We all have our reasons for why we purchase things. I personally required these to give extra length to a background sheet I use while filming my videos for YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and my websites. The quality of these is superb. The amount of weight one could place on these, if needed, is fabulous, and I am just really happy these exist. Great for planters, for hanging items off of rods/bars (not cocktail, but if you wanted, yes, that too), for whatever your brilliant mind can come up with, really. I am so happy I purchased these!
