I could see all sorts of things falling in to them. 5-7 shoe and these are a small 5-6. Two complaints The screw mounting holes only allow the cord to be on the right side which then means the outlets are upside down. It is very light and can be easily moved throughout the home. Ours has gone into a solid wood bathroom door for coats etc - its having to put up with quite a bit of weight from Parka Coats etc and its standing up to that quite well! It looked nice though. But it hasnt happened yet. Both have more metal than the Sonys. Calls sound great. Way less, but lower quality.
