balanced and isn't likely to go anywhere, so a small pinch is all that's needed to keep the ties in place as you pull the rack off the shelf to look for a tie. I've done this a dozen times and not a tie has slipped off. This is a perfectly good design and it's so easy to use, I can't believe people are sending it back or pulling out their pliers. I'll put a picture up to show how it should be used.

Never had a tie slip off, haven't damaged a single tie (I have a variety of thicknesses and materials from thick wool to fine silk), and it's still fast and easy to use. Looks as good as the day it showed up too; I'm hoping it will late the rest of my tie-wearing career!
